    Meehan: Zags have good nucleus coming back

    Gonzaga seniors were coming to grips with the end of their basketball careers in the locker room at Viejas Arena in San Diego following an NCAA tournament loss to Arizona. Drew Barham went from answering retrospective questions to an inquiry about the Bulldogs’ future. “They’re going to be good,” Barham said. “They have a lot of guys coming back and a lot of pieces coming in.”

    Pretty much says what I've been saying re: Sabonis, and echoes Bud Withers re: Coleman.

      Surprised there is this much open talk about Coleman. I thought they kept things closer to the vest.

        Meehan seems to not beat around the bush:

        Transfers Angel Nunez (Louisville) and Gerard Coleman (Providence) had numerous highlight-reel plays but never found consistent spots in the rotation. Nunez, who became eligible in late December, had two double-figure games and averaged 7.2 minutes.

        Coleman played double-digit minutes in just two of the last 10 games. He is expected to weigh his options – returning to what figures to be a crowded GU backcourt or seeking more playing time elsewhere.

        There are growing indications Domantas Sabonis, son of former Portland Trail Blazers center Arvydas Sabonis, will join GU’s 2014 class.

        The 6-10 Lithuanian is playing for a Spanish team but didn’t sign a contract to preserve the option of playing collegiately in the U.S.
        but surprised there isn't more regarding Meikle with only this tidbit:

        Meikle had his best effort of the season against Arkansas in Maui but played in only four games after Jan. 2.

          Meehan didn't really say much about Coleman other than say he was weighing his options. Frankly, whatever Gerard decides, I hope it works out well. I could see him adjusting to a role on this team but I could also see him seeking out more playing time. I am sure it also depends on whether he has his degree so he is eligible to transfer as a 5th year senior.

                  Reads like a Gonzaga press release, with Few patting himself on the back at the end. Spin starts early.

                    Jazz can't believe a Spokane sports writer would have so many optimistic things to say about our Zags.

                    Jazz-- heard manhattan is going to give your ex-coach his job back after he gets his degree--- good deal. Going to be teaching his recruits about what to put on a resume and what to leave off it sounds like.


                    Win a couple of games and they turn their heads some errors on the old resume.

                    The spin starts a little later in manhattan i guess.

                      It's Manhattan. And I'm as embarrassed as most by the move. What does that have to do with the Meehan hosanna? Fwiw, a million years ago I used to write such "articles" as the SID at MANHATTAN. I am familiar with the process.

                          It was my first job so I spun like everyone else. Now I am able to be objective, if that's what you are talking about.

                            Help me out with the "objective" line of thought.

                            “I’m blown away by what they were able to do,” Few said. “We had some makeshift lineups (due to injuries) for long stretches. It’s remarkable.”

                            Some would say they Few was complimenting the team for overcoming challenges during the season.

                            You say that Few was "patting himself on the back" and "spinning" something----- i agree someone is trying to "spin" something.

                            We understand that you are not a fan of our coach-- but I have a hard time standing by when someone starts "spinning" -- kinda like you.

                              That's the way I read it: he was complimenting the players for what they had achieved.
