Cool article on Suggs and why he chose Gonzaga. Said he is most looking forward to playing Tennessee in MSG and Texas Tech because of Elite 8 revenge. He speaks of that Elite 8 team as if he was apart of the program rooting them on back then! He's gonna make that game personal.

I like the use of “us” in his quote about TT.

Folks were quick to discuss how long a drive it was from Minnesota...but no info on whether Suggs is coming or is here? Past 30 June. Are we concerned? Caldwell??
Going to go out on a limb and guess Jalen & family spent the day settling into his dorm & other freshmen stuff yesterday.Quote:

Well if you're not in the know (like you), then obviously the question wasn't directed at you.Quote:

Caldwell is retiring due to having to answer the same question over and over and over and over and over. Sorry I forgot to put my GPS tracker on Jalen, but again for the millionth time Jalen's plan is to be a Zag.Quote:

Yeah probably true!Quote:

I can't speak for ZB, but I don't talk to my contacts daily as I don't want to burn those bridges by over asking. Patience is a virtue, patience is key. What indication do we have that Suggs is not in Spokane? I have said it for a LONG time that Suggs will be a Zag, nothing that I have heard has convinced me otherwise.Quote:

i'd also recommend joining (paid) inside the kennel. max on that site is a great source of information, and actually gets $$$ for answering the same question over and over again.
Just be glad you weren’t doing this back when we were all waiting for Bol Kong to show up.Quote:

Really good point to bring up. Caldwell is providing this information to us for free. Beggars don't get to be choosers.Quote:

To put today's conversation into perspective, some of y'all are making a rather huge deal out of a 18 year old arriving on campus or not. If his name wasn't Jalen Suggs, this would be an extremely creepy thing to focus on.
I would like to thank Caldwell for all your super info that you keep giving us. People relax and enjoy the summer. This could be a very chaotic year and all of us need to sit back and enjoy the journey. NOBODY is going to be able to predict what will happen this year. No games, partial year, no crowds, March madness, or ????
But even if we do not see the team much, think about what the practices are probably like. We have 13-15 super players that are going to be taking the time to make each of them better. And great coaches that are going to help all of them improve.

This sounds as if they are together.
But perhaps the most exciting element of the team for some fans is the addition of the Tricky Trio. Jalen Suggs, Dominick Harris, and Julian Strawther make up Gonzaga’s best recruiting class of all-time. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few days watching the Trio play to see what their real strengths and weaknesses are, and how they will fit on this year’s roster. As our fearless leader Peter Woodburn told me on Monday, it’s pretty wild that Gonzaga recruits now have full games, some of them nationally televised, to watch on YouTube as opposed to scouring the internet for mixtapes.
