I always hated thinking about the day when we would see Kevin play his final game in a zags uniform, but it also got me thinking. Did Kevin play himself onto the Gonzaga basketball Mount Rushmore? What do you guys think?

It is nearly impossible to try and pick just 4 zags to put up there.....ugh...So many incredible and impossible choices.Allow myself to introduce....myself...Comment

You need a Stockton - pick your favorite, and a Vandersloot.“No team in the country has a better winning percentage against power conference teams since 2017 than Gonzaga... the Zags are playing above average teams in the best leagues in the country and winning 78% of the time.”

I think Pangos belongs - but Pangos should go nowhere without Gary pictured alongside, almost as "one entity."
I think Stockton, Burgess, Dickau, Morrison, Pangos-Bell, Vandersloot, and Ronny (b/c Ronny should be left off nothing positive about GU) - I know that is more than four, but, really, FDR should be added to the real Rushmore (Depression and WWII) - so, I feel comfortable adding additional numbers.
Kelly, as another All-American, has great qualifications, too. Maybe a big statue of Kelly right at the entrance.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

No. Not even the POINT guard Rushmore, which is John, Matt, DD and Blake.Comment

Dan Dickau made it pretty close for me, but I just don't see how you can't have pangos in the discussion when his stats and tournament success outweigh everyoneOriginally posted by jazzdelmar View Post

I guess you can make a case on the eye test, which is something opinionated. And I cannot argue. No real argument from me, when you have all those great names you mentioned jazz.Qualified for 26 Straight Big Dances

Don't even know how to answer the question. As noted by others very hard to pick just four. Glad to see Vandersloot get mentioned, she was phenomenal!Comment

Burgess, Stockton, Morrison, Bol KongComment

What? No Biggs McGee? lolOriginally posted by Ezag View Post
Sorry, I limit Mt. Rushmore to those that were here four years and graduated. That takes out Ammo, Dickau, Olynyk, and Micah Downs.
Burgess, Stockton, Pangos, and Bouldin. Sorry Blake...Comment

Agree with you TZF. However, Kelly WAS here 4 years & graduated, 1st team Academic AA.Originally posted by TexasZagFan View PostBut we don't play nobody.Comment

You are correct, 50. Tough call, great young man, great Zag. I should have been specific, i.e. playing for four years. Ammo and Kelly made the right move for themselves, leaving with one year of eligibility.Originally posted by sittingon50 View Post
If Karno comes back, he'd have the potential to bust through the door, too. All Academic team in WCC this year. An amazing feat for any foreign student-athlete.Comment
