2021 Japanese PG Chikara Tanaka to be at Basketball without Borders along with Zakharov, Strawther, and Ballo. Playing on a loaded IMG team this year.
Hard to imagine they haven’t gone H2H in AAU with Gregg on the loaded Rose City Rebels last spring and Bittle playing with West Coast Elite last spring, but not sure....

2021 forwards Ben Gregg (Portland) and Kaden Perry (Battle Ground) attended GU-BYU game, spent time with coaches afterward. Gregg has multiple Pac-12 offers. Perry, who hasn't been on AAU circuit, but has drawn interest from Oregon State
I like Perry’s game. Very bouncy player but also has a decent skill set. Reminds me of a little bigger Clarke.
Cool story too. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/spo...l-inspiration/
Really like Bittle but he runs with West Coast Elite - he’s not going to GU....Gregg on the other hand seems very likely given it seems like it was said GU is his dream school.
Another 2021 big deserves his own thread - Paolo Banchero out of O’Dea in Seattle. Top 5 national recruit in our backyard who was at GU team camp last year.
One of Coach Few’s sons is 2021 and plays AAU - coaches have seen plenty of Banchero - only problem is both his parents went to UW so they’ll be hard to beat most likely.
Rose City EYBL just announced Perry running with them on Nike Circuit and just got offer from Montana....their post says he’s a young soph - still only 15
From what I have heard Banchero is not a serious option at this point, hints why he does not have his own thread. We are aware of him of course, but UW seems like the logical landing spot at this point in time. Things can change though.
Gregg will end up being our first 2021 commit I have been saying that for awhile now and will reiterate that once he is offered expect a commitment very shortly after.
Bittle we really like and he has mentioned he likes us to, I would not worry about what AAU program he runs with, as GU is a national brand now and we can land kids from any level of high school/AAU program.
Thrilled at the mere thought Zags are going after Gregg, Perry and possibly Bittle. Two out of three would a success.

Update on five-star sophomore Nate Bittle: Oregon’s Dana Altman will see him within the next two weeks, a source told @Stockrisers.
Gonzaga, Arizona, and St. Mary’s all have been in touch and will have someone watch Bittle when UAA is in Kansas City next week.
By looking at the Vegas tape, Bittle impresses me with his handle and perimeter shooting. Being a tall, thin kid from Oregon, how does he compare with Wiltjer as a high schooler? I know KW was a burger boy and all.
Another name to watch
