2020 Jalen Suggs: Verbal Commit on 1/3/20

[thespywhozaggedme]

It's during the USF game; crowd should be rowdy. Hopefully the students will chant, "We want Jalen" clap clap clapclapclap

[BobZag]

Jalen Suggs will be visiting GU the same days Julian Strawther visits on Feb.

A massive recruiting weekend for Few & Co.

[zag67]

Is Julian Strawther also coming that weekend? Thx

[GonzagasaurusFlex]

Suggs is regarded as the the No. 2 combination guard and the No. 11 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Pair Dominic Harris w Jalen Suggs? Yes, please!!!

No offense to Pargo or Raivio, but these are the Zag backcourt tandems I’d like to add Harris/Suggs to:
Santangelo/ Frahm
Dickau/Stepp
Pangos/Bell
Perkins/Melson

This guy is a really good basketball player, right?

[kitzbuel]

That's not super impressive if you're competing against the Duke, UNC, Kansas, or Kentucky types for a recruit. They have many many more pictures on their NBA walls of fame.

The pitch there is that those guys probably don't go to the NBA without the development they got at GU.

If the staff can get them into the NBA, they can help improve his draft status as well.

Can't be an "official" until his senior year.

I'm pretty sure strawther is coming the same weekend on an official and he's also a junior.

[GuZag2012]

Awesome news...Strawther & Suggs would be great additions to the Zags. I live in Minnesota & have seen Suggs play numerous times and he would be a great fit for Gonzaga!

For D1 men's basketball, recruits can begin taking official visits starting January 1 of their junior year of high school...

We play BYU tomorrow.

That's what I thought. Can't sign letter of intent until senior year, but can visit and verbally commit. I think it's a good sign he's visiting, and hopefully it means he's leaning towards basketball only and not football also.

you're right. my bad

+ Julian Strawther = Best Ever Class

So possible 2020 class of Dominic Harris, Jalen Suggs, Julian Strawther and Oumar Bhallo
+
2019 class of Brock Ravet, Anton Watson, Drew Timme, Pavel Zhakarov, Martynas Arlauskas

Dawning of the Golden Age of Gonzaga hoops: elite U.S. talent w elite international talent. Besides the great hoops team this recruiting would yield, I think about what a great experience for these young men to learn about and befriend peers from such different cultures and backgrounds.

Man, that 2020 class would be our best ever and possibly top three or four in the nation!

Wow I was off the grid yesterday and had heard rumblings that Suggs was going to visit soon, but did not hear it would be the same weekend as Strawther. What a massive day for Gonzaga!! I would not be shocked if both committed shortly after this from what I have been hearing. Both love Gonzaga and pair them with Harris and the 2019 class all I can say is WOW!!

[thespywhozaggedme]

Suggs and Geno are both from Minneapolis. Gotta think that Geno will speak to Jalen.

I am sure they will have Geno talk to him. I think the fact that him and Strawther are here the same week speaks volumes to were we are in both their recruitment. I would not leave it out of the question to see Harris show up the same weekend too.

What is our plan for a PG with this group? By committee? Ravet?

Just genuinely curious, in the scenario that Gonzaga does sign all these players.

I suspect Suggs would be the leading candidate as the primary guard but a sophmore Ravet & Harris would share in some of the duties.

But man if everyone from 2019 returns and they add a Harris/Suggs/Strawther/Ballo class in '20, that would probably be the most raw talent in GU program history.
