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

[NotoriousZ]

I get zero reassurance from this long winded, but short sourced article. Overseas still seems a possibility ...

So.....even though it's very likely he announces Gonzaga tomorrow, it sounds like I'm not going to get the "I was wrong" promised by you until the oversees thing is put to bed. And that's fine, I can wait.

But from this layman's perspective, his long term interests are served best by playing college hoops (for the number one team in the country).

Yup. Until he suits up for the ‘20-‘21 season opener against Our Lady of Bloomingdales Northwest.

This! 6 pm PST

It pretty much all hinges on the Portland outcome now.

This thread cracks me up. There’s certainly two posters who have proven knowledge on recruiting, but if they don’t chime in every so often the roar of speculation increases to the point that the sky starts falling. Then they come back and settle things down with a few people wondering if the the knowledgeable people are less knowledgeable than proven. Such a fascinating cycle!

That was exactly my response when I got on this evening. Good grief.

Not sure if it as been posted today, but 247 Crystal Ball has 13 predictions now all pointing to Suggs going to the Zags and not Pro. I don't usually put alot of faith in 247 but when it is this unanimous they are rarely wrong.

[JPtheBeasta]

He will announce Gonzaga tomorrow.

Good enough for me.


I wanted to reiterate some detective work I did earlier. Points of fact:
1. In the news broadcast the anchor man asked if he was going somewhere close that you can drive to.
2. His coach said you can drive anywhere these days.
3. I did some research and, come to find out, it's nigh impossible to drive across the ocean (I don't know if its the volume of the water, the sinkiness of cars, the lack of gas stations along the way, difficulty with getting google maps out there, or what).

I have thus deduced that he will not be playing overseas.

Now that’s the kind of research I can get behind. Nicely done.

Hey, don't discount them. They are returning 4 starters

If that’s so, Few won’t schedule them.

[Bogozags]

Just heard the latest news cast..."The Sky is Falling!" We are doomed!

Oh, Suggsmas is here and the train is pulling into the station...just not sure of the track it will be on...

[tummydoc]

Unfortunately seems to be on the "look at me" train with this production rather than the "team train". I'm loosing interest every week. Wonder if he'll be able to play selflessly within the system or not.

[GrizZAG]

Is Suggs the end all talent really? I know he’s a great athlete but we’re expecting a Seth Curry or Peyton Pritchard it seems. Is he that level type player? I hope so because I’ve not seen this kind of support for a recruit before that I can recall. This borders on obsession. Can he live to OUR hype?

This you’re first noticing?

[Zagdawg]

He is a solid leader who is a team player-- if you have not been following and watching him you would not be familiar with this -- please do not be making stuff up on his commitment day.
