We have had our eye on him and been in contact with both him and Suggs (they are teammates). Although I believe he is 2021 not 2020 unless he is reclassifying and I am not sure of it.

Wow. Looks like a young Collins.

In the last 247 updates they have Chet all the way up to #6 in the composite rankings and #4 in the 247 rankings. Would be a great get for the Zags!

Yep 4 on 247, and 7 on both Rivals and ESPN. He is really shooting up the rankings.

And GU pretty low on his list at the moment.

The kid wants to stay local. Upper midwest. Think MN, Purdue, Marquette, Iowa, et al.

Then again, he is only going into his Junior season, and still young, so a lot could change b/w now and then...

At least there is mutual interest, and wonder if Suggs chooses us, could help our case.

Chet Holmgren cuts list to seven schools, talks G League option

Article on Chet / the game. Also, be sure to watch the interview video as well, worth the watch.

Where could Chet Holmgren land in college?
The native from Minnesota plays high school basketball at Minnehaha Academy outside Minneapolis and is down to seven potential colleges: Gonzaga, Minnesota, Ohio State, Michigan, North Carolina, Memphis and Georgetown. Holmgren told Yahoo Sports he’s planning on making his college announcement sometime mid-season in either January or February.

His former high school teammate, Jalen Suggs, is playing at Gonzaga this season and is a projected lottery pick in the 2021 NBA draft. The Zags, Minnesota, Ohio State and Michigan are the favored schools. “It’s all about fit. You don’t want to go somewhere where they have to change the whole offense to accommodate you or change the defense,” Holmgren told Yahoo Sports. “So I’m just looking at where I fit with the coaching staff, the players on the team and my peers at the school.”

This is a must watch. Skinny as he is, Holmgren is simply unbelievable.

He's stated specifically he knows he is going to visit Gonzaga.

He has multiple offers from all around the country and many of his visits already have been to places outside of the Midwest.

Based on his social media, he seems to be extremely open minded to going anywhere in the country based on the best fit for him and play for a coach that doesn't put him in the box of playing center because he is a 7 footer.

Elite Minnesota kids almost never stay in the upper Midwest. They've gone to places like Kansas and Duke. If we can join these powerhouse programs and start a pipeline with some elite Minnesota talent, we would be much better off for it. Underrated talent and overwhelmingly guys that play the right way. Sam Dower and Geno Crandall were hopefully just the beginning...

Are you sure you aren't possibly confusing Walker Kessler with Chet Holmgren? I've noticed a couple posts and posters discuss them interchangeably and mix them up before.

Walker stated specifically he knows he is going to visit Gonzaga, yet haven't heard Chet say those words.

I'd be elated and pleasantly surprised if he did though.

don't take the 247 interest list as a ranking or anything else-- it's generally not very accurate or complete (much less definitive), and is only coarsely ordered. for the majority of recruits, the list starts with a bunch of local schools because they tend to see people first, get involved in recruiting earlier, are more likely to receive unofficial visits or otherwise have a relationship through camps whatever, and tend to be focused in the local press writeups/blogs/forums.

heck, we've had people take official visits and commit in the past without ever even showing up on their interest list.

eta: i made an assumption about your source above-- my apologies if i was wrong, but if so please do let us know where you got that info.

Based solely on 247.

As much chatter as I've heard regarding Suggs and GU, I haven't heard the same about Chet and GU. He gave us a shout out on Twitter for being offered, yet has done the same for others as well.

Mark Few has been to Minnesota numerous times to watch them both play, and Chet has listed us in numerous interviews, along with Kansas, and 6 or 7 others.

I've also never heard Chet say he would be visiting us. I hope to hear/read that soon.

He is a 2021 recruit, so much can change and/or develop b/w now and then

Per Jake Weingarten, Chet is going to be joining Jalen Suggs, Dom, Julian and Walker Kessler for an official at Kraziness in the Kennel on 10/5. That is a blueblood level recruiting visit if I’ve ever seen one!

That would be one heck of a starting lineup. This has to be the biggest visit ever for GU.
