2021 - Chet Holmgren

[GonzaGAW]

- my hope is chet does not make his decision until end of his school year
- and jalen lays down a challenge to chet, "see i won a ncaa title with gonzaga, betcha you can't do the same"

[WallaWallaZag]

i'm pretty comfortable with holmgren, but can't help but wonder with suggs blowing up...would chet possibly not want to be seen as following in jalen's footsteps?
holmgren's a unicorn so there really shouldn't be anything there, but maybe he gets tired of answering jalen questions...

Mabe he wants to tell everyone, Hey I am better than Jalen, so I am going to Gonzaga and prove it.

He's about as accurate as you can hope for!

While I think we will get Chet, Branham is pretty well known for changing his picks right before a player declares. Like an hour or two or less.

i hate that...they should disallow any changes made within something like 24-48 hours of a commitment...maybe even 1 week.
it's easy to be accurate when you are changing your picks at the last minute all the time.

I don't see why Chet wouldn't come here. Same with Hunter.
Whatta team we might have next season.

For those that like 247 Crystal Ball predictions and have been as excited about Chet as I have been. Eric Bossi has predicted Chet to the zags, the second person to do so.

And now Jerry Meyer too - that's 3 for 3!

Was there ever any doubt in your mind that Holmgren was not going to be a Zag ? Now as far as Salis is concerned it is my understanding that the Zag brass was always confident in him coming here. It was the so called experts that kept saying Salis was going to Kentucky or North Carolina. These experts just can't come to terms that these top players would rather come to Gonzaga than one of the big boys. Well believe it Mr. Experts, the Zags are now one of the big boys, whether you want to believe it or not.

And interesting that most of Brandon Jenkin's CB predictions were made within a day of a commitment.

Most are day of predictions, probably really helps his percentage.

I could swear that I saw somewhere that Chet was planning on making his decision in January, but maybe that is just wishful thinking.

[Hogan]

Nah, I don't want him. If he were to sign with Gonzaga all we would hear about is he is the highest recruit the Zags have ever gotten. (Tongue firmly in cheek.)

[webspinnre]

Most are day of predictions, probably really helps his percentage.

This is something I see a whole lot of. Wait until day of or day before, when everyone else has already reported the decision, and jump on the bandwagon. Ta da! Excellent prediction percentage!

Never mind, 5 now!

[scrooner]

5 picks in 7 days......seems like we should be hearing something in the next couple of days.

"After weeks of being close to entering a Crystal Ball pick for#Chet Holmgren, it is now time. Quite simply, there appears to be no real scenario in which Holmgren doesn’t end up making his way to Gonzaga for his college basketball."

Not much new here, but more of an article re-cap of the interview that PHX posted yesterday:

No. 1 2021 recruit Chet Holmgren will choose a college
