2021 - Kaden Perry Verbal Commit

[jazzdelmar]

Nothing close to a one-and-done. He’s probably a 4-year player. I doubt we see him on the floor anymore than we see Pavel as a freshman. My guess is he might see Timme minutes as a junior. All this idle speculation, contingent on how he develops and the needs of the team. He is not currently a plug and play talent like either Timme or Watson.

Dose of reality. Thanks. Care to speculate on other superstar recruits?

[Zagdawg]

The amount he sees the floor will depend on who is here with him. If a top 100 recruit barely sees the floor -- it means we will have a good number of very good bigs in front of him -- so that is a good thing.

Suggs is a starter, and a high level one at that. Love the other two but big contributions probably come in year two unless we require them immediately (expect the staff to have an eye open for one grad transfer - combo guard is preferred). Expect to see a big jump from Watson next year.

[zag67]

And also if that happens, think of all the practice time he is getting with really good big players. This will enhance his future at GU and on into the pros. It gets to be like Brandon when he transferred and had a year to practice against other super bigs that has improved him to the point of being a solid big in the pros.

Sounds more accurate to me!

Maybe a bizarro Gonzaga effect after all these years.

It's weird to see their rankings go up.

Kaden in a regional game currently in progess at Mark Morris. Halftime 27 - 27 vs Inglemoor, Kaden leading all scorers with 12.

Video - lob, catch and dunk: https://twitter.com/MegWochnick/stat...264078849?s=20


ETA: Battle Ground beats Inglemoor 72 - 57, Kaden has 31.

[23dpg]

Battle Ground wins 72-57.

Kaden with 31 points.

I think they have to win one more game to make it to State.

[23dpg]

Looks like they did indeed qualify for state. They play on Wednesday.

Looks like Kaden finished with 26 points, but it wasn't enough as Battle Ground eliminated.

[Zagdawg]

26 pts 16 boards -- they lost to Federal Way 78-57.

This guy may have the highest ceiling of anyone coming in. That's Brandon Clarke athleticism with a big body. Once he gets college coaching and training, this guy could be insane.

The most impressive part of the video to me is when he misses the lay-up but grabs the rebound as it comes off the rim and dunks it. He was back up off the floor on that 2nd jump fast.

Crazy. You don't see very many HS kids operating above the rim like this, not matter the competition.

[JPtheBeasta]

His movements look so much like Brandon Clarke to me.

[HenneZag]

He has that Brandon Clarke athletic ability. If he can channel that during high level competition and develop the rest of his game within the ZAG system we have alot to look forward to

[Malastein]

Is it just me or does Kaden Perry have longer arms than Clarke?

Already taller than Clarke. Looks like he will be a fair amount bigger than Clarkes 210 or whatever he weighed too.
