2021 Paolo Banchero

[OntZags]

If you had to venture a guess does it speak more to FP returning or PB coming in early?

Me either way.

With Banchero I don't want to get my heart broken, so I'm trying not to think about it.

4 starter bigs for 2 spots? Last time that happened for the zags was karno/williams/collins/tillie. Think we did pretty good that year.

Can I just answer yes to this?

I just re-watched the championship the other day and was shaking my head at how great of a rotation that was.

Crazy to also think about how Rui barely played that year and Norvell redshirted.

What? No way!

One thing I need to say is at this time of the year there are lots of things in the "works" in recruiting and players coming and going. It might not work out and things might not go as planned, but things are looking promising for next year's team!

[ZagsObserver]

Any concerns about guard depth?

Any concerns about guard depth?

Assuming that's to be addressed in the grad transfer market? Adding a veteran into a mostly young backcourt seems like a smart move.

Can I just answer yes to this?

Caldwell -- I trust you were not on the East Coast when you wrote this! I would hate to learn that your birth name was George Plimpton.

[NotoriousZ]

Can I just answer yes to this?

Yes! I’m gonna go ahead and assume that was a yes.

Hey Caldy, things are pretty dead here at the moment. Any updates or other hints that you can share to keep our minds occupied?

On Paolo or transfers or anything really?

So now he's up to 10 schools?
Listen, I get it. It's a tough process for anyone let alone a teenager. It just seems less likely now for Gonzaga.

Well, it aint over til the fat lady sings; however, it appears as though he is branching out and when someone does do that after seeing everything there is to see locally, then it would appear he is looking for something more. AZ does put tons more kids into the NBA - first rounders than does GU and if that is his major concern (getting better prepared for the next level) then looking at AZ might well be the reason he is venturing further away...

This young man could go anywhere and still be a lotto pick so, it is a no brainer for me...either GU, UW, Seattle U, etc. where mom/dad and the entire family could watch games...but then

That’s only true because to this point they’ve had much higher ranked recruits coming in. That is shifting.

[HenneZag]

Banchero will have an offer from all the big boys. I never get too excited until a few months leading up to a possible commitment. It seems it's a rollercoaster ride emotionally with all the high end recruits we go after. AZ has that big name feel but what have they done the last 5 years on a developmental level and as a program...GU has been the better program. Can't fault him for looking just hoping we standout when the dust settles.

[TheOtherGreatOne]

Arizona is the biggest underachieving team in the country year after no matter what players they have. Different players same coach, and Arizona loves him. Can't even win with paying the players. I don't understand why the administration loves him so much.

Even though his list grows, really there are only a few schools he is serious about going to and Arizona is not one of them. Gonzaga is.

[TheOtherGreatOne]

Gonzaga is. That is music to my ears. I really don't care for Miller and his cheating ways.
