Amazing how far Gonzaga has come in 20 years

[basketballzag]

Even Bobzag would be shocked to see how far this program has come.

Who is he?

Jazz ... sources/contacts come and sources/contacts go. Some may retire ... some may go to work at different schools. Some can pop up from out of nowhere and some can stay at GU for decades and decades. Here's what I said during the kid's visit ....

Will Hunter come? Don't know ... but I DO know what I'd said earlier (in the link) is 100 percent true. And I like the Jeremy Jones comment a couple of posts below my linked post (i.e. born to be a Zag). GoZags

Forgot that i had posted the Jeremy comment it was so long ago. I think it speaks to a level of maturity and confidence that this player reached out to the staff. I like that, may make him my favorite zag if he comes. Glad he saw the kennel club in action and his visit went well.

Somewhat encouraged that Koach’s thieving needle nose logo isn’t on the graphic.

I have been trying to guard hurt feelings (about a lot of things) due to the uncertainty of the times, and haven't kept as close an eye as I usually might. I do recall hearing the name before, but never looked him up or anything. He seems like such a high character five star that it's ... wow.

But it's always nice to be a kid's first official visit. I think that says a lot, like "if nothing else, I need to see this particular school." Seems like if his priority is to be near home and have family see him play (always totally understandable) then Creighton or Kansas (lots of questions there) would make sense. If the priority is to make as much money as he can while in college, Kentucky might be a great fit. If the priority is to go with his heart and his head (both of which seem firmly in place) then we are awfully well placed.

He is too mature to not wait and look at all options. If a kid from Omaha went to UCLA in January to look around ... I am not sure how I would turn that down at 18, but I wasn't as mature as a lot of these guys, especially this one. After all, Jazz is "del mar" bc that's usually a nice place to be. Brentwood is awfully close to "del mar" and is a nice neighborhood. Good school, too.

In that neighborhood, I would chose Malibu. Pepperdine is beautiful, somewhat isolated and can match climate with any other SoCal school.

All true.

But UCLA is a better academic school (no offense to Pepp) which might matter to a kid like this, and higher profile.

Maybe our team has come a long way.
in this article picking top 64 college basketball players of all time, zags come up zero.
i did not see John Stockton or Adam Morrison.
