Corey Evans at Rivals:

I'd say there's an 85-percent chance that Suggs will be running the show for the Zags next season."

Corey Evans at Rivals:

"He is college-bound unless something unforeseen happens. Yes, Jalen Suggs has continued to investigate the professional path, but Gonzaga should still expect to have him on campus in the fall.

For one reason or another, Suggs never had the options or college interest that many others like him usually do. Whether it was because of his exploits on the football field or that some believed that he would skip college and play professionally, the end result is Mark Few’s biggest recruiting win to date.

I'd say there's an 85-percent chance that Suggs will be running the show for the Zags next season."

There is not one sentence in the above quote that I have not felt comfortable saying/thinking for months. Caldwell has been all over this. We still need to keep our fingers crossed but all looks good.

Indeed, this is exactly what you and Caldwell have been saying for months. Haven’t seen this at all from the national guys.

I can’t stress this enough: The good National guys know a lot about a lot of players BUT they don’t know the details and every in and outs of most recruitments as they follow way too many players. As such, for me, when it becomes apparent that somebody on a board or in the media knows true intricate details, that is the only guy I really pay much attention to. In this case, I know for a fact that Caldwell and I have had a better source on this than most anyone could possibly have. I’m not saying Suggs is assuredly a Zag (and I have never said that before) but nothing has changed my stance thus far. Things still look very good for the Zags right now.

Thanks for the updates. All the drama aside, I would would be happy every time with an 85% chance on getting a player of Suggs' caliber. (And having Dom Harris, who seems to be fantastic player, in the wings helps ease some of the anxiety)

For sure! I will always chime in with insight when I have it and/or when I feel it ok to go public with info. Yep 85% chance on a top 10 player is something I would also take in every circumstance. Dom and a grad transfer is certainly a terrific plan b if need be. Heck, we are having another dream season and this team was essentially patchworked together in July.

What are the signing dates for the NLI? I guess he could still sign, and go over seas as an NLI wouldn't govern international agreements.

Just saying, maybe the terrible virus outbreak is a help. Would certainly think Asia is off the table.
