Anton Watson Commits

[cggonzaga]

He was good as a Freshman and then discovered football. Still a solid High School player. Prep is going to be hard to stop when he and Byrd get back to playing. Look out for Tommy Lloyds kid he is a shooter.

No question. And they’re already the top team in the state.

Richland might give Prep some trouble. They are 9-0 and have Riley Sorn, a senior 7’3" center.

I watched G Prep play here in Yakima yesterday vs Davis HS and I thought Anton Watson looked real good. Versatile player.

are there any future games where he'll match up with div 1 talent?

In the GSL he will have 1 or maybe 2 more against the 6' 9" kid from Uhigh who is going to Idaho. Most likely will run into Richland once or twice they have 1 or 2 D1 kids. Most likely a couple more at the State tourney if Prep moves forward.

Quite a gauntlet. Hope he goes to some select summer camps: Lebron, Nike, et al.

too bad g-prep isn't 3a...state would be fun...wonder if there are any other high major 4a talents...idaho-level doesn't really get one too excited.

Didn't watson go to post falls hs in Idaho and transfer to gonzaga prep?

It would be fun to watch them in the 3A. Most of the top schools in Seattle are glorified AAU teams and run to state will be a meat grinder.

Lives in CDA started at Prep as a Freshman. The ex-hack writer for the Spokesman Greg Lee likes to refer to him as a transfer, but that is because Lee is an Idaho guy.

Would love to see Watson in camp after clinic etc all summer long.

Couple things. I personally think Prep and Richland are the best teams in the state regardless of classification. Ferris isn’t fair behind.

As for Christensen at U-High, he’s pretty legit. Very high motor for a big strong kid and good athleticism. Idaho will probably win the Big Sky this year and it wouldn’t shock me if they won a game in the tournament.

Was at the game last night and yes AW had a pretty easy night going against a 6'4" Soph and 6'9" Frosh (who needs a good year to acclimate to his size) and then CV throwing a bunch of 6'1-2" guys at him. Double teaming left Prep's Jamaari Jones to feast. The game was very easy for AW and he even seemed a bit aloof but he could score at will against the lack of size or experience.
