Mark Few has built Gonzaga up to the point where they reload like few others. I'm guessing Hunter and Chet Holmgren are both headed to Spokane and they'll probably return Andrew Nembhard, Anton Watson and Julian Strawther at least. Wouldn't be surprised to see Timme go back for another year. Dominick Harris and Ben Gragg are top-100 2020 recruits just getting their feet wet this season and they already have a top-60 2021 recruit committed in Kaden Perry. At this point, Few has earned the benefit of the doubt I'd say.

If I’m a possible one and done guard I don’t know that I care much about their league. I’m going to be far more interested in going to a system that will do things like let me run a bunch of ball screens with elite level spacing. It feels shortsighted to me that more elite guards don’t end up at Gonzaga.

No question that Gonzaga is now an elite program that appears frequently on various networks, with a great coach. However, the big question for most five star recruits that Gonzaga has actually not gotten very many of until the last several years - do I really want to go to a shit hole town like Spokane, and be isolated from family and friends with not anything to do? I have been to Spokane a few times on business and it is truly a very bleak and depressing town. Omaha is definitely a way more happening place and where he can play in front of family and friends. With him on our team next year, his chances for playing on a great team and getting significant national coverage for raising his draft stock for the NBA are about the same. Thus, to me, if Hunter were my son, I would tell him to commit to Creighton, even if I were a grad from another college.

I agree, I've been to Eastern Washington a few times. The place is miserable. Since he is a one and done, anyway he might as well stay in Omaha - he would be an instant starter in a better conference.

Fortunately for him Hunter has been to Spokane and can judge for himself whether he can see himself going there for college.

Oh no Jacob he's much better off taking it from us and our very unbiased opinions. Even after being there.

Sounds like Oregon and UCLA are out. Still don’t think Jays get him but if playing in front of family and friends proves critical then it’s Jays or Kansas.
