@cameronsalerno1@mcmc5151@CBSSportsCBB Huff being in contention for the last spot on your list is exactly the issue man lmao. I’m taking him over almost everyone in your top 10.
@Chad33234163638@GaryParrishCBS@CBSSports 1) Gonzaga has the second most tournament wins of any program since 2015
2) Gonzaga just finished the longest Sweet 16 streak in modern tournament history
3) Gonzaga just moved conferences
4) You can’t wear that hat and call yourself a ball knower I’m sorry
@DustyMayHOF@leggoshero@MattNorlander Fair, but GU is one of the best developmental programs in the country. I don’t think all of them reach their ceilings next year, but I think they all take a significant leap.
@DustyMayHOF@leggoshero@MattNorlander We’re not done in the portal and I’d argue that the top 5/6 of this team with MSS, Fogle, Huff, Diop, Kayil, and Harwell compares favorably to other projected top-10 teams if they all reahx their ceilings. Kayil, Harwell, Diop, MSS and Fogle are legit pro prospects, too.
@Diehard_johnny Gonzaga has the second most NCAA tournament wins since 2015, only trailing Duke. You’re right, players who go to Gonzaga are built differently. Great point.
@newyorkgrooovee Not sure where you’re getting this from. It’s more that a decent portion of Gonzaga basketball fans are also WSU football fans. Most Gonzaga fans view UW as the devil incarnate.
@CoolBreslin81@itstheg_man@JonRothstein Nobody said Pitino wouldn’t be able to develop him lmao. But Gonzaga has one of the best reputations in the sport of basketball for developing NBA-level bigs, whether they were “already good or not.” You think Kelly Olynyk would have a 13-year career without going to Gonzaga?
@mmonch26@UnitedWeZag The St. John’s fanbase sentiment on X suggesting that Diop only picked GU because of an agent reveals a certain type of collective arrogance and delusion that I wasn’t aware was prevalent amongst your fanbase. Now I know lol
@AB_poll_@JoeTipton@On3@ZagMBB@BarstoolZaga@LockedOnZags HOF coach, similar NIL money, playing for a program with history of winning, playing for a program with a reputation for developing NBA bigs, a chance to play for a team that should be a preseason top-10 team - just to name a few.
@MrQB07@big_takes@billymcnic@JonRothstein He has several dudes in the league right now that were either unranked or 3-star recruits coming into college lmao. Kispert, Olynyk, Rui, etc.
@HurleyMania Zags would’ve been a second weekend team this year with a healthy Huff in my opinion. With an influx of money coming from the conference change, I wouldn’t count the Zags out just yet.
