Gonzaga? Isn't it expected that Holmgren is going there?

I saw an article last week about Gonzaga having the best program in college basketball and completely brushed it off as nonsense. This is certainly a bit of hyperbole as the blue bloods have better resumes, but rethinking about it I don't know if anyone has a brighter future than Gonzaga. Since turning Suggs into a likely top 3 pick, they've been at the top of the list for a lot of the best players in high school. I can't imagine them not being a 1 seed in the tourney for as long as Few is there, and likely long after.

Plus, they have no competition in their conference, so they are more or less guaranteed 30+ wins/year

In a real head scratcher, Auburn getting involved in the Burnett sweepstakes.

Still like where we stand in this one. It says a lot that all these schools are trying to get involved. Burnett has a ton of potential

Yeah, they definitely are. My real question though is, if Holmgren is going there, why would Kessler also go there? I thought the reason Kessler was leaving was because he wasn't getting much playing time on UNC. If Holmgren is there, then I see Kessler still being somewhat limited in his minutes.

What's impressive is he only dribbled 5 times to get from basket to basket. What's mind blowing is he only dribbled one time after half court. Once. Without traveling.

Oh he took 3 steps.....but the "new" traveling means as long as you don't take 4 steps it's ok. They might as well change the rule book.
