At the risk of derailing this thread. Why is gonzaga considerd a top offer?

If you get offered by a program that has made 17 straight NCAA tournaments, you're pretty good.

Gonzaga is nothing compared to UConn. I don't consider them a top offer at all.

It doesn't matter what you think is a top offer though unless you're the one getting offered

Whatever I just don't understand how a team that's never been to a F4 can be considered a top offer.

they are consistent top 25 program. Not every team can be a blue blood. Most men's fans would consider them a top offer, you have your opinion too. Let's get back to the thread subject.

nice to hear that KO has a connection with his father

This is going to start happening a lot more frequently. The guys he's played with in the NBA are starting to have kids around the college age.

 

[dennismenace]

Quite an endorsement of KO by Thurl Baily.

 

[James]

if he can put the ball in the rim like his pops!




really want bailey, on my wish list with alterique gilbert.

 

[UChusky916]

Seems like we've got a good shot with him. Especially liked how he mentioned that KO would be important in bridging the distance home and, because of that, distance would not be a factor.

Any word from you insiders? @Zionn @3uconn @husky99

 

[husky99]

Tos reporter said he loved his visit but wants to take time and a few more visits

 

[3uconn]

Bailey is certainly a player I can't blame for taking time in his recruitment. He committed very early this first time through and in the end his future coach was fired and he de-committed. Want to make the right decision the second time through.

 

[3uconn]

With that being said, we are right at the top of his list.

I am hearing the same

 

[sammydabiz]

Because they are a great program that knows how to identify talent.

Ya...17 straight appearances out of the WCC, that's like congratulating a well-bodied athlete for getting gold in an Special Olympics event.
Only 2 Elite 8's in their lifetime, never sniffing a Final Four, ya they're a great progam.....pause......

We can't complain about AAC membership making it difficult to recruit, and fail to respect what Gonzaga has done out of an even worse conference. 17 straight NCAA appearances is amazing ... Jim Calhoun never got close to that. JC also didn't get past the elite eight until 1999.

I agree. This odd duck is clueless

 

[sammydabiz]

So we are really comparing Jim Calhoun era Big East to the West Coast Conference, good one guy

JC also didn't get past the elite eight until 1999.

Breaking News! It's the year 2015, and we have 5 FF appearances, 4 titles, and a total of 11 Elite8's. Tell me what has Gonzaga done since 1999? That "Great" program of yours has reached the elite8 just once (last year)...., I guess my standards of greatness is little higher than most on this board.

Nobody is comparing Gonzaga to UConn, but if you don't think they qualify as a very good offer you are clueless...they make the tournament every year, E8 last year and will be preseason top 10-15 this year returning Wiltjer and Sabonis.

 

[Brochacho]

Gonzaga only makes the tournament because of their weak conference.
UConn can't make the tournament because of their weak conference.
