Am I missing something here? And I am really talking out of school here. I realize he is skilled and would probably rip up college ball as a freshman. But he will be pushed and shoved around with ease in the NBA until he puts on about 40 pounds of muscle, won't he? He is a rail. I dunno, there's some guy on the floor for the Bulls that looks a lot like his body type.

The pro route involves going straight to the G league as players have to be 19 before they can be drafted. He would get at least $500k for going to the G league, and some believe he might even have an offer closer to $1 million. Chet has gone on record saying he wants to play in college, but he still hasn't committed or signed anywhere so he could still go G league route.

Kevin Durant does alright and he's extremely skinny, and even skinnier after one year at Texas. Very similar skill set coming out of high school, with Chet being stronger defensively. Don't compare him to the Kevin Durant we know now, but other than one is black and the other white they are similar at 18.
 

Kevin Durant couldn't bench 185 one rep at the nba combine. Can't believe the seattle supersonics wasted a pick on him. He was such a big bust that he took the whole team down with him and their not even a team anymore.

All I really remember about Humphries that year was when they got the ball to him down low, it never was kicked back out.

Used to be jokes about him being the black hole... ball went in, and disappeared never to be seen again. Now, jokes like that would get a person cancelled...

Nope, I was considering dropping my tickets after that season... He was playing strictly for himself.

I thought of Humph’s and that season a lot this year because of Carr. And more specifically the lack of accountability from the head coach.

Carr would take bad shots and be extremely lazy on D for extended periods of time. You can’t let your best player do that as HC. Their job is to figure out how to reach the team, especially it’s best player and “leader”.
 


UNC's Walker Kessler transfers to Auburn. Kessler was rumored to be going to Gonzaga, this leaves the Zags potentially thin down low. Need to keep an eye on Drew Timme if he'll declare for NBA draft or not

I believe they already said Timme will be back.
If Chet wants to play along side an established big doesn’t that exclude the gophers?
 

Gonzaga does have the 5th best Center prospect already committed as well....but im not sure that really hurts their chances with him.....but one can hope!

A guy should always have hope. LLYOD is the best international recruiter on the planet. Few was 98% of the reason on Suggs . They connected on so many levels of value and USA basketball.
 





Not sure how recent this is or whether it really even means anything at all, but I just noticed that Chet is now listed as being 'Warm' towards Minnesota on 247, so hey, that's at least a little exciting, no?

One can dream, one can dream.

So you're saying he would go to Arizona now?
 


Poor Chet. Either go to Gonzaga without his favorite coach, go to Arizona with coach and play on a team that may be a mess....or door #3?

Is this pretty much signed, sealed, delivered Zags? Or are there any rumblings of an outside chance?

Everyone thinks it will be Zags. Please shock us Chet! Zags 80%, G-league 10%, Michigan 4%, ohio state 3%, Minnesota 2%, memphis,Georgetown, unc 1%.
 



Anyone know this info?

In the last 40 years, so since 1981, how many times have we gotten the top recruit in our state?
