Wow. They could very well compete for the championship again next year. Few is due for one.

Re: Chet Holmgren Nation's #1 recruit
Isn't Kwame Evans son #1 in the 2023 class? or close to it?
Few landed a pair of 5 stars in the last week, but getting the consensus #1 player in the nation is truly incredible. It wasn't all that long ago he was getting almost exclusively rural WA area kids and international dudes

Now maybe America's Greatest Coach can actually win, you know, a national championship.

Re: Chet Holmgren Nation's #1 recruit
The irony of course is that Few seems like a very likable guy and he certainly has accomplished a tremendous amount piloting a small school from a pretty smallish conference. His is exactly the type of story that makes college basketball great. Why couldn't The Dude have latched onto Calipari?
Worth noting of course that Tommy Lloyd has moved on to Arizona. It will be interesting to see if Gonzaga experiences a drop-off without him over the next 3-5 years.

Agreed on Few. But kind of hard to take seriously the over the top rhetoric of "America's Greatest Coach" when there are five coaches who have won multiple NCAA titles since Few took over at Gonzaga and 14 different coaches who won at least one title while he has none.
It will be interesting to see what effect the departure of Lloyd has. Surely "America's Greatest Coach" won't miss a beat lol.

Re: Chet Holmgren Nation's #1 recruit
When Few's career is finally over, he will with John Wooden, occupy half of the Rushmore of college Men's Coaches.
The other two will be up for debate. We are witness to the first half of one of the greatest careers in the history of the sport, and the only one done entirely at a tiny school. Historic.

GWRising, there is no point in saying that it's hard to take seriously the rhetoric behind "America's Greatest Coach." Nobody takes it seriously. Am fairly convinced that even The Dude does not take it seriously.

Re: Chet Holmgren Nation's #1 recruit
Well, I was referencing Rushmorian College Coaches.
Red, would have bust #,1 expanding to the sport of hoops generally.
