Jalen Suggs

I think we were in early on both basketball and football but then someone told him Iowa was a wrestling school and the rest is history....

Yes. Iowa offered him after his frosh year. I'm not so sure KF didn't offer shortly after for football.
Iowa offers a lot of players they have no chance at getting. It is good to be "in" though.
 
No longer a fan as appeared to be a real douche on the court IMO. But, very talented.
 
Maybe he doesn't like his aggression and is his ability to know what he can get away with. He was floppy sometimes and chippy, but if you can get away with it and you know it, why not?
I guess. He plays exactly like more than a few guys on our team play. And when you play like he did today as a freshman against the #3 team in the country... Nothing but respect from me
 
Did he take over player of the year from Luka?

No. Garza just dropped a 13-18 30 point 10 rebound game on the number one team in the nation. At this point if Garza doesn't drop 30 it is almost an off game. If he averages 20 plus through the B1G again he is a lock.

The amazing thing about Luka is his 30 points are so quiet.
 
The block was all foul. In slow motion it didn't appear he touched the ball. He hit the arm hard enough to have the player dunking it lose control of the ball.

The pass after the no call foul was phenomenal. I can't argue that part.

Seems close to me.. if his hand starts to knock the ball before making contact with the arm, is it still a foul?

Don’t look at the ball. Watch the contact around the elbow area. Riley’s arm literally moves sideways which causes the ball to jar loose. I needed Gonzaga to win $$$ but a foul is a foul.

The gophers would be a pretty good team if they could keep their instate talent - Suggs and Hurt from Duke I think he led the ACC in scoring.

It wasn't a foul, nor goaltending. Riley's arm goes sideways because he was holding the ball and after Suggs hit the ball, his hands squeeze together because there's no ball to hold. No goaltending because even with his hand in the net, the ball wasn't in or on the cylinder for the net to interfere with.

He hit below the ball first. Not sure how you can’t see that but whatever.

From behind it looks a little like there might be a possibility of a very slight amount of contact. The basket view, along with the other view from the front on the broadcast, it wasn't close to contact. It was a great block.

Interesting factoid that was reported on during a tournament segment while the Zags were playing in the Round of 32, Jalen Suggs sought out Mark Few and the Zags. Few was not even recruiting Suggs. Just goes to show it is about the Coach and the program he has built and not the location of the program.
 
If you put all the players that we were in on early but didn't get on one team, they would be a pretty representative national championship team.
 
Early in the season, I said that I thought Suggs was the best true freshman guard I have ever seen. I have seen most of 3 Gonzaga games and parts of a couple of others. When he is locked in against competitive teams, he is the most complete freshman guard I can remember seeing in about 60 years of watching college basketball. I only saw parts of two Ok St games, and maybe Cunningham wasn't at his best, but I have no doubt who I would pick if I had the first pick in the NBA draft.
