2nd best XO guy IMO. 20 years ago, Few built GU on local 2-star kids. He did it

so well that he now has the luxury of stockpiling rosters with 4 and 5 star kids from everywhere.

That 1999 team had 9 underrecruited players from Washington and 1 from Oregon. Quentin Hall was from the Bahamas but was recruited out of Juco ball in the Northwest. These guys knew each from the local basketball circuit and as the tier 2 guys that UW, Wazzu, and Oregon didn't want.

1998–99 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team

The 1998-99 Gonzaga men's basketball team represented Gonzaga University during the 1998-99 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by head coach Dan Monson and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

USF and UP return a lot of talent, right?

rggee

9/21/20 7:16am

Whereas SMC will have.....Fotu? Anyone else that contributed a lot last year?

rggee

9/21/20 7:20am

Tommy Kuhse is back for them as well. Matthias Tass was looking really good

jreid191

9/21/20 7:44am

Problem is they have no scorers

puntersarepeople

9/21/20 7:56am

I could see them ending up with 4 or 5 players each averaging 10-15 PPG.

jreid191

9/21/20 8:47am

They’ll evolve some

9/21/20 9:30am

you also have to consider that maybe those guys benefited from all the ...

They will probably rely on slowing the pace down even more than normal

puntersarepeople

9/21/20 11:28am

I was just going to say this. Randy Bennett is a master of having his teams play at a pace that benefits them. I hate

Minlend grad transferred to Louisville.

9/21/20 7:26am

That's right, forgot about that. SMC loses so much though.

9/21/20 7:28am

Pepperdine returns virtually their whole team from last year. If anyone were to

jreid191

9/21/20 7:50am

Pepperdine has a good transfer or two

puntersarepeople

9/21/20 7:57am

Defense is a big question for them. 3rd best team in conference offensively but

jreid191

9/21/20 9:02am

Only 1 senior on the team and no Jordan Ford

astroman

9/21/20 7:20am

No more Ford, Perry?, Fitts, Krebs

rggee

9/21/20 7:23am

I think Fitts declared for the nba? Otherwise he is back

BYU '80

9/21/20 7:32am

Fitts signed with an agent I think he is stuck in the draft at this point.

9/21/20 7:33am

Fitts declared for the draft. I suppose he could still come back

rggee

9/21/20 7:34am

Perry tranferred to UC Riverside

9/21/20 7:45am

Krebs Graduated

9/21/20 7:45am

Did Australia run out of basketball players?

DirtyWater

9/21/20 7:20am

They have Alex Ducas who I think will be a good player

9/21/20 7:49am

No, but wasn't part of their probation that coaches couldn't travel internationally to recruit?

SpiffCoug

9/21/20 8:41am

I'd go Pepperdine #3, SM #4, SF #5, Loyola #6

mokelembembe

9/21/20 7:45am

I have SMC #3, Pepp #4, SF #5, SCU #6, Pacific #7, USD #8, LMU #9

jreid191

9/21/20 9:16am

Yes on Portland at 10, obviously. IMO anyone of USF, Pacific, USD or Santa Clara

9/21/20 11:07am

I think it’s spot on

So is there any unofficial word that basketball season is on?

November 25th is the first day. Schedule is still TBD

Indy Coug

9/21/20 8:30am

Maybe. Pepperdine should be really tough. But SMC does have one of their best

9/21/20 9:17am

Hmm, seems like voters are banking this is the first year ever that Bennett

Bennett had too good of a recruiting class for things to shake out that way.

SinkingQuffa

9/21/20 9:35am

When you lose your top 3 players who were practically everything for the team

Callmepope

I don't disagree w the preseason listing. They've been kind to us, prob.

That's certainly a valid pt.

SinkingQuffa

9/21/20 11:45am

It's also interesting how much they respect BYU's transfers. Normally I

That's how much Ford and Fitts meant to that team. They had nobody else but ...

My guess: BYU wins it all in 2021.
