@2:17 they have this Jay Bilas quote on the wall: “They go to school. They do their homework. They shake hands. They say please and thank you. But once you throw that ball up, they will rip your heart out and watch you bleed.” How's this for a stat to prove it: these are the last 6 players to be first-team all-americans in D1 men's basketball while also being first-team academic all americans in men's basketball: 2002: Dan Dickau, Gonzaga 2004: Emeka Okafor, UConn 2009: D.J. Augustin, Texas 2013: Kelly Olynyk, Gonzaga 2017: Nigel Williams-Goss, Gonzaga 2021: Corey Kispert, Gonzaga
@@younggoose7315 Rui Hachimura did the work of learning English after growing up with Japanese. I tried to cross that language barrier but noped out back to Spanish during drop-add week my freshman year 😆 He did have a tutor. She could not have done the work for him if she had wanted to do so because Rui really wanted to learn.
As a GU alum his answer for top 5 guys IN THE LEAGUE was awful, and I assume he misunderstood the question. Burgess is still considered a GOAT for the GU program but didn't have an NBA career. Saying Brandon Clarke before Sabonis!!!, or even Olynyk at this point? Ammo's NBA career was a bust, but he at least got 2 rings on the Laker bench. A realistic top 5 NBA Zags of All time is 1) Stockton 2) Sabonis 3) Kelly Olynyk 4) Ronny Turiaf 5) Rui Hachimura. Clarke is probably 6 with room to pass Turiaf.
Not an alumnus, but I started being a huge fan halfway through the 98-99 season. I got to see a few games in the old kennel and then our fam got season tickets to the MAC. I had the same 5 as you with Clarke as a 6th. Probably going to be a whole different answer a year from now!
Gonzaga has about 7500 students compared to about 15000 for Duke. Gonzaga's endowment is about 3.6% the size of Duke's, though. Gonzaga's home court was designed to be a modern version, more open version of Cameron Indoor but seating about 6000 instead of 9000. UK and UCLA. Duke's endowment is 5 times bigger than Kentucky's, with Kentucky having twice as many students. UCLA has about 3 times as many students as Duke, but not quite 2/3rds the endowment size.
Spokane has zero money and zero corporate sponsorship opportunity. No history. Gonzaga basketball may end up with a National title, but who really cares.
This is great! We got tot get that championship to make it complete. We would have gotten it in 2019. We will claim that if we can't get real one. This year we have as good a shot as anyone. OR we could lose the first game. It's been that kind of year. Saturday, against St. Mary's, should give us a pretty good idea of where we stand.

Easy when you got tutors that do the work for you

Don’t forget about Richie Frahm 🤔
I’d say Richie Frahm is my top pick that’s just me tho
@@justinfrahm4154 I won't until senility. But without knee injuries, Blake Stepp and Adam Morrison would have lit up the NBA a LOT more, too.
Yeah, Sabonis has to be on the list.
You guys HAVE to do Arizona next
Go Zags!! Spokane on the map.
Sadly this is true. Not for the right reasons though.
I’ve actually been to McCarthey Athletic Center for a game. It’s not huge, but it’s pretty cool.
What a banger video!
Gotta remember Gonzaga is like 1/15 the size of duke,uk. UCLA etc etc

@@johnwright3710 definitely way worse areas around the country n yes Gonzaga is in Spokane but the campus definitely isn’t a dump
I don’t disagree about the campus. It’s more the institution That is the problem.
