It's crazy how the Zags just keep reloading. They play in BFE Spokane, in the WCC, in a gym that holds 6,000.

It's crazy how the Zags just keep reloading. They play in BFE Spokane, in the WCC, in a gym that holds 6,000. But they run a 1st class program. Private charter to every single game; the arena is loud & extremely fun. They are the big wheels on campus w/o football. Kids know they'll play in MM every single year. That's extremely tempting.

I think that fans tend to over-emphasize the importance of a strong MBB conference in order to attract quality recruits...
It's not as though Gonzaga has a bunch of NBA stars (one HOFer in John Stockton...plus a few solid contributors like Olynyk and Morrison - before he got hurt) to help recruiting...
Yes...they have been VERY successful in getting to the tourney (18 years in a row!)...but really haven't made a whole bunch of noise once they have gotten there (Elite 8 twice - 1999 & 2015)..despite being an 8 seed or higher 11 of times...
Mark Few is an incredible coach...but so is Steve Fisher...
Their facilities & fan support are not any better than SDSU's...their weather & general overall campus environment is not any better than SDSU's...
So I scratch my head as to why high-caliber recruits / transfers seem to prefer Gonzaga over SDSU...
Not the conference...NBA "training"...tournament success...facilities...coaching...fan support...weather...campus location/environment

The Aztecs have to let the recruits see the best of SDSU. Put more emphasis on the "Undie Run"!

Put more emphasis on the "Undie Run"! without knowing the kids top concerns, we are much more crowded at wing/ perimeter shooters than Gonzaga is, in fact this is our most crowded position. They have also been good for much longer than we have, who knows? My optimistic side tells me that we are one deep run into MM from taking our recruiting to even higher levels. The future is bright for 2016 and beyond, this years team on paper looks as strong as any I can remember. The long, long offseason continues..
