I took a look at the Gonzaga forums because I had some free time. Sure was refreshing to see almost every poster thank him for his time and wish him well on his transfer instead of melting down and degrading the kid. Of course, it happens everywhere, right? Too many small people on this board....
According to Matt Perrault's Twitter, he has a source telling him that Gibbs has asked for his release from Gonzaga.
I haven't seen him play for Gonzaga. His stats are underwhelming, but he was a redshirt freshman. He's got pretty good size, he was a relatively highly touted kid out of Linn-Mar, and I know Iowa and ISU were both after him.
Should we be after him?
See Dominique Buckley, Cory Johnson, Marcus Brister. All guys that played a similar role to Grant on their team.
If Adam Morrison transferred from Gonzaga the Interweb in Washington wouldn't be wishing him well. It is unfortunate what some people write about college age kids on here sometimes, but don't act like this site is any different than anywhere else.
I would say the situation is more comparable with Colvin leaving. If you were willing to conced that, there are two very seperate levels of respect being paid by the two boards.
I guess I don't understand why we wouldn't have a chance even if he does love McDermott. After the dissapointment of the last years here I would think he would maybe still like Mac but maybe not want to play for him...especially sisce he didn't choose ISU the 1st time around...unless it was all about Mac and not really the university.So much that he didnt come here the first time around. :wink:
From what I have been hearing he will be going to UNI. Might be looking into it too much but it explains why he was tweeting so much about their run in the NCAA tourney.
Mr. Gibbs, is that you?? :biggrin:Think I got a better source and its still very open :wink:
Think I got a better source and its still very open :wink:
He is very good friends with Mahoney...
He absolutely loves Gonzaga so that was pretty much the only reason he went there to begin with.
haha I know you do, that just was what I have been hearing.Think I got a better source and its still very open :wink:
Yeah...Came down to ISU or Gonzaga...If I remember right, even his parents were pulling for ISU.
