HERE COMES KONG!!

  Bol_happy_medium

During my time at Gonzaga, I wouldn't have necessarily classified myself as a lover of philosophy. I certainly understood the basics of elementary philosophy, but couldn't really grasp anything beyond on that. However, I think my 4 semesters of philosophy can finally be put to use in this deduction.

Here is a key name from the recent list for the June training camp for the Canadian National team.

10 Bol Kong Forward 6'6 Vancouver, BC Gonzaga University(NCAA)

Previously, Bol couldn't enter the country to play for Gonzaga, because of citizenship issues, and he couldn't be granted a visa. However, Bol clearly couldn't be called up for the Canadian National team to play basketball if he wasn't NOW a Canadian citizen. If Bol is a Canadian citizen, he can clearly enter the United States of America. Therefore, if Bol can enter the United States of American, he can play basketball for Gonzaga University (look at my Gonzaga education at work).

This certainly goes along with what we had been hearing, which was that everything was looking good for Bol, and I wouldn't be overly surprised to see him here in late June for the second session of summer school. What I do know is this is the most definitive news I have seen publicly on the status of Bol, and I think we can start preparing to finally see Bol in a Gonzaga uniform, after over a year of speculation.

While I didn't mention it earlier, it's also important to note that Rob Sacre was invited to this training camp as well. Congratulations to both Bol and Rob on their invites.

Hmmm!

EDZ,

I didn’t get that class at WSU but because of my age, I should get credit for understanding your deductions. Thats great news! Always been one to wait for the ball to go thru the net before counting the score but this to me is pretty close.

I didn't realize he was built like that too...

He might see some serious minutes at the 3…maybe even the 4 if we have to go small…

Absolutely

If and seemingly when Daye leaves, Kong is going to play some major minutes as a 3/4. I’d expect Kong and Elias Harris to see a majority of the minutes there along with Poling at the four and obviously Bouldin or Gray at the 3.

The dream recruiting class seems to be complete.

Don't do this to me!

BZ,

I hope you meant Matt and Steven at the 2? It’s bad enough reading my bottles of Med’s and hoping they got the dosage right but please don’t put Matt at the 3, it’s just killing me, LOL! Any news on how Andy’s doing? I haven’t talked to his Dad since Andy got to GU. I just hope he gets over this medical issue and they’re able to keep him healthy, he’s a good kid.

Lots of guards

Because of the youth, your going to see quite a bit of Matt at the SF position I think. Matt has the versatility to play the 1,2,3 and I think Steven will get a lot of looks at the 2 with Manny and Grant also getting time at the 2-3. It’s going to be very interesting to see how Coach Few puts together the rotations and it is definitely going to take some time to get it all figured out.
