Gonzaga fans got their first shot to check out the new look team this evening as the Bulldogs hosted their annual "Kraziness in the Kennel". EDZ and I were unable to attend for the first time in a number of years but there has already been a bunch of videos and articles written about the event so just figured that we would compile them all here for you so you don't have to go searching around too much.
From what we've heard the youngsters dazzled all night. Manny Arop and Elias Harris scored in double figures, GJ Vilarino looked like, dare I say, a speedier version of Meech, and Kelly and Sam are coming along. Bol Kong was in street clothes as a result of a little ankle injury he sustained in practice. This year's event was not like last year's with all of the hoopla surrounding it. The lack of ESPN involvement probably had a lot to do with it as did Jeremy Pargo's graduation who was kind of the ring leader when it came to past versions of Kraziness. Anyways, here's a collection of tidbits from the event. We'll continue updating the list as things come our way.
