Weekly Zag Briefing

Good stuff all around this week as several recruits were acknowledged for their play, and we were gifted several video interviews with a handful of Zags for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

• Gonzaga put some figurative distance between it and USF over at Mid-Major Madness’s WCC Power Rankings after last weekend’s win over USF.

• Drew Timme and Anton Watson were nominated for a place on the 2019 McDonald’s All-American rosters.
• After the USF game on Saturday night, Rui Hachimura and Brandon Clarke did fun, rapid fire interviews with SI Kids reporter Max Bonnstetter wherein we learn that Clarke is the best Fortnite player on the team and Rui correctly answers that Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
