Gonzaga Fans Salivate At Thought Of Gordon As A Bulldog

Let’s assume for a second that Drew Gordon wants to stay on the West coast (a reasonable assumption: most of the schools that recruited him heavily out of high school were West-coast schools). Let’s also assume that he won’t want to transfer to another Pac-10 club, since that would mean he’d have to sit out both this year and next.

Who does that leave as the most logical possible destination for Gordon? Gonzaga, of course. SB Nation’s Gonzaga blog Slipper Still Fits notes that Gonzaga has had success with Division-I transfers before and suggests the program pursue Gordon.

I’m not trying to speculate about potential transfers or anything of that sort. However, Gonzaga will for sure have two openings with the graduation of Bouldin and Foster. Instead of trying to find a diamond in the rough in this mediocre 2010 class, why not push hard for a West Coast kid that was ranked in the top 25 for the loaded 08 class. Coming out of high school, Gordon had offers from UCLA, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Kentucky among others. You can reasonably eliminate any Pac 10 teams as potential transfer schools, since that would cost Gordon two years of eligibility. Assuming that Gordon wants to stay on the West Coast, which is reasonable given the fact he is from the Bay Area, what better school is there for a highly talented and athletic post to play at?
