The Gonzaga Bulldogs extended an offer to 2019 winger Anton Watson of Gonzaga Prep, in Spokane, Washington. This, in itself, is not the most exciting news.
And that is in no way, shape, or form, a slam against Watson himself. The 6’7 forward/guard recently made USA Today’s All-Washington second-team. He has helped lead the Bullpups to consecutive lead titles and third-place finishes at the State 4A Tournament. He also averaged 19 points last season.
What is truly exciting about this news is where Watson hails from—Spokane. One of the big things that has people constantly a little rankled in Gonzaga-land is that much of the state of Washington top talent goes elsewhere, despite the fact that Gonzaga is the top program in the state.
