While this year’s freshman class does not yet have a calling card nickname like last year’s Tricky Trio, it’s impossible to ignore how incredibly talented and valuable Chet Holmgren, Kaden Perry, Nolan Hickman and Hunter Sallis will be in a Zag uniform.
Prior to Holmgren’s committal, Sallis was the highest-rated recruit to choose Gonzaga according to 247Sports and is the 20th overall player in his high school class. He is the first five-star basketball recruit to come out of Nebraska where he earned the Gatorade Player of the Year award.
The McDonald’s All American joins Holmgren as the confirmation that Gonzaga has matched the pedigree of blue bloods with his signing.
