Chet Holmgren, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2021, has officially committed to the Gonzaga Bulldogs. He will join No. 6 Hunter Sallis and No. 53 Kaden Perry (and possibly No. 72 Fanbo Zeng if he reclassifies) for one of Gonzaga’s most hyped recruiting classes in school history.
You will read writers refer to Holmgren as the unicorn prospect, and that is largely true. He has phenomenal length and has been called by many national recruiters as the best shot-blocker they have ever seen at the high school level. In addition to his already elite-level rim protection, Holmgren is not a traditional seven-footer with the ball in his hands.
