36 days remain...
I don't cover recruiting very much, partially out of a disdain for the way these kids are put on a pedestal at such a young and impressionable age and also because I don't really care when a prospect cuts his list. Unless it's Jabari Parker including BYU in his final five, it's probably not that newsworthy, in my humble opinion. However, when a player commits to a school, that's newsworthy. That's also what just happened an hour or so ago when Jesse Wade committed to Gonzaga.
Wade is a 6' 1", 165lbs junior point guard out of Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah. While he will graduate with the class of 2015, he will take his two year LDS mission before attending college. This effectively puts Wade in the recruiting class of 2017, a class that I was not likely to pay any mind for at least another year.
The Zags already signed a highly touted 2014 point guard in Josh Perkins, so Wade would likely not get much playing time if he was with the 2015 class. By the time Wade arrives, Perkins will be a senior. The Zags appear set at the starting point guard spot for the next eight seasons. That is incredible!
