Grant Gibbs Transferring from Gonzaga

[mwitt]

According to Matt Perrault's Twitter, he has a source telling him that Gibbs has asked for his release from Gonzaga.

I haven't seen him play for Gonzaga. His stats are underwhelming, but he was a redshirt freshman. He's got pretty good size, he was a relatively highly touted kid out of Linn-Mar, and I know Iowa and ISU were both after him.

Should we be after him?

 

[Knownothing]

yes. WE need players.

 

[Stewo]

I would like to.

 

[isuno1fan]

maybe depending on what other options we are in on

Not flashy, but solid. The kind of player The Mayor would like and who would like playing for The Mayor, IMO.

PS since he already redshirted I think he'd only have two years left. Anyone clarify?

Didn't understand the Gonzaga love fest the first time around...No surprise, IMO.

Wasn't he a big fan growing up?

More than likely, yes.

Certainly no reason to not take a look at this juncture.

Also, I kind of like the idea of players transferring to ISU, instead of away from it.

Yeah...Came down to ISU or Gonzaga...If I remember right, even his parents were pulling for ISU.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

I would assume ISU, Iowa, and UNI will all be interested in him.

I gotta think that we would be in the driver seat now. Especially, with Booz leaving.

Was that the final two? I couldn't remember. I just remember Iowa, ISU, and Gonzaga. He lives in Hawkeye country, so I didn't know if he had strong allegiances there.

I'm pretty sure...Only reason I remember is because I heard his parents offered him a new car to go to ISU and he chose the Zags.

want to be fair here - Jon Miller was first with this : Grant Gibbs leaving Gonzaga? - HawkeyeNation Forum

From one link I found, he dropped Iowa & UW off his list first, before choosing GU over ISU.

That story also refers to him being "one of the top PG's in 2008 class" -- anyone recall how highly touted he actually was at the time?

 

[CloneLawman]

I would think Creighton is in the driver seat. They are the best team around, right Matt? And I mean with their glorious new coach, how could Gibbs not want to be a Bluejay? Room on the roster?

I thought this Gibbs news was out last week? Maybe its now just "official" He has already redshirted so would only have 2 years left, unless it was medical. Anyone know if he's friends with Marcus Paige?
