While flipping the channels around this weekend, I happened upon a Gonzaga game up here in Washington. I've always been a fan of their hustle and the great coaching of Mark Few, so I stopped to watch for a bit. I was mostly following Matt Bouldin who looked solid last year and I was also curious to see if the Freshman Austin Daye would get some burn. Austin almost went to my Alma mater ASU and I was wondering what my Devils would be missing. I had heard that he was lighting up summer leagues in LA and after watching him for a while, I can see why. While he is SUPER skinny and has tunnel vision a bit, his fearless attitude on offense is surprising for a Freshman. He can handle at 6'9/6'10, has good range on his J, can get up and down the floor quickly, has freakishly long arms which leads to blocks and steals and he plays with fire. As you can tell, I came away impressed and I will be keeping an eye on this kid for the remainder of what may be his only year at Gonzaga.
