He was going to NC until Roy retired, Maybe Arizona Tommy Lloyd recruited him to Gonzaga , Dark horse here Iowa State really liked them out of HS also.
Fred develops guys for the NBA. There is no question about that. Delano Banton, Bryce McGowens, Georges Niang, Monte Morris. That's a pretty solid track record.
4 guys in 10 years is a 'pretty solid track record'?
can't make this stuff up, folks. there are just some flat-out dipshits around here
Looks like he needs a reboot of confidence offensively. Wasn’t all that impressed the few times I watched him.
Creighton only has one player in the portal, but yeah I have to think several of their bench guys won't be back. Fred King and Mason Miller are really the only two subs they couldn't shake a tree to replace.
Sallis been underwhelming at Gonzaga. But still, he's getting significant minutes at a top 10-ish team. So Creighton would certainly find a spot for Sallis if he's interested. Hell, Fred should personally drive to Spokane and help him load the moving van.
I understand that. That doesn’t really answer the question though. Fred might have no choice but to go after him but can he live up to the hype?
Hes's not leaving Gonzaga to sit on the bench at Creighton, if he wanted to do that he'd just stay at Gonzaga, Gonzaga is a much better program than Creighton obviously, his move is all about playing time, starting......
I didn't say Sallis was coming to Creighton. I said if he was interested, Creighton will find a spot for him and he would get plenty of minutes.
But yeah, if Sallis wants to be THE GUY, he'll definitely go somewhere else.
Scoring-wise, he would not. But he's a good combo guard that Fred could pair with Lawrence.
If Fred puts some talent around Lawrence, I really think he could be an all-conference player. But that's a big if.
Thanks for the answer. I guess that makes you an analyst now. I respect your opinion. I’ve just read too many people critiquing his skills who probably don’t have a clue.
Depends what you mean by hype
He’s not Kevin Durant, but he’s a player who belongs on the court with and against blue blood programs
I can't believe you're actually having to make a case for Nebraska wanting Sallis. We wouldn't be having this debate if there were rumors that Traudt was interested in playing at NU. Has he done anything to live up to the hype? Do we think he can score? But because Few hasn't made Sallis part of the offense at Gonzaga and relies on him to be the primary guard defender... what... he's no good? What a joke.
His offensive ball skills need to be developed. He dominated in high school due to pure athleticism. Kid can jump out of the gym and has great length. Fred told him he reminded him of Demar Derozan out of high school.
Good Lord…if Nebraska gets him he’ll play every minute. Is this really being questioned on this thread?
I’m no Sallis fan as I thought he was wildly overrated and the 2nd best player on his high school team, but the kid can play, especially for freaking Nebraska.

That's pretty much where I am. I doubt Gonzaga will really miss Sallis, but my God look at NU's roster. If Fred can grab some players better than Sallis out of the portal, that would be fantastic. But I'll believe that when I see it.
Him leaving really surprised me. He was playing 20 minutes a game as a sophomore and played a lot during crucial games. Gonzaga is a great program. I will say I think he was really over rated at M North. He's a good player but not a 5 star. Creighton has to be the #1 contender
Some of us have never seen him play and have read repeatedly on this board how he wasn't a good offensive player.
Yea, I was surprised too, figured he be starting next year for the Zags..
Wouldn’t mind seeing him go to Creighton.. Don’t think he has any interest in the Sker’s..
I'm no expert but have watched him play numerous times. It seems pretty clear to me that he's been a good soldier and has focused on doing the things that Few has asked him to do. Gonzaga hasn't asked him to score. He handles the ball, plays defense, and can get to the hoop and kick to the corner. He's just not anywhere close to the focus on offense with Gonzaga, and that's probably a big reason why he's leaving. I admire him for being a 5-star that has seemingly played his role with zero attitude for two years. It's rare.
And that still means he’d be good to great at Nebraska. We‘re talking Nebraska.
He would be the highest rated recruit to ever go to NU. He would be the best player NU has had in 20 years. He would average 10 points a game and playing in the g league in 3 years. He is not going to NU. Just like Joe Burrow never was
Few clearly doesn't see him as one and his stroke doesn't look as it did at MN.
What does being skinny have to do with anything...
Shall I remind you of this guy you may have heard of...
Yeah Durant is a 7-footer with guard skills. No comparison to a dude that is 6'4, 170 pounds.
No basketball analyst here, but I live near Spokane and enjoy Gonzaga basketball. Sallis has yet to develop into the offensive star that he was projected to be, but he is long, athletic, and a very good defender. He played solid minutes for a very good Gonzaga team. He would start for Nebraska game one, and maybe a change of scenery would jumpstart his development.
I had heard from Creighton people Sholtzberg was gone even before sallis had announced he was in the portal.
That was why I said earlier itt they had at least two guys leaving.
