Gonzaga forward Domantas Sabonis (11) drives to the basket as Duke guard Matt Jones (13) defends during the second half of an NCAA Elite Eight tournament men's basketball game at NRG Stadium, Sunday in Houston, Texas. The big question now is this: Will Sabonis stay for another year to from a quartet of tall timbers with Prezmik Karnowski, Kyle Wiljer and 7-0 redshirt freshman (SR photo: Colin Mulvany)

In his "Grip on Sports," Vince Grippi writes:

"If they (Przemek Karnowski, Domas Sabonis and Kyle Wiltjer) all return – Sabonis might just be the biggest question mark, considering his professional background and projected NBA upside – then expect Gonzaga to be in the mix again this time next season. Oh sure, there will be question marks. Losing Pangos, Bell and Byron Wesley not only takes out 60 percent of your starting lineup but a huge percentage of your leadership. The backcourt will have to be rebuilt, with a corresponding lack of experience. But there are candidates whose potential seems limitless and having the three bigs up front – along with a another 7-footer, Ryan Edwards, who spent his redshirt year retooling his physical skills – to toss the ball to should ease some of the growing pains. And who knows, with the success Wesley had, the joy he seemed to experience while playing his senior year in Spokane, other graduate transfers who could help may be ready to contact Few." More here.

Question: Do you agree with Vince Grippi that this is the year that Gonzaga became "exceptional"?
