Gonzaga looking at Premiere Canadian Recruit Christian David

Gonzaga head coach Mark Few was recently in Ontario, Canada watching 2017 6'5 SG Christian David, who is widely considered one of the premiere prospects in Canada. 

Currently ranked the #1 prospect in the class by North Pole Hoops, he plays for Bishop Reding Catholic Secondary School in Milton, Ontario. 

He is considered very skilled, an excellent passer with a high basketball I.Q. and was recently named MVP at the NPH hoops showcase. Besides Gonzaga, he is drawing a lot of interest from various top D1 schools. He has offers from Oregon, Baylor, and Illinois. UConn and Michigan have shown interest as well.

Gonzaga has a proven track record of being very successful at acquiring and developing Canadian prospects such as; Kelly Olynyk, Robert Sacre and Kevin Pangos. That alone should put the Zags in a pretty good place with Christian. 

Hopefully GU can continue the trend of landing top talent from Canada, and keep the Canadian pipeline to Gonzaga flowing.

Via North Pole Hoops: "The rising Filipino star is already very skilled, with a well-rounded game and still growing both physically and as a player–Picture perfect shooting stroke, High I.Q, great length and athleticism, complimented with possibly his most distinguishing characteristic–VISION and passing ability. David’s recruitment exploded after an MVP performance at the Toronto #NPHShowcase this past summer, followed by strong production on the AAU circuit. David currently holds major NCAA offers from Illinois, Baylor, Oregon and St Bonaventure."
