The Gonzaga Bulldogs offered center Matt Van Komen a spot on the squad on Friday evening. Van Komen is a 7’3 player from Pleasant Grove, Utah.
Someone who is that tall already might bring back some pained memories of Will Foster. The old basketball adage of being a big man “you can’t coach seven feet” only goes so far as the talent goes. Van Komen is a bit different, however.
He is ranked as the second-best player coming out of Utah, the 16th best center in the nation, and the No. 73 player overall according to 247Sports.
