Thornton visited both schools, and had been rumored to be a strong Gonzaga lean since he left campus. The announcement today came as a little bit of a shock. Thornton isn’t a great scorer, but his defense and ball handling would have fit in well with this roster.
Without Thornton, we’ll see where Gonzaga goes next.
