For those of you who have kept up on Sam Dower here, you'll know that I've often referenced the Gonzaga blog, The Kennel Report. The good folks there have had their site rolled into one of the better named sites on the net, The Slipper Still Fits. Its a terrific source for anything with Gonzaga sports and they do a terrific job following the Zags recruiting scene. They were kind enough to ask me to give them some thoughts on their 2009 recruit Sam Dower. I had tons of fun doing this (and how nice after I just saw Dower play 3 times in the last 2 weeks). I only wish I could ask questions like they do.
Read my interview with The Slipper Still Fits here.
Good stuff! Must be pretty cool to be on the opposite side of the interviewing process. I've been hooked on Gonzaga basketball since the Matt Santangelo era. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Sam can do for them next season.
ReplyDeleteGonzaga's win over the U of M in the 99 tournament helped Dan Monson get hired by the Gophers. They had an amazing run, knocking off the U, Stanford, and Florida before losing a close one to El-Amin's U Conn Huskies.
ReplyDeleteI sat two seats down from Kahlid El-Amin at the 2000 NBA Draft at Target Center. Mike Miller's family sat the row ahead of us. I was the only person cheering Joel Przybilla when he was drafted. Good times... :)
ReplyDeleteNice timing - Sam was just named KARE-11's male athlete of the week!
ReplyDeleteNice Matt Santangelo reference. I do very little in the way of my own interviews. Being on the other side, while fun, is definitely a whole other ballgame and makes a person pause.
