The Gonzaga University men’s basketball team has landed four-star recruit Braden Huff, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Carol Stream, Illinois.
“I picked Gonzaga because I felt like it was the best fit for me,” Huff said to On3. “This was the place I wanted to be at just because of the history and development that goes on through this program.”
Huff’s announcement comes after an official visit to GU’s campus on Sept 24, however the program first reached out to him in July.
“When I got that first call, I remember I was at one of our AAU tournaments and I saw a call on my phone from Spokane,” Huff said to the Chicago Sun-Times. “I was immediately excited.”
Last season, Huff averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 22 minutes a game for Glenbard West High School. According to 247Sports.com, he's the second-best prospect in the state of Illinois and ranks 88th nationally.
Huff is the Bulldogs’ first commitment of the 2022 class. He also received offers from Virginia Tech, Northwestern and Wisconsin among others.
