SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga has signed one of the top high school basketball players from the Inland Northwest.
Gonzaga Prep star Anton Watson signed with the Zags Wednesday. He had committed to the team in June 2017.
Watson was among a list of 18 finalists for Team USA’s U-18 National team back in June. He had said back in June 2017 that Washington State University and the University of Washington have also shown interest.
The 6-foot 7-inch forward led Gonzaga Prep to a 4A state title last season. He averaged roughly 22 points and eight rebounds in 2017-2018.
Watson started earning a lot of attention during his sophomore season, with member of Gonzaga's coaching staff making the short trip to see him play.
