Along with the Zags, the senior will plan trips to Iowa State and Texas A&M.
In the middle of Gonzaga’s 88-80 win against Arizona State on Sunday, Jon Rothstein reported that Virginia transfer Jalen Warley is scheduling visits to the Zags, Iowa State and Texas A&M this season. His decision to leave the Cavaliers came right after the unexpected retirement from coach Tony Bennett.
The defensive-minded guard spent the first three seasons of his collegiate career with Florida State where he spent under now Gonzaga assistant coach R-Jay Barsh. While with the Seminoles, Warley averaging 6.0 PPG, 2.9 APG, 2.5 RPG and 13. SPG in 96 games played.
At 6’7 and 205 pounds, the he would bring length and versatility to the point guard position. Along with being a lockdown defender towards any primary ball handler or out on the wing (similar to Emmanuel Innocenti), Warley has great touch on his passes and can act as a facilitator.
The exact date that the senior will be coming to Spokane this season hasn’t been set yet.
