As soon as Willard was finished with his Q&A the media, myself included, swarmed over to the opposite side of the gym to talk to Gordon.

One reason was that the school had him off limits to everyone while he got comfortable settling in over the summer at SHU.

What readers don't know is that I was promised an interview with him shortly after he committed but was then told the interview was canceled.

After that many media outlets tried to interview him to no avail.

Even Zagoria came to the Hall with the purpose of interviewing Gordon but was turned away.

Eventually as the season neared and the school realized he couldn't be sheltered anymore first JP Pelzman and then Jerry Carino got access to the player with both doing a great job writing their stories.
