I see this as more of a safe choice for Gomez. A jump from the Big West to the Mountain West is not nearly the leap it would be from the Big West to the Big 12. His size limitations won't be as exploitable in the Mountain West, and he'll be able to compete better. Not to say he couldn't in the Big 12, but it certainly would've been a larger risk for him.
At any rate, another guy is off the table for Prohm, and while there's still plenty of time on the clock, things aren't looking great. I don't really like where we stand with Turner (seems like a Mizzou lean) or Aiken (seems he'll pick somewhere on the east coast). If Prohm can't start sealing some deals, 2020-21 will be an unmitigated disaster.
