Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will host Arkansas guard Khalif Battle on a visit this weekend, with Mark Few hoping to land the high-scoring veteran guard in his final season of college basketball eligibility. Battle averaged 29.6 points over his final seven games with the Hogs, and he'd be a perfect third guard off the bench for this program. The transfer portal is now closed and Gonzaga kept the majority of their core around, and a team photo posted right at the deadline showed this team's camaraderie and togetherness, a rarity in the modern era. What is left for this team over the offseason? Michael Ajayi is in the NBA draft process, but otherwise it's just filling a few scholarship spots. We close out the show discussing Chet Holgmren and Julian Strawther each advancing to the conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, while Rui Hachimura and the Lakers are eliminated and Jalen Suggs and Andrew Nembhard face 3-2 deficits for Orlando and Indiana, respectively.

Luka Krajnovic reportedly entered the NCAA transfer portal one day before it closes, leaving Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs without a backup point guard and with another open scholarship. Krajnovic showed promise down the stretch last season, and could opt to return to Croatia and play professionally or find another school to continue his education and likely land a bigger role on the court. Losing Krajnovic makes adding another guard even more important for the Zags, and we discuss five young guard options the team could pursue - including incoming freshmen Nolan Traore and Trent Perry and transfers Wesley Yates, Emmanuel Innocenti, and Rowan Brumbaugh. We close out the show discussing other outside the box transfer options for the Zags, including Tyler Harris and Juanse Gorosito from Portland, Roger McFarlane from SE Louisiana, Kasean Pryor from South Florida, and even Bronny James.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will face Danny Hurley and the back-to-back national champion UConn Huskies at Madison Square Garden in December - and they will have a familiar face in the backcourt in former Saint Mary's guard Aidan Mahaney. Mahaney committed to UConn over Creighton, Virginia, and Kentucky, but we wonder if a new offense will allow Mahaney to thrive or if it will be a challenge for the rising junior. We also discuss Lisa Fortier and the Zag women adding a new player in UConn transfer Ines Bettencourt, a 5'7 guard from Portugal who played very sparingly for the Huskies the past two seasons. However, the Zags have a bunch of holes to fill in the backcourt, and Bettencourt could be a sneaky breakout star. Plus, Calli Stokes explains her decision to enter the transfer portal, citing a concussion which has led her to the decision to end her basketball playing career. We close out the show discussing Andrew Nembhard's prolific performance so far for the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Playoffs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are in the hunt to complete their roster ahead of the 2024-25 college basketball season, and are looking at quite a few young guards either in the transfer portal or on the recruiting trail. We discuss the five top options, including Nolan Traore, Travis Perry, Wesley Yates, Rowan Brumbaugh and Emmanuel Innocenti. Today is also Mailbag Monday and we discuss if Gonzaga and Washington will continue their series with Danny Sprinkle taking over for the Huskies, which WCC team might be a surprise contender alongside the Zags, which teams from each Power Conference I'd like to see Gonzaga schedule a home-and-home with, and comparing Chet Holmgren to incoming Duke freshman Cooper Flagg.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have reportedly reached out to Tarleton State transfer Emmanuel Innocenti, a 6'5 wing from Italy who averaged 6.6 points, 6.4 boards, 2.9 assists, and 1.7 steals last year in the WAC. With three years of college basketball eligibility remaining, could Innocenti be a developmental guard for the Zags? Gonzaga lost their first scholarship player to the transfer portal in Pavle Stosic, the Serbian big man who played 46 total minutes after joining the team in late-September last offseason. Stosic was unlikely to see much playing time as a sophomore, and opts instead to find somewhere where he can develop on the court. We close the show discussing the four Zags in the NBA Playoffs, three who had 20 point games last week in Andrew Nembhard, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Suggs, and one who is struggling in Rui Hachimura.

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Nolan Hickman broke out as a junior this past college basketball season, averaging a career-high 14 points per game while shooting over 40% from three. He adjusted seamlessly to a shooting guard role, making room for Ryan Nembhard to step in and lead Mark Few's offense. Hickman's ability to play alongside Nembhard helped Gonzaga on both ends of the floor, and he scored in double figures 28 times in what was a hugely critical and largely underappreciated junior year for the Seattle native. Hickman will finally keep the same role for a second straight year heading into his senior season, what could his final year as a Zag entail? And will he get looks in the 2025 NBA draft?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs offered a preferred walk-on spot on the roster to North Kitsap guard Cade Orness. Orness is a 6'5 guard and the all-time leading scorer at North Kitsap, and he helped take down Anacortes and 2025 Gonzaga target Davis Fogle in the 2A State Playoffs. Could Orness develop into a legit contributor for Few and the Zags? Gonzaga president Thayne McCulloh will retire at the end of the 2024-25 academic year, a tough blow for Gonzaga and a move that could have ramifications on the program's hunt to join a new conference once realignment conversations pick up this summer. Could a new president veto the Big 12 as an option for the university? Will the Big East become the preferred landing spot? We also discuss Joshua Jefferson landing at Iowa State after two years at Saint Mary's and why it's a great fit for Randy Bennett's former power forward, as well as rumored destinations for Aidan Mahaney which include Creighton and UConn. Plus, San Diego star Kevin Patton has entered the transfer portal, meaning Steve Lavin's three best players from last year are out the door. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Locked On Zags podcast is the daily podcast that keeps you ahead of the games and the first to know the latest news, analysis, and insider info for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs made an offer to 2025 guard Davis Fogle, the top ranked player in the state of Washington. Fogle grew two inches since we last discussed him, standing at 6'7 before he heads to Compass Prep in Arizona to finish his high school career. Will he ultimately return to Spokane to play for the Zags? Speaking of Mark Few, he will be an assistant coach for Team USA in the Paris Olympic Games this summer, coaching a roster littered with basketball superstars including LeBron James, Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and more. What does it mean for Few and Gonzaga to have him on the sideline for Team USA? We also discuss Calli Stokes entering the transfer portal and leaving the Zag WBB program, Saint Mary's and Portland making transfer portal additions, and a remarkable offseason so far for Stan Johnson and LMU after they landed a fourth big time transfer - this one being former Pepperdine big man Jevon Porter.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs made an offer to 2026 center Sam Funches, the top ranked big man in his class and a top 10 prospect overall according to 247Sports. The Missouri native is 6'10 with a huge wingspan and outside shooting touch, making him a highly coveted prospect already. Can Few and the Zags bring him to Spokane? Today is also Mailbag Monday and we discuss whether the Bulldogs will play a nine man rotation in 2024-25, compare this team to the two previous teams that went to the national championship in 2017 and 2021, and discuss whether Washington State will make the WCC a three bid league and the professional career hopes for Brynna Maxwell and Kaylynne Truong after they were picked in the WNBA draft.

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Luka Krajnovic appeared in 16 games as a freshman, missing about six weeks with a hand injury and ultimately never quite cracking Mark Few's rotation behind talented guards Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman. Still, the Croatian guard showed flashes of why he could be a big piece for the Zags down the line. Will we see Krajnovic hold down a bigger role in 2024-25? Or will we have to wait until Nembhard and Hickman are gone? And if so, will Krajnovic be patient enough to do so? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Brynna Maxwell joins the show to discuss getting selected 13th overall in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky, as well as her final season in Spokane, the dominance of Lisa Fortier's team, beating Utah to advance to the Sweet 16, and what it means to get drafted alongside teammate Kaylynne Truong who went eight picks later to the Washington Mystics. We close out the show discussing Aidan Mahaney entering the transfer portal out of Saint Mary's - a shocking development for Randy Bennett's team and a significant sign of concern for the Gaels of Moraga.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs offered 2024 French guard prospect Nolan Traore, and he recently dominated at the Nike Hoops Summit in Portland. Traore is playing professionally in France, and the 17-year-old may not even come to play college basketball at all, but if he does he would be a perfect fit as a pick and roll guard in Gonzaga's system. A pair of Gonzaga women's players were selected in the 2024 WNBA draft in Brynna Maxwell and Kaylynne Truong who went to the Chicago Sky and Washington Mystic, respectively. Having two Zags picked is a huge sign of the respect coach Lisa Fortier's team commands, especially when considering the team's best player, Yvonne Ejim, is coming back for another year. We close out the show discussing Oumar Ballo who found a new home at Indiana and a pair of transfer portal additions at other WCC programs: Jan Vide going from UCLA to LMU and Carlos Stewart returning to Santa Clara after one injury riddle season at LSU.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are once again involved in the recruitment of 2024 guard and McDonald's All-American Trent Perry, who decommitted from USC after coach Andy Enfield left for the job at SMU. The Zags will have plenty of competition for Perry, but if he's willing to spend a year learning from Ryan Nembhard he could have a huge breakout sophomore season in Spokane. We also discuss how the 10 Zags in the NBA did as the regular season comes to a close. Domantas Sabonis and Chet Holmgren each played in all 82 games, with Sabonis recording 77 double-doubles and Holmgren posting some of the most elite efficiency numbers in league history. Four other Zags are on playoff teams as well in Jalen Suggs, Andrew Nembhard, Rui Hachimura, and Julian Strawther. We close out the show discussing the four other NBA Zags who did not make the playoffs: Kelly Olynyk who is at home in Toronto, Corey Kispert's dominance down the stretch for Washington, Zach Collins playing alongside Victor Wembanyama, and Brandon Clarke returning from injury for six games with Memphis.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have four games remaining in a six-game scheduling series against the Kentucky Wildcats, who are now coached by former BYU head man Mark Pope. Will Pope and Few continue the series, which is set to resume in Seattle this season? Staying on the college basketball coaching carousel, Eastern Washington hired former Gonzaga, Minnesota, and Long Beach State head coach Dan Monson, bringing him back to the inland northwest where it all began 25 years ago. Finally, we close out the show discussing Gonzaga's non-conference schedule, whether anyone on this team is a future NBA player, what steps need to be taken defensively for this program, and the Zag baseball team's seven game winning streak.

Jun Seok Yeo's first season with the Gonzaga Bulldogs was quiet, as the South Korean forward didn't earn a spot in Mark Few's rotation and averaged less than seven minutes per game for the Zags in Spokane. However, his best and worst case scenarios for this season were always going to be determined behind the scenes, and how he comes out in 2024-25 will help determine if he spent this season growing and developing his game. Of course, Yeo will have to stick around this offseason - and that might not happen when considering the likelihood he is not in the rotation again next season with basically the entire team returning and Michael Ajayi expected to take minutes at the three and the four. Will Yeo enter the transfer portal or go play professionally overseas? Or will he come back and continue to grow in Gonzaga's system? FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs pursued 2023 top 50 prospect Wesley Yates III out of high school before he committed to Washington. Now, after sitting the entire year with a foot injury, Yates has entered the NCAA transfer portal and he might be the perfect developmental guard piece for Mark Few's team. We also discuss the latest updates on the Kentucky basketball head coach search, which includes Baylor's Scott Drew, UConn's Danny Hurley, and former Florida coach Billy Donovan who is now with the Chicago Bulls. Is Drew going to leave the Bears for the Wildcats, and if so will Gonzaga's four game series with Kentucky still go on? And could John Calipari and Few connect on a similar series now that Cal is at Arkansas? We close out the show discussing Saint Mary's losing coach Justin Joyner to Michigan, San Francisco losing Mike Sharavjamts to the transfer portal, and Portland making a big portal addition.

Anton Watson represented the Gonzaga Bulldogs as a near perfect Zag: A Spokane kid who stayed the course, battled adversity in the form of injuries, and who ultimately stepped up for Mark Few's team when they needed him most by having a career season in his final year of college basketball eligibility. We also discuss Watson's best and worst case scenarios coming into the season and how he performed, including his improved efficiency and output from the three point line, his All WCC First Team nod, and his two 32 point performances and near triple-double in the NCAA Tournament. Finally, we close out the show discussing Watson's NBA future - could he get drafted in the second round this year? Will he get invited to the combine? What does he need to prove in order to get a spot in the league next season? FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are reportedly in contact with Georgetown guard Rowan Brumbaugh after he entered the NCAA transfer portal. Brumbaugh is a 6'4 combo guard who shot 37% from three last year and who had previously spent a year at Texas redshirting before joining the Hoyas. The Zags don't have a bunch of playing time to go around, but Brumbaugh could be a valuable bench piece before stepping into a starting role in 2025-26 once Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman graduate. Coach John Calipari is leaving the Kentucky Wildcats to take over for Eric Musselman at Arkansas, a shocking development that has ripple effects throughout college basketball, including potentially impacting Gonzaga's six-year series with the Wildcats. Could Scott Drew, Nate Oats, Mark Pope, or even Tommy Lloyd take over for Big Blue Nation? Finally, we close out the show discussing Oumar Ballo hitting the transfer portal out of Arizona and what it means for the Wildcats, and why he's not a fit to return to Spokane for his final season of eligibility.

Bronny James has entered the NCAA transfer portal, could LeBron's son be a target for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs? Similarly, LSU star point guard and Washington native Hailey Van Lith is also in the portal, could Lisa Fortier convince her to come home and play for the Zags? We also discuss UConn's dominance and what Gonzaga can learn from Dan Hurley and the Huskies, and whether a different region might have yielded different results for the Zags in the NCAA Tournament. Finally, we close out the show discussing whether Few's tight rotations is a hindrance for Gonzaga and discuss the Zags coaching tree which includes Tommy Lloyd, Leon Rice, and Roger Powell.
