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.

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.

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 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.

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?
