    Dusty May LEAVES CBB for Dallas Mavericks! Can Gonzaga CAPITALIZE on Michigan's misfortune?

    The Michigan Wolverines lose head coach Dusty May to the Dallas Mavericks—how might his NBA jump shake up the college basketball landscape and open doors for Mark Few’s Gonzaga Bulldogs? The conversation focused on the immediate fallout: Michigan players like Trey McKenney and LJ Cason could hit the transfer portal, while top 2026 recruits face uncertain commitments. Could Gonzaga land a game-changing guard or snag a rising international prospect given their connections? A key theme that emerged was the impact of new NCAA transfer rules on roster maneuvering. The discussion explored Gonzaga’s potential recruiting strategies, the status of incoming freshmen from powerhouse programs, and Ryan Nembhard's future with the Mavericks under May’s leadership. Several points were raised, including updated 2027 recruiting rankings—Dooney Johnson’s rapid rise, Jalen Davis’s surprising slip, and Gene Roebuck’s contentious fall. With portal windows tightening and top recruits re-evaluating their paths, is Gonzaga poised for another major roster coup?

    Gonzaga vs. New Mexico State in FIRST home game of Pac-12 era? | Tyon Grant-Foster CLEARED by NBA!

    Gonzaga Bulldogs set their Pac-12 era in motion, reportedly hosting New Mexico State in their first home game—a pivotal matchup as the team builds one of its strongest non-conference schedules yet. Andy Patton spotlights confirmed showdowns against Purdue, LSU, Creighton, Michigan State, and a marquee clash with Duke at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena. Could a renewed rivalry with UCLA or a high-profile Seattle matchup shake up the season further? Patton dissects New Mexico State’s fall from WAC dominance, their recovery from scandal, and what Zags fans should expect from this “buy game.” The episode also covers buy-game dynamics, potential Pac-12 home-court changes, and the strategic importance of early-season tune-ups. Closing out, Patton breaks down Tyon Grant Foster’s medical clearance by the NBA, his strengths as a defender, and why his pro future remains intriguing despite a shaky jump shot. Can Grant Foster make a Summer League splash?  Written work covering Gonzaga at SI: https://www.si.com/college/gonzaga  Locked On Zags Discord: https://discord.gg/FFNgKfXbKd  Get Locked On Zags ad-free with the Everydayer Club.

    Is Gonzaga HURT by NCAA's new INTERNATIONAL Rules? And what happens next for Mark Few, Zags?

    NCAA’s controversial international player eligibility rules send shockwaves through college basketball recruiting, putting Gonzaga Bulldogs and Arizona Wildcats’ global pipelines at risk. With a new €50,000 minimum salary threshold potentially restricting top European talent, coaches like Mark Few and Tommy Lloyd face tough questions: Can Gonzaga secure Izan Almansa’s eligibility and fill out its bench? Will Arizona land a starting power forward and remain a Big 12 frontrunner?  Andy Patton and Leaf Thulin break down the inconsistent NCAA rollout, spotlighting cases like Ivan Kharchenkov, Massamba Diop, and other international stars. Key discussion points include how roster construction strategies might shift, the looming impact of age restrictions, and whether college basketball’s “amateurism” era is truly over. Will Arizona and Gonzaga’s recruiting edge survive? Is a major shakeup coming for blue-blood contenders across the NCAA landscape? Don’t miss this pivotal analysis of college hoops’ global future.  Written work covering Gonzaga at SI: https://www.si.com/college/gonzaga  Locked On Zags Discord: https://discord.gg/FFNgKfXbKd  Get Locked On Zags ad-free with the Everydayer Club.

    Gonzaga's ELITE international stars, ranked! Is Mario Saint-Supery top ten? Who is up next?

    Gonzaga Bulldogs’ international recruiting pipeline reshapes the past decade—who stands as the greatest Zag from abroad? Andy Patton ranks Gonzaga’s top 10 non-USA players since 2016, spotlighting stars like Rui Hachimura, Killian Tillie, and the Nembhard brothers. Shrewd international scouting has fueled program success, but can newer faces like Mario Saint-Supéry and Juwan Ekanga-Ehawa make their mark on this elite list? Insights include how Shem Karnowski powered the Bulldogs to their first national championship game, why Filip Petrusev’s All-American season is often overlooked, and the transformative impact of versatile guards Joel Ayayi and Andrew Nembhard. With analysis of key role players, future standouts like Massamba Diop, and a nod to program legends who just missed the cut, Patton dissects what makes Gonzaga’s global approach a powerhouse in college basketball recruiting.

    Gonzaga Bulldogs have MASSIVE financial advantage in new Pac-12, will it lead to national title?

    Gonzaga Bulldogs secure full PAC-12 membership in 2026, gaining a financial edge no other team can match. Can Mark Few’s squad leverage this to become the PAC-12’s new basketball powerhouse? Christian Ruah and Andy Patton debate the implications of Gonzaga’s jump from the WCC, breaking down roster retention, recruiting outlook, and how a basketball-only move positions the Bulldogs for NCAA dominance. Is the PAC-12 quietly becoming college basketball’s premier mid-major conference? Power rankings heat up as Christian Ruah and Andy Patton stack the new PAC-12 contenders: Utah State, San Diego State, and Oregon State jockey for elite status behind Gonzaga. Key storylines include San Diego State’s roster challenges, Utah State’s coaching transition, and whether Oregon State’s overhaul sparks a surprise. Plus, can the conference avoid being a “one-bid” league in the expanded NCAA Tournament and challenge the Big East for relevance?
