    Gonzaga Bulldogs’ Braden Huff shockingly omitted from Field of 68’s Top 50 returners list—does this fuel his All-American campaign?

  5. CONCERN: Gonzaga's LACK of guard depth, and outside shooting, could SINK first season in Pac-12!

    CONCERN: Gonzaga's LACK of guard depth, and outside shooting, could SINK first season in Pac-12!

    Gonzaga Bulldogs face pressing offseason questions as Mark Few’s roster looks thin on guards and three-point shooters. With Jack Kayil staying in the NBA draft and Mario Saint-Supery set to lead the backcourt alongside Isiah Harwell and Davis Fogle, can the Zags address their outside shooting woes after the departure of key veterans? Is there enough depth and talent to compete in the increasingly competitive Pac-12? Andy Patton breaks down the eligibility uncertainty surrounding Izan Almansa, Parker Jefferson’s readiness for a bigger role, and the health of Braden Huff and Isiah Harwell following last season’s injuries. Key discussions include the impact of NCAA’s new international eligibility rules, Gonzaga’s defensive vulnerabilities on the perimeter, and which transfers or recruits could be game-changers. Can the Bulldogs overcome these hurdles and return to national contention, or will question marks linger as the season opener against Purdue approaches?

    X-FACTOR: Can transfer Isiah Harwell BREAK OUT and secure Gonzaga's backcourt next season?

    Isiah Harwell officially signs with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, putting the spotlight on his potential breakout sophomore season. With Jack Kayil staying in the NBA Draft, Harwell emerges as the likely starting shooting guard, but can he overcome last year’s injury woes and bolster Gonzaga’s backcourt depth? Andy Patton explores how Harwell’s recovery and development may shape the team’s ceiling, and what recent transfer portal activity means for the roster. Rising star Luca Foster arrives early in Spokane, raising questions about his immediate impact as a true freshman. Patton breaks down Foster’s skillset, compares him to standout Davis Fogle, and discusses Gonzaga’s recruiting wins—including 2027 commit Dooney Johnson and priority targets like DeMarcus Henry and Jalen Davis. With ESPN updating its recruiting class rankings and the transfer market still in flux, the Bulldogs’ off-season moves could define their place in the upcoming college basketball landscape.

    NECESSITY: Transfer Scotty Middleton would provide CRUCIAL outside shooting for Mark Few, Gonzaga

    Gonzaga Bulldogs target elite outside shooting with eyes on transfer wing Scotty Middleton. Could his arrival be the missing piece for Mark Few’s squad after last season’s three-point struggles? Andy Patton breaks down Middleton’s statistical profile, including his 39% career mark from beyond the arc across Ohio State, Seton Hall, and Tulane.  The episode explores Middleton’s projected fit within Gonzaga’s rotation, the Zags’ urgent need for reliable wing shooters, and how Middleton compares to former sharpshooters like Steele Venters and Nolan Hickman. Additional discussion includes which programs—San Diego State, Wichita State, and LSU—should also be in the hunt for Middleton’s services as international roster uncertainty looms. Plus, Andy Patton reviews Braeden Smith’s unique legacy at Gonzaga, highlighting his selfless redshirt year and key performances during a transitional season. Can the Zags shore up their perimeter game and depth before the new-look Pac-12 campaign begins?

    ALERT: NCAA rule change SHAKES Gonzaga, why Izan Almansa’s college career is now in JEOPARDY!

    NCAA’s controversial crackdown on international pros could upend Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball and alter the college hoops landscape overnight. Will key recruits like Izan Almansa ever suit up for Mark Few’s squad, and did the shifting eligibility rules push Jack Kayil to stay in the NBA draft? Andy Patton breaks down the NCAA’s abrupt decision to restrict players with international professional experience, spotlighting its direct impact on Gonzaga’s recruiting pipeline. Key discussions include the complex eligibility battle facing Almansa, the ripple effects of losing Kayil, and how programs like LSU and St. John’s are also at risk. Andy Patton analyzes possible legal challenges, scrutinizes the rationale and timing of the rule change, and fields mailbag questions about Gonzaga’s transfer strategy and the future of storied non-conference rivalries. Could this ruling permanently change the way elite programs build their rosters?
