Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs landed Colgate guard Braeden Smith, one of the top guards remaining in the transfer portal. Smith is a native of Seattle and plans to redshirt next season, giving him two years of eligibility to start at point guard in the post Ryan Nembhard era. After Nembhard struggled in the first half of his first season with the Zags, Few decided he wanted someone to take over who has experience in the system, and convincing Smith to redshirt proves how elite this program's recruiting and player development is.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs offered 2025 five-star guard prospect Jalen Haralson almost a year ago, but the Indiana native just now indicated he plans to visit Spokane. The No. 8 ranked player in the class, Haralson has interest from Auburn, Indiana, Duke, Kansas and others, but would be an extremely welcome addition for the Zags in the post Nembhard and Hickman era.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs signed transfer portal additions Michael Ajayi, Khalif Battle, and Emmanuel Innocenti. Ajayi could still stay in the NBA draft process, but otherwise the Zags roster is set for the 2024-25 college basketball season. We project how the starting lineup, rotation, and minutes will be distributed next year if Ajayi is on the roster or if he isn't.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are reportedly hosting Colgate guard Braeden Smith, one of the top guards remaining in the transfer portal. Smith is a native of Seattle and is considering coming to Spokane and redshirting next season, giving him two years of eligibility to start at point guard in the post Ryan Nembhard era. Could the Zags land an outstanding Nembhard replacement, using their tried and true method of redshirt year development? How rare would that be in the modern portal era?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have built a roster in Spokane capable of winning the program's first ever college basketball national championship - particularly if Pepperdine transfer Michael Ajayi pulls out of the NBA draft process. Ajayi performed well at the combine and showcased a 7'0.75 wingspan, but still isn't generating a ton of NBA attention - making it likely he plays for the Zags next season.
