Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Mailbag Monday: Analyzing a Hunter Sallis and Nolan Hickman starting backcourt for Gonzaga May 16, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs already added Efton Reid for next year's roster, but Mark Few and his staff could be looking to make even more additions, particularly to this team's young, inexperienced backcourt. Would Tyrese Hunter or Kevin McCullar push one or both of Nolan Hickman or Hunter Sallis to the bench? What about a return from Rasir Bolton? Should Zag fans be satisfied if Sallis and Hickman are both starters next season?

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing GU's backcourt is just one of many topics covered, including:

Who would win, US born Zags or International born Zags?
Giving out awards for the Zags in the NBA
A proposed solution to the NIL situation
Revisiting Gonzaga's potential move to the Mountain West
Is this already the most successful Gonzaga baseball season of all-time?

And more!

Gonzaga's not the only WCC team adding talented players via NCAA transfer portal May 13, 2022

Show notes

Four Gonzaga Bulldogs, Andrew Nembhard, Julian Strawther, Drew Timme, and Chet Holmgren, were invited to participate in the NBA Draft combine next week. Noticeably absent is Rasir Bolton - could the transfer guard return to Spokane for one more year under Mark Few?

Today's episode discusses what the draft combine means for our Zags, and we also take a full look around the WCC and the transfer additions, including two huge newcomers for Steve Lavin and the San Diego Toreros - Jaiden Delaire from Stanford and Eric Williams from Oregon - while also looking at BYU and USF's recent additions.

Finally, a quick look at the GU baseball program ahead of their weekend series against Santa Clara, and we end the week sharing a lovely story of friendship and Pryzemek Karnowski for Fan Story Friday: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Discussing NIL opportunities for Gonzaga student-athletes with Friends of Spike's executive team May 12, 2022

Show notes

NIL has dominated the conversation around college athletics over the past year, including at Gonzaga University. Student-athletes are now getting paid for their name, image, and likeness, and a new initiative called Friends of Spike now exists to help these student-athletes earn compensation, now that the NCAA has (finally) allowed them to do so.

Joining Locked on Zags today is the executive leadership team at Friends of Spike, former Gonzaga hoopers Matt Santangelo and Shaniqua Nilles. Matt and Shaniqua discuss how they got involved with Friends of Spike and how the reception has been for the program so far.

The pair also discuss how they would have reacted to NIL opportunities when they were in school, how it helps these student-athletes in the short term and long term, the concern about fair compensation for student-athletes in women's programs, and of course share how you, dear listener, can get involved if you so choose.

Gonzaga Bulldogs season in review: The Five Walk-Ons May 11, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs were an extremely deep and talented bunch during the 2021-22 season. Chet Holmgren, Drew Timme, Andrew Nembhard, Julian Strawther, and Ras Bolton gave the Zags one of the best years in school history, but they weren't the only reason this team went to the Sweet 16 for the eighth year in a row.

Here at Locked on Zags, our season-in-review series is wrapping up, and the twelfth and final episode in the series is all about Gonzaga's five walk-ons - Will Graves, Matthew Lang, Joe Few, Abe Eagle, and Colby Brooks. We take a look at their contributions in late game situations last season, as well as reviewing the best and worst case scenarios from before the year began.

Finally, we take a look at the future for these five guys. Will Will Graves land at the D-1 level after entering the transfer portal? Is Matthew Lang going to come back? What about Eagle and Brooks - who have been here two years but haven't stepped onto the court in a game yet? All that and more here: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags

Gonzaga's transfer portal targets, and why this bracket buster proposal could save college hoops May 10, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs aren't done updating their roster for the 22-23 season, even after adding LSU big man Efton Reid. Iowa State's Tyrese Hunter and Texas Tech's Kevin McCullar are both priority targets for Mark Few and his staff, and the team could do even more depending on the future of Rasir Bolton, Drew Timme, and Julian Strawther.

Joining Locked on Zags today is Connor Hope, Connor is a Zag grad and CBB analyst for HeatCheckCBB. Connor and I discuss Reid's fit with the Zags, whether he would play well alongside Drew Timme, and his defensive chops in the first segment. Then we dig in to 2023 recruit Dusty Stromer and who his game reminds us of - and why he fits well in Spokane.

The pair also discusses both Hunter and McCullar, how they would fit at Gonzaga, and Connor offers who he thinks is the better (and more likely) candidate to end up in the blue and white next year. Finally, the show ends with some discussion about the latest Bracket Busters proposal, how it would impact the Zags, and which types of opponents Gonzaga will hopefully run into if this proposal comes to fruition.

Mailbag Monday: Tyrese Hunter or Kevin McCullar, who is a better fit for Gonzaga Bulldogs? May 09, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs aren't done retooling the roster, even after adding Dusty Stromer to the class of 2023 and Efton Reid via the transfer portal. Mark Few brought Iowa State guard Tyrese Hunter onto campus this weekend, and the team is connected to Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar as well.

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing the potential additions of McCullar or Hunter is just part of what is covered in this episode, including:

The likelihood of Drew Timme returning to Gonzaga
Who is a better fit, Hunter or McCullar?
Who is the ideal opponent for GU in a Bracket Buster style game?
Which Zag has the best NBA potential?
Which Zag I would want to call a basketball game with

Tyrese Hunter set to visit Gonzaga Bulldogs over the weekend May 06, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs already landed Efton Reid via the NCAA transfer portal, but now Mark Few has his sights set on Iowa State's Tyrese Hunter, who is reportedly deciding between Kansas and the Zags. Today's episode discusses Hunter and his potential fit at GU, while also discussing the proposed schedule initiative that would have non-conference games in mid-February between evenly matched teams as a way to help seed the NCAA Tournament.

It is, as Matt Norlander put it, Bracket Busters on steroids.

After breaking down what that could mean for Gonzaga, we also look at the GU baseball program ahead of their weekend series against Santa Clara, and we end the week sharing a John Stockton story for Fan Story Friday: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Gonzaga Bulldogs season in review: Forward Ben Gregg May 05, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs stars Chet Holmgren and Drew Timme are both potentially departing Spokane to participate in the 2022 NBA Draft, leaving Mark Few and his staff looking for a new front court head of the 22-23 season. Even with Efton Reid now in the picture, the Zags could really use a breakout year from sophomore Ben Gregg to help them reach their full potential.

Here at Locked on Zags, our season-in-review series is underway, and the eleventh episode in the series is all about Gregg. We take a look at his contributions as a reserve last season, which was his first full year after playing a little bit in 20-21. We also review his best and worst case scenarios and discuss his future in Spokane and whether he will crack the rotation next year. More here: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags

Diving Deep into Efton Reid with Locked on LSU host Caroline Fenton May 04, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs landed a big fish in LSU big man Efton Reid via the transfer portal. Can Mark Few and the player development staff turn Reid into an NBA prospect, like they've done in the past with Domantas Sabonis, Kelly Olynyk, Brandon Clarke, and Rui Hachimura?

Joining Locked on Zags today is Locked on LSU host Caroline Fenton. Caroline and I discuss Reid's overall game and whether he met expectations at LSU in the first segment. Second segment is a look at his skills defensively and how he would adjust to a faster, more spaced out offensive style at Gonzaga, and the third segment is a look at his NBA potential, his experience in the SEC, and an overall look at the NCAA transfer portal and NIL and what impact it is having on the game we all love!

Talking Efton Reid, Dusty Stromer, and Gonzaga's top remaining transfer targets with Tobias Bass May 03, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs had a great day on Sunday, picking up a commitment from LSU transfer big man Efton Reid as well as 2023 top-50 guard Dusty Stromer. The Zags are also in the top-two for Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar, a sudden burst of movement for a team that has been largely quiet so far this offseason.

Joining Locked on Zags today is Tobias Bass, Tobias is a recruiting analyst for Zagsblog and NBC Sports EDGE, and he broke the news of Reid's commitment to Gonzaga. Tobias and I discuss Reid's fit with the Zags, whether he would play well alongside Drew Timme, and his defensive chops in the first segment. Then we dig in to Dusty Stromer, who draws comparisons to Corey Kispert, and what type of players Gonzaga targets out of high school.

Finally, the last segment talks about Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar, who is down to Kansas and Gonzaga, and Tobias gives his predictions about where he is going to land - and what that means for the Zags and Iowa State transfer Tyrese Hunter as well.
