Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Gonzaga Bulldogs contact Class of 2023 4-star forward and Kansas Jayhawks decommit Marcus Adams Jr. Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs contacted former Kansas Jayhawks commit Marcus Adams Jr., a four star recruit in the Class of 2023 who requested his release and is on the open market.

Adams would be an excellent replacement for Alex Toohey as a developmental piece on Gonzaga's bench, if he is inclined to join a team where he won't play big minutes in Year 1.

We also take a look back on my bold predictions from last season, including conversation on Julian Strawther, Hunter Sallis, Braden Huff, Ben Gregg, and Kaden Perry.

We close out the show discussing Kelly Olynyk and Kevin Pangos, who each made the Canadian Senior Men's National Team and could compete for an Olympic Medal in 2024 in Paris.

Transfer guard Jose Perez to Gonzaga Bulldogs rumors are heating up! | Portal target: Chris Ledlum Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are 'strong contenders' for West Virginia transfer guard Jose Perez, and reports indicate a visit is in the works for the 6'5 scorer from the Mountaineers. We revisit what Perez's role would look like with the Zags in Spokane, and the other schools, like Michigan and Oregon, still in pursuit.

Then, we discuss Chris Ledlum, a former Harvard forward who committed to Tennessee back in March but recently decommitted and is now available again. Gonzaga pursued Ledlum last time, could they do it again?

We close out the show discussing Courtney Vandersloot's fifth All-Star Game appearance and the official signing of Filip Petrusev by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Gonzaga Bulldogs transfer portal target: Boston College guard Demarr Langford | Zags WBB update Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are looking for another guard in the NCAA transfer portal, with connections made to Jose Perez (West Virginia) and Jeremiah Williams (Iowa State) but if those fall through, could Boston College guard Demarr Langford be a target? Langford is a 6'5 guard who posted solid defensive numbers in the ACC, and while he's not much of a shooter he could fill a valuable role for the Zags in Spokane next season.

We are then joined by Matthew Walter to discuss Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga women's basketball team, including newcomer Naya Ojukwu, injured guard Bree Salenbien, the continuity on this roster, and the questionable talent still remaining in the WCC following BYU's departure.

Is the Big 12 conference still interested in Gonzaga Bulldogs? | Filip Petrusev's NBA dream realized Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs remain a potential target for Brett Yormark and the Big 12 conference, but the latest rumors primarily revolve around East coast programs like UConn, St. John's, and even Syracuse. Is Mark Few patient enough to wait for the Big 12 to show interest again, or could they try to land elsewhere instead of staying in the WCC?

Chet Holmgren had 25 points and five blocks in his most recent Summer League game, while Julian Strawther dropped 21 and Drew Timme continues to get shafted by Milwaukee, playing just 2 minutes in his latest contest.

Finally, we close out the show discussing Filip Petrusev, who Nick Nurse confirmed will be on the roster for next season after the team drafted him way back in 2021.

Which Gonzaga Bulldogs newcomer has the highest ceiling? | 2024 Class: Zoom Diallo or Asa Newell? Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have five newcomers joining the roster next season: Ryan Nembhard, Graham Ike, Steele Venters, Jun-Seok Yeo, and Dusty Stromer, and we rank them based on who has the highest ceiling and the highest floor for next season (and beyond).

The Zags have two key targets in the Class of 2024, point guard Zoom Diallo and stretch four Asa Newell. Who would be the better fit for Mark Few's team if they can only pick one, and what are the odds of landing both?

Finally, we close out the show discussing Brian Kalmer, who was drafted in the 18th round by the Chicago Cubs in the MLB Draft, joining Owen Wild who went to Tampa Bay in another banner weekend for the Gonzaga Baseball program.

Chet Holmgren, Filip Petrusev shine in NBA Summer League | Is Drew Timme getting a fair shake? Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have seven players participating in the NBA Summer League. Some have plenty of job security, like Andrew Nembhard with the Indiana Pacers and Chet Holmgren with the Oklahoma City Thunder, while others are fighting for a role on next year's squad, like Julian Strawther and Filip Petrusev for Denver and Philadelphia, respectively.

Additionally, some aren't getting a particularly fair shake at playing time so far, including Drew Timme who is barely playing for the Milwaukee Bucks and Malachi Smith who has yet to appear for the Portland Trail Blazers, a shame considering the talent they have.

Finally, we close out the show discussing Alek Jacob, who was called up by the San Diego Padres, and Owen Wild, who was drafted in the seventh round by the Tampa Bay Rays, another banner weekend for the Gonzaga Baseball program.

Can Jun Seok-Yeo lead Gonzaga Bulldogs to NCAA Final 4? | Options for Zags 3 remaining scholarships Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs aren't quite done building their roster for the 2023-24 season, but Mark Few and company have the framework to once again compete for a spot in the Final 4 and a national championship.

Today is Mailbag Monday and we discuss what needs to happen for the Zags to win it all, including a monster season from newcomer Jun Seok-Yeo and someone to step up as a rim protector. We also discuss Gonzaga's recruitment of Zoom Diallo, the transfers they are currently pursuing (Jeremiah Williams and Jose Perez) transfers they could still pursue (Myron Gardner and Jalen Carey) and discussion on giving a scholarship to walk-on Colby Brooks.

Finally, we discuss some Zags playing pro ball overseas, including Ira Brown's tremendous career, Geno Crandall and Mathis Monninghoff being teammates, and Jonathan Williams and Jeremy Jones in Japan.

Comparing every Gonzaga Bulldogs player to a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have peaked a few years ago, but today we look at each player on the Gonzaga Bulldogs and compare them to a character from the MCU. Hear why Ryan Nembhard's quest to replace his brother Andrew is similar to Tom Holland's quest to replace another Andrew, former Spider-Man Andrew Garfield. Also, why Ben Gregg gets the Iron Man comparison, which new Zag is now the captain, and why Anton Watson's hammer dunks earned him the Thor moniker.

Gonzaga Bulldogs contact West Virginia transfer Jose Perez, is he the final piece? | 2025 Zag targets! Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are still hot on the NCAA transfer portal trail, this time making immediate contact with another West Virginia transfer in Jose Perez. Perez is a 6'5 guard who has averaged 15 or more points per game in three of his four college seasons, but sat out all of last year with the Mountaineers because of NCAA eligibility. Is his defense up to par to play a third guard role for the Zags in Spokane?

We then talk about two players the Zags are pursuing in the 2025 recruiting class, Legend Smiley from Seattle and Rocco Zikarsky from the NBA Global Academy in Australia, and how Few's recruiting strategy hasn't really changed - nor should it.

Finally, we close out the show discussing a listener submitted question about how many WCC teams will make the 2024 NCAA Tournament, and who if anyone besides Gonzaga and Saint Mary's might go dancing.

Are the Gonzaga Bulldogs running out of options in the NCAA transfer portal? | Chet Holmgren is back! Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have contacted multiple high level guards in the NCAA transfer portal, but recently struck out on Paul Mulcahy (Washington) and Joe Toussaint, giving them a lot less options to work with as they look to fill the Malachi Smith role as a third guard on this roster.

Jeremiah Williams, Noah Williams, and Jahvon Quinerly are all options previously discussed on this podcast, and other options could include Jalen Carey (Rhode Island) and DeMarr Langford (Boston College).

We then talk about Chet Holmgren's excellent summer league debut, where he had 15 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks for the Thunder after missing the last year with a foot injury.

Finally, we close out the show discussing new contracts for Domantas Sabonis (five years, $217 million) and Rui Hachimura (three years, $51 million) who is also expected to start next year alongside LeBron James for the Los Angeles Lakers.
