Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Gonzaga Bulldogs 2022-23 season preview: Center Efton Reid Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

The college basketball season is nearly back, and Mark Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs are primed for another deep run into the NCAA Tournament. This year's squad features a ton of talent, including fan favorites, solid veterans, young guys looking to prove something, and incoming transfers ready to make an impact right away, much like Efton Reid.

Reid came to Gonzaga after one somewhat disappointing season under Will Wade at LSU. We talk about Reid's history, going from promising high school talent, to efficient but underutilized freshman at LSU, to coming to Gonzaga before Drew Timme made his decision.

Then, we talk about Reid's best and worst case scenarios for his first year in Spokane. Will a completely different offense and a brand new role show us a different version of Reid? Will he be ready to take on a starting role in 2023? How much will he play alongside Drew Timme this year?

We discuss his realistic role and expectations in the final segment, along with a conversation about his future in Spokane and if an NBA career is in the cards for the young big.

5 key takeaways from the Gonzaga Bulldogs' Kraziness in the Kennel scrimmage Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs fans got to see Mark Few's Zags in action during Kraziness in the Kennel on Saturday, alongside 2025 4-star wing prospect Nik Khamenia. Khamenia is the latest Gonzaga recruiting target, and we discuss his game and why the program has gone away from recruiting high schoolers in the last year or two.

In the second segment we discuss five key takeaways from the Kraziness scrimmage, including Ben Gregg and Braden Huff's role, Nolan Hickman's outside shooting, Drew Timme's bag, and Colby Brooks' surprise performance.

Finally, we close out the show discussing Jalen Suggs, who suffered a left knee injury during Orlando's preseason game on Friday and will be out for an undisclosed amount of time.

Predicting the Gonzaga Bulldogs 2022-23 lineup and rotation following Kraziness in the Kennel Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs fans in Spokane got a chance to see Mark Few's team in action on Saturday at the McCarthey Athletic Center for the annual Kraziness in the Kennel event. It marked the beginning of the Zags quest to bring a national championship to Spokane, and featured the first glimpses of Efton Reid and Malachi Smith in a GU uniform.

Today's episode is a mailbag, discussing what we saw (and heard) at Kraziness and how it could impact playing time this upcoming season. Dominick Harris said he is cleared to play on Monday, and his return will be a big factor in how the guard rotation shakes out this year.

We take a look at the frontcourt in the second segment, detailing Kaden Perry's health and the potential playing time for Reid and Anton Watson, as well as concerns about free throw shooting.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about Colby Brooks, a walk-on who played well on Saturday, as well as Gonzaga's starting lineup and the lack of recruits in the classes of 2023 and 2024 and if that is a concern.

Mark Few and John Calipari agree to six matchups between the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have agreed to a six-year series against John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats, with neutral site contests in Seattle and Nashville and the finale at the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane in 2027.

Today's episode discusses this unprecedented series, and how great it is not just for the Zags and Cats but for college basketball as a whole.

In the second segment we look at the WCC preseason rankings and All-WCC nominees. The Zags were unanimously selected to finish first in the conference, with three players - Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton - selected to make the All-WCC squad.

Lisa Fortier's women's team was also unanimously selected to win the league, while the Portland Pilots surpassed the BYU Cougars for second place. Yvonne Ejim and the Truong Twins were all selected for the All-WCC team as well.

Finally, we close out the show discussing Zach Norvell, who returned to Gonzaga to work as a student assistant while rehabbing from an injury and taking classes to get his undergraduate degree.

Gonzaga Bulldogs 2022-23 season preview: Guard Rasir Bolton Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

The elder statesman of the group is Rasir Bolton, who grad transferred to Gonzaga last year but will use his final year of eligibility to return for one more go-round in Spokane. We talk about Bolton's history, first at Penn State and then at Iowa State for two years, as well as his impact on the Zags last season and as a philanthropist in the Spokane community.

Then, we talk about Bolton's best and worst case scenarios for his freshman year. Can his high level efficiency from last season stick for another year? Or will he revert back to being just an average three point shooter, which could cost him playing time in a loaded backcourt?

We discuss his realistic role and expectations in the final segment, along with a conversation about his potential pro career and whether NBA teams will give him a look or not.

WCC head coach power rankings: Gonzaga's Mark Few is first, but who are 2-9? Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are set for another outstanding season in the West Coast Conference, which continues to boast some of the strongest programs and head coaches in the country. But when trying to rank the coaches in the WCC, it can get a little tricky - outside of Few and Randy Bennett of course.

Joining me today to attempt to create a WCC head coach power rankings is Tucky Clarry, a writer at FanSided and the Slipper Still Fits and podcaster with New Bloods.

Tuck and I each rank all 10 head coaches in the WCC, discussing everything from Shantay Legans' success in year one at Portland, how to evaluate a rookie head coach like Chris Gerlufsen, why Herb Sendek is so underrated, and what we think of heralded newcomer Steve Lavin.

Gonzaga Bulldogs 2022-23 season preview: Freshman forward Braden Huff Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

The group only has one freshmen though, a forward from Illinois named Braden Huff. In today's episode, we discuss how Huff ended up going from backup point guard as a freshman in high school to Mr. Illinois - awarded to the best player in the state.

Then, we talk about Huff's best and worst case scenarios for his freshman year. He may not see much of the court, but playing time doesn't tell much of the story for Huff - instead it will be how he matures, both physically and mentally, and prepares for a more impactful year two.

We discuss that second year in the final segment, looking at what Huff's career might look like in Spokane even if we don't see much of it in year one.

How Mark Few's coaching style could impact the Gonzaga Bulldogs lineup and rotation in 2022 Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have perhaps the most talented roster in program history heading into the 2022-23 season, giving Mark Few an incredibly tough, and envious, task of finding the perfect starting lineup and rotation to bring an NCAA championship to Spokane.

Today's episode is a mailbag, discussing Gonzaga's potential starting lineup and Few's willingness to make adjustments in the early part of the season. We also discuss who will be more impactful, Anton Watson or Efton Reid, while looking at the non-conference schedules for the men's and women's programs and how that could impact March Madness seeding.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about new walk-on Kellen Mitchell and if he will have a role following the departures of Matthew Lang and Will Graves, and what Marco Gonzales' role will be for the Seattle Mariners, who punched a ticket to the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on the Tennessee Volunteers in an exhibition game Oct 01, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers in an exhibition game in Frisco Texas, near Drew Timme's hometown, on October 28. Few's willingness to take this small school in Spokane and have them face anyone, anywhere, at any time is exactly what will the program ascend to the national championship level they are so close to achieving.

The second segment is a look at Timme's recent comments to FS1's John Fanta, where he admits he will make more money through NIL than he likely would have as an NBA player this season, a great sign for the health of college basketball going forward, especially when you consider Oscar Tshiebwe, Armando Bacot, Hunter Dickinson, and Trayce Jackson-Davis all made similar decisions.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about former Zag Aaron Cook's first professional contract in Cyprus, and Chet Holmgren's recent response to those criticizing him for participating in a pro-am event this summer, which led to his season-ending foot injury.

Gonzaga Bulldogs in the NBA season preview: Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

The NBA season is nearly here, and as many as 10 Gonzaga Bulldogs could suit up for various NBA squads this year, a testament to the high level recruiting and player development Mark Few's program has going on in Spokane. Today's episode is a discussion about Brandon Clarke, who is entering his fourth NBA season and the final year of his rookie contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.

We discuss Clarke's history, how he went from being a backup at San Jose State to the most productive player in all of college basketball with the Zags in 2018-19, why he fell in the 2019 NBA draft, and how his first three NBA seasons have gone in Memphis.

We also take a look at the best and worst case scenarios for Clarke entering his fourth season. He's expected to step into a starting role while Jaren Jackson Jr is out with an injury, and how he does in that role will determine a lot about how the rest of his season goes, how the Grizzlies do overall, and what his potential free agency could look like if Memphis doesn't give him an extension.
