Latest Episodes:

Analyzing Chet Holmgren's summer league performance and the other Gonzaga Bulldogs in the NBA Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs continue to produce NBA talent, with Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard the latest duo to join the professional ranks out of Spokane. Holmgren and Nembhard will hope to follow in the footsteps of Domas Sabonis and Brandon Clarke, while fellow youngsters Jalen Suggs and Corey Kispert will hope to find similar success as well.

NBA scout and analyst Mark Schindler joins the show to talk all about Gonzaga's NBA stars, with analysis on Holmgren's performance in the summer league, Nembhard's fit in Indiana, and what we need to see from Suggs and Kispert going forward. Schindler also talks about the development we have seen from Rui Hachimura, and why he's cautiously excited about the Sabonis-De'Aaron Fox pairing in Sacramento.

Finally, Mark shares about his experience covering the WNBA this season, and whether he thinks Courtney Vandersloot could catch Sue Bird in all-time assists.. Locked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.

Gonzaga Bulldogs recruiting updates with Sports Illustrated's Jason Jordan Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs coaching staff are out scouring the world for the next great Zag superstars, especially with the July period opening up for recruiting. Gonzaga's 2022 class is just one player, Braden Huff, while 2023 so far only includes Dusty Stromer - although that will almost certainly change.

Sports Illustrated's Jason Jordan joins the show to talk all about Gonzaga's two committed recruits, as well as updates on a trio the Zags are interested in - Mookie Cook, Kaden Cooper, and Xavier Booker.

Finally, Jason also shares his thoughts on the transfer portal, NIL and international recruiting over the past year, worrying about entitled high school students and how college coaches are recruiting these days. Locked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs women's basketball program has been a force in the WCC and NCAA Tournament for the last decade plus, thanks in large part to the excellent work of head coach Lisa Fortier. But after graduating ten players in the past two seasons, will the Zags manage to hang on and post another successful campaign in 2022-23?

Fortier joins the Locked on Zags podcast today, and we discuss the team's two newcomers - Brynna Maxwell and Destiny Burton - as well as the growth of sophomore forward Yvonne Ejim and the trip the Truong twins took to Vietnam over the summer.

Finally, Lisa also shares her thoughts on the transfer portal, NIL and Title IX after 50 years and the growth of women's basketball in recent years. Locked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.

Who will be the Gonzaga Bulldogs' rival if they jump ship to the Big East? Jul 04, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are going to face some tough decisions now that the Pac-12 is falling apart as a casualty of college football's conference realignment party. While it's unclear if the Pac-12, Mountain West, or Big East will be realistic destinations for Mark Few's squad, it does present a handful of new questions for the Spokane school.

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing Gonzaga's realignment concerns is just one of many topics covered, including:

Who will be Gonzaga's rival in the Big East?
Will the big budgets of the Big Ten and SEC dominate college basketball?
How many of Dom Harris, Nolan Hickman, and Hunter Sallis will be back for 23-24?
Could Efton Reid be the next Walker Kessler?
Is Dusty Stromer a potential one-and-done?
Will Braden Huff play as a freshman?

USC and UCLA to join Big Ten: What it means for the Gonzaga Bulldogs, the Pac-12, and the Big East Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

USC and UCLA are reportedly heading to the Big Ten, a seismic shift in college sports that will have far reaching implications, including for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The Pac-12 will never look the same again, especially if Oregon and Washington follow suit, which leaves a lot of questions for Zags fans: will Mark Few's squad finally join the Pac-12, or is it even worth it? Could this move push Gonzaga to try to join the Big East - especially if the rumor that Kansas is headed there is true? What about the Mountain West, or even just staying put in the WCC?

Today's episode looks one-by-one at Gonzaga's options in light of this realignment conversation, and comes to the conclusion that it is probably when, not if, for the Zags and joining the infamous Big East.

What the WCC's latest scheduling decision means for the future of the Gonzaga Bulldogs Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

The WCC voted against adding two more conference games, a big win for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Does this mean the Zags are staying in the WCC long-term, or could they still look to pursue a move to the Mountain West or even the Big East?

Today's episode also discusses the latest rumored addition to the non-conference schedule, a game against Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans on an aircraft carrier in San Diego, and discusses the non-conference schedule as a whole with a handful of games remaining.

Finally, we discuss the dream scenario to finish out Gonzaga's non-conference schedule, including adding teams like Arizona, Boise State, Washington State, and SeattleU.

2022 NBA draft analysis on Gonzaga Bulldogs stars Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 NBA draft saw two Gonzaga Bulldogs, Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard, find new homes with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers at No. 2 and No. 31, respectively. Mark Few has now head 17 players selected during his tenure in Spokane, and Holmgren became the highest Zag selected - passing Adam Morrison from 2006.

Today's episode is a discussion about Holmgren's fit in Oklahoma City and Nembhard's fit in Indiana, as well as a look at what the NBA draft analysts thought of each pick. Will Chet thrive alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey in OKC? Is Nembhard going to carve out a role as a true point guard in Indiana?

We end the show, and the week, discussing the other WCC player to get selected - Santa Clara guard Jalen Williams who went No. 12 to Oklahoma City. It may have been a bit of a reach, but Williams has the length and shooting ability to be a great NBA player. We also discuss Jamaree Bouyea who signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent, and Tommy Kuhse who will play for Orlando in the summer league.
