Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Mailbag Monday: Drew Timme's future, Kaden Perry's health, and NIL's impact on the Gonzaga Bulldogs Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have yet to add a player from the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, while having only one recruit committed for 2022. Of course, the team is also returning potential stars like Hunter Sallis, Nolan Hickman, Julian Strawther, and Anton Watson, so is the lack of incoming talent really an issue?

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing the options available via the transfer portal is one of just many topics discussed in the episode, including:

Is NIL hurting Gonzaga on the recruiting trail?
Did Oscar Tsiebwe make it more likely Drew Timme will return for the Zags?
Is Kaden Perry's injury going to be around long term?
Thoughts on LSU transfer Efton Reid as a fit for GU
Thoughts about the passing of Jeremy Eaton and Danny Evans

Chet Holmgren, Andrew Nembhard say goodbye to Gonzaga Apr 22, 2022

Show notes

Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard, two of the Gonzaga Bulldogs' star players, officially declared for the 2022 NBA draft. Neither player will be returning to the Zags, leaving Mark Few's squad short at two key positions heading into 2022-2023.

We dig into that in the first segment, before discussing the Gonzaga baseball team's split with Oregon State last week and highest ranking in program history in the second segment, and share a nice story from a longtime listener to end the week. https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

With Jay Wright's retirement, is Gonzaga's Mark Few the best active NCAA head coach? Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Villanova head coach and Hall of Famer Jay Wright retired unexpectedly on Tuesday, leaving Gonzaga Bulldogs' coach Mark Few as one of - if not the most - accomplished active college basketball head coach in the NCAA. How does he compare to still-active legends like Jim Boeheim, Bill Self, and Tom Izzo?

We dig into that in the first segment, before discussing Kaden Perry's back surgery, some transfer portal rumors (could Jermaine Couisnard or Kendric Davis join the Zags?) as well as meeting the newest member of the women's basketball team, and discussing some updates around the rest of the WCC. https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Gonzaga Bulldogs season in review: Guard Nolan Hickman Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are very likely losing two starting guards, Andrew Nembhard and Rasir Bolton, from last year's team that made the Sweet 16. Mark Few and the staff are adept at finding key contributors via the NCAA transfer portal, but the Zags don't need to look any further than their own bench to find starters for next year in Nolan Hickman and Hunter Sallis.

Here at Locked on Zags, our season-in-review series is underway, and the eighth episode in the series is all about Hickman. We take a look at his performance as a freshman, which included an outstanding first 18 games (7.4 points, 39.7% three point shooting) and a disastrous final 14 games, where he only averaged two points and went 1-20 on three point attempts. We also discuss his future, and the future of the Gonzaga program if he is the man running the point next year. More here: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags

Gonzaga Bulldogs season in review: Forward Julian Strawther Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Julian Strawther officially declared for the 2022 NBA draft on Monday, while maintaining his NCAA eligibility. Is the star shooter on his way out the door, or could he return to Mark Few's squad to take on a bigger role in the offense during the 2022-2023 season?

Here at Locked on Zags, our season-in-review series is underway, and the seventh episode in the series is all about Strawther, hoping to answer some of those key questions. We take a look at his excellent sophomore season, including the highs (20 against Duke) and the lows (1-14 from three in the NCAA Tournament). We also discuss his future, and the future of the Gonzaga program if he is truly out the door. More here: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have yet to add a player from the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, while having only one recruit committed in each of the 2022 and 2022 classes. Of course, the team is also returning potential stars like Hunter Sallis, Nolan Hickman, Julian Strawther, and Anton Watson, so is the lack of incoming talent really an issue?

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing the options on the portal is one of just many topics discussed in the episode, including:

Could Rasir Bolton return to GU?
Is NIL hurting Gonzaga on the recruiting trail?
Who is the best dunker in Zags history?
Who will have a better sophomore year, Sallis or Hickman?
Is Nigel Pack a fit for Gonzaga next year?

Gonzaga Bulldogs season in review: Guard Martynas Arlauskas Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs may only play an eight man rotation, but Mark Few's squad has a ton of talented players waiting in the wings. With the NCAA transfer portal allowing athletes to explore their options, it is always nice to see reserve players stick around and become stewards of the program - which is what makes a guy like Lithuanian guard Martynas Arlauskas so special.

Here at Locked on Zags, our season-in-review series is underway, and the sixth episode in the series is all about Arlauskas. We take a look at his season and really his entire career as a whole. He only played 57 minutes this year, but we got to see a more aggressive version of Arlauskas - while he maintained his role as a hype man on the bench and friend to Drew Timme. Will he come back for his fourth season, or could he depart for more playing time via the portal? Find out here: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are working the phones, getting connected to high-level transfer portal players like Johni Broome, Kenneth Lofton, Jahmir Young, and Jermaine Couisnard.

Gonzaga Bulldogs season in review: Center Drew Timme Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

Drew Timme announced last Thursday he is declaring for the NBA Draft, while hiring an NCAA approved agent which would allow him to return to Gonzaga if he wanted. Timme's decision will have huge ramifications for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, and they are already hitting the transfer portal looking to replace the two-time All-American star.

Here at Locked on Zags, our season-in-review series is underway, and the fifth episode in the series is all about Drew Timme. We take a look at his season as a whole, how he played alongside Chet Holmgren, while reviewing his best and worst case scenarios from before the year began, and of course discussing his future. Does he have a real chance to get drafted into the NBA? Could he play in Europe first? What are the realistic chances he returns to Spokane? Find out here: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags
