West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins uttered a homophobic slur on a Cincinnati radio show Monday morning, could it cost him his job and could it lead to some of his players, including former Gonzaga target Jesse Edwards, reentering the NCAA transfer portal?

We close out the show discussing Andrew Nembhard getting snubbed from the All Rookie Second Team, missing out by one vote to Houston's Tari Eason, a player Nembhard outscored and outshot during his rookie year with the Indiana Pacers. We also discuss who will make the All Rookie Team from Gonzaga next year.

Gonzaga Bulldogs NCAA transfer portal targets: Center David Mouka and Point Guard Rylan Jones May 08, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have a couple roster spots to fill before the 2023-24 college basketball season, and today we look at a pair of players out of the Mountain West conference Mark Few's team could pursue in the NCAA transfer portal.

First we discuss UNLV center David Mouka, who would add experience, rebounding, and rim protection behind Anton Watson, Graham Ike, and Ben Gregg in GU's frontcourt.

Then we discuss Utah State point guard Rylan Jones, a former four-star recruit whose career has been hampered by injuries. Could Jones' facilitation skills and solid outside shooting work for the Bulldogs in a third or fourth guard role?

We close out the show discussing the Gonzaga women's basketball program, where a group of four athletes (Yvonne Ejim, Brynna Maxwell, Calli Stokes, and Esther Little) participated in a 3x3 tournament and beat programs like Tennessee, Creighton, and Utah before falling to Duke in the quarterfinals.

Gonzaga Bulldogs transfer portal target: Oral Roberts center Connor Vanover | Sabonis gets MVP votes May 05, 2023

Show notes

Connor Vanover started his college career at Cal, played two years at Arkansas, and dominated at Oral Roberts last year before entering the NCAA transfer portal. At 7'3 and with over three blocks per game last year, could he be the answer for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who desperately need rim protection?

Efton Reid joins Hunter Sallis at Wake Forest, meaning all three Zags who entered the portal now have new homes. Will Reid get a waiver to play right away for Steve Forbes and the Demon Deacons, and what kind of role might he have in the ACC next season?

We close out the show discussing Domantas Sabonis, who picked up MVP votes this season after dominating with the Sacramento Kings. How much has he helped reframe the conversation about Zag players struggling in the NBA, and will that reputation ever fully die?

Gonzaga Bulldogs transfer portal target: WSU forward DJ Rodman | Dominick Harris lands at LMU May 04, 2023

Show notes

Washington State forward DJ Rodman, son of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, has hit the NCAA transfer portal, could a move from Pullman to Spokane to join Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs be in the cards? Rodman shot 38% from deep last year and is a tenacious defender and dirty work player, a nice fit for a team needing to replace Hunter Sallis.

Dominick Harris is staying in the WCC, joining LMU after a visit to BYU did not result in an offer. Stan Johnson has added five players via the portal, including four guards, making playing time a question for Harris in his fourth year of college.

We close out the show discussing the women's basketball team, who are sending four players to an Olympic 3x3 tournament in Colorado this month. Speaking of Colorado, former Zag guard Taelor Karr is now an assistant with the Buffs.

Rasir Bolton's legacy in Spokane will last far beyond his time with the Gonzaga Bulldogs May 03, 2023

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Rasir Bolton completed his final year of college eligibility and will look to pursue a professional career either in the NBA or overseas. We discuss Bolton's legacy in Spokane, which includes his incredible charitable work with Rick Clark and the homeless community, as well as his performance on the court.

We then discuss his professional playing career aspirations. Bolton was invited to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, will that lead to an invite to the NBA draft combine? Can he get drafted? Will he play in the NBA or overseas?

Grant Nelson is the unicorn of the transfer portal, does he fit at Gonzaga? | Tre Woodbury profile May 02, 2023

Show notes

North Dakota State star forward Grant Nelson entered the NCAA transfer portal. Nelson's ability to stretch the floor, handle the ball, and protect the rim make him one of college basketball's biggest unicorns, and Mark Few and Gonzaga know how to handle these kind of players. Could he be a fit in Spokane despite the Bulldogs crowded frontcourt?

There's no doubt the Zags have a greater need in the guard room, and Utah Valley graduate transfer Tre Woodbury might be a perfect fit in the Malachi Smith mold, having played a big role for the Wolverines and emerging as a sharpshooter.

We close out the show discussing Taran Armstrong, who ended up not transferring up and instead will play next year in the NBL. Is this good or bad for college hoops?

Aziz Bandaogo is the PERFECT transfer portal target for Gonzaga | Updates on Efton Reid & Dom Harris May 01, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs made huge transfer portal additions in Ryan Nembhard and Graham Ike last week, but with spots remaining it makes sense for Mark Few to continue to pursue players to bring to Spokane. Today we discuss Utah Valley center Aziz Bandaogo, who replaced Fardaws Aimaq and finished third in the entire NCAA in blocks last year. He's a double transfer so he might have to sit out a year, which could make him even more appealing to Mark Few's team.

Speaking of double transfers, Efton Reid is currently deciding between joining Hunter Sallis at Wake Forest or transferring back to his hometown and playing at VCU, where he would almost certainly get a waiver. Why is the system set up to punish transfers unless they play closer to home? The NCAA's inconsistent policing of double transfers needs to change.

We close out the show discussing Dominick Harris, who is planning to visit BYU and now has a connection at Cal after his girlfriend, former Gonzaga wing McKayla Williams, transferred to join the Golden Bears.

Gonzaga Bulldogs transfer portal target: Toledo guard RayJ Dennis | Zags history in the NFL Draft Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs made huge transfer portal additions in Ryan Nembhard and Graham Ike last week, but with spots remaining it makes sense for Mark Few to continue to pursue players to bring to Spokane. Today we discuss Toledo point guard RayJ Dennis, who entered the portal on Wednesday and immediately ranked third among available players. Dennis played for Gonzaga assistant coach RJay Barsh at Boise State, can that connection help bring him to Spokane?

The NFL Draft is this weekend, and we throw it back to 2014 when a former Zag - Demetri Goodson - was drafted in the sixth round by the Green Bay Packers after he spent three years playing defensive back at Baylor.

We close out the show discussing the Gonzaga baseball team and their current four game losing streak, and how they can break the trend at home this weekend against Pacific.

Gonzaga's Anton Watson declares for 2023 NBA Draft | Hunter Sallis transfers to Wake Forest Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Anton Watson is among the five Zags who declared early for the 2023 NBA draft, joining Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, Malachi Smith, and Steele Venters. We look at reasons why Watson should return to Spokane, even after Mark Few's team added Graham Ike, and why it makes sense for him to go through the draft process and hear from scouts and analysts.

We then discuss the other four NBA draft entrants and give odds on whether they will be back in Spokane next season or if they will remain in the draft process and what that could look like for each of them.

We close out the show discussing Hunter Sallis transferring to Wake Forest, where he will play under Steve Forbes. Forbes turned transfer guards Alondes Williams into the ACC Player of the year and Tyree Appleby into a All-ACC player, can he do the same with Sallis? And where will Efton Reid and Dominick Harris end up?

Gonzaga Bulldogs transfer portal targets: FSU center Naheem McLeod & UT-A guard Chendall Weaver Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs made huge transfer portal additions in Ryan Nembhard and Graham Ike last week, but with spots remaining it makes sense for Mark Few to continue to pursue players to bring to Spokane. Today we discuss former Florida State center Naheem McLeod, a 7'4 shot blocking machine with untapped offensive potential who assistant coach Rjay Barsh is trying to bring out west.

The Zags haven't yet been connected to UT-Arlington transfer guard Chendall Weaver, but he was the WAC Freshman of the Year last year and would give the Bulldogs reliable outside shooting off the bench and a developmental prospect.

We close out the show discussing what's next for the Lady Zags, who still added Naya Ojukwu from Utah and lost McKayla Williams to the portal.
