Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Gonzaga Bulldogs targeting 2024 point guard Zoom Diallo, who is set to visit Spokane September 9 Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have their sights set on Zoom Diallo, a 2024 point guard from Tacoma, Washington who is tentatively set to visit Spokane unofficially on September 9. Will he be next in a long line of Seattle-area high schoolers to become Zags, including Dan Dickau, Gary Bell, and Corey Kispert?

Today's episode begins with Sports Illustrated's Jason Jordan discussing who Diallo is as a player and what makes him a desirable fit at Gonzaga, and also discussing the Pro-Am events that many high school athletes have participated in this summer.

Then, a look at 247Sports' updated rankings for the class of 2023 - including Dusty Stromer, Wesley Yates, and Kaden Cooper's newest evaluations. Finally, the show ends with analysis of Gonzaga's former players participating in FIBA events this month: Jeremy Pargo for FIBA AmeriCup and Kelly Olynyk, Kevin Pangos, and Kyle Wiltjer for Team Canada.

3 bold predictions for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the 2022-23 college basketball season Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

The 2022-2023 Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball season is still a few months away, but with Mark Few's roster set it's time to make some bold predictions about individual players in Spokane.

Host Andy Patton makes three bold predictions, which includes analysis on Julian Strawther, Hunter Sallis, Braden Huff, Ben Gregg, Kaden Perry, and Gonzaga's starting lineup and rotation patterns. How will Few find playing time for the three young bigs behind Drew Timme, Anton Watson, and Efton Reid? Could Sallis jump into the draft conversation? Will Strawther's hot shooting help him do something that hasn't been done in nearly a decade?

All that and more!

Starting lineups, non-conference schedule, and Gonzaga to the Big East rumors with John Fanta Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few will have plenty of options to craft a starting lineup and rotation during the upcoming 2022-23 college basketball season, with newcomers Efton Reid and Malachi Smith joining a packed group of returners in Spokane. Could they get the No. 1 ranking again in the preseason, or will North Carolina be the pick?

Joining me to discuss preseason rankings, lineups, rotations, and much more is John Fanta of Fox Sports and the Field of 68. John and I breakdown Gonzaga's lineup and ridiculously challenging non-conference schedule, while also looking at conference realignment, specifically discussing how important it is for Gonzaga to find somewhere other than the WCC to play and why the Big East makes a lot of sense.

J.P. Batista returns to Gonzaga Bulldogs, joins Mark Few's staff as graduate assistant Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs added J.P. Batista, one of the program's greatest transfers and international stars, back to the staff as a graduate assistant after he retired from his excellent 16-year playing career spent primarily in France. Batista was teammates with Brian Michaelson and Stephen Gentry under coach Mark Few back in 2005, and now he will help GU's big men while learning the ropes of coaching at this level.

Today's episode not only discusses Batista's impact, but we take a look at the women's basketball video coordinator, former Zag Haiden Palmer, while discussing David Stockton's return to the FIBA qualifiers and Eric McClellan's new contract over in Romania.

Finally, we close out the show with Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated joining us to discuss Wesley Yates listing Gonzaga inside his top nine and 2024 two-way guard prospect Jamari Phillips including Gonzaga in his top six.

John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats are coming to Spokane to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats will take each other on at the Spokane Arena in November, adding another incredible opponent to Mark Few's non-conference schedule. John Calipari made it very clear they won't be playing at The Kennel, however, preferring to play the game at the bigger Spokane Arena.

We discuss Calipari's unwillingness (fear?) of playing in an arena with 6,000 seats, as well as the excellent matchup between Drew Timme and Oscar Tshiebwe and how an AP Player of the Year facing a two-time AP All-American is great for the sport, with NIL being the biggest reason this is happening.

Finally, we close the show discussing SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey's comments asking for potential expansion of the NCAA Tournament, and the growing concern the league may try to do away with the automatic qualifier for every D-1 conference - which would be a devastating blow to the countries greatest sporting event.

Discussing the Gonzaga Bulldogs recruiting targets in the Class of 2023 and 2024 Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have been busy the last few weeks on the recruiting trail, putting out multiple offers for both the class of 2023 and 2024. Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated joins the show today to discuss 2023 prospect Kaden Cooper, who listed the Zags in his top ten, as well as high level recruits Mookie Cook, Wesley Yates, JJ Taylor, and a new target for GU: Jacob McFarland.

Finally, we close out the show discussing a pair of targets for Few in the class of 2024: Dedan Thomas, a point guard from Julian Strawther's high school in Nevada, and Carter Bryant, who attended the Formula Zero camp alongside Hunter Sallis and Cooper.

After adding Kentucky, is this the toughest non-conference schedule the Gonzaga Bulldogs have ever had? Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats will take each other on at the Spokane Arena in November, adding another incredible opponent to Mark Few's non-conference schedule. With Kentucky joining Baylor, Texas, Michigan State, Alabama, Washington, and the rest of the PK85 on the schedule, the question must be asked: Is this the Zags most difficult non-conference schedule ever?

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing the non-conference schedule is just one of many topics covered, including:

Who should start, Nolan Hickman or Hunter Sallis?
Three different starting lineup predictions, including one no one is talking about
Kaden Perry's health and outlook for 22-23
How many Zags will get selected in the 2023 NBA draft?
Where does The Kennel rank among toughest places to play?
Gonzaga women's basketball non-conference schedule

Drafting a dream college basketball specific super conference for the Gonzaga Bulldogs Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

Conference realignment remains the primary talking point across the NCAA this summer, but it primarily focuses on the SEC and Big Ten and college football, leaving the Gonzaga Bulldogs on the outside looking in. But what if conferences were determined by basketball?

That's what Locked on Zags host Andy Patton and Locked on Tar Heels host Isaac Shade aim to figure out in today's episode, where they take turns drafting their dream 12-team super-conference concerned only with men's basketball.

With Gonzaga and North Carolina spoken for, the pair dive into the rest of college basketball's blue bloods. See where Duke, Kentucky, and defending champion Kansas end up, and which new rivalries could come out of these conferences. Will Mark FEw and Tommy Lloyd be forced to play each other every year? Is the Duke-UNC rivalry dead? What about Kentucky and Louisville? How many west coast teams make the top-24?

All that and more in today's show!

How the Gonzaga Bulldogs could use their open scholarship for the 2022-23 season Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Martynas Arlauskas is leaving the Gonzaga Bulldogs program after three seasons in Spokane, taking an opportunity to play professionally overseas. We celebrate Arlauskas' time with the Zags, while discussing what an open roster spot means in the month of August, and how Mark Few might attempt to utilize more room on the roster.

Then, in the second segment, we take a look at the WCC schedule which came out on Tuesday. The Zags open the conference slate with Pepperdine on New Year's Eve, and close with an epic senior night battle against Saint Mary's in The Kennel - which should be an all-timer.

Finally, we close out the show discussing Chet Holmgren's dominance at The Crawsover pro-am, Courtney Vandersloot's quest to lead the WNBA in assists, and the new contracts signed overseas by Jordan Mathews and Geno Crandall.
