Brenna Greene says goodbye to Spokane and talks Gonzaga Bulldogs and conference realignment Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs saw three key players - Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton - all return to Spokane for next season, while Mark Few went out and added two big additions in Malachi Smith and Efton Reid.

Here to talk about her experience chatting with these five players after they made the decision to come (back) to Gonzaga is Brenna Greene, the former sports director at KREM and now a sports anchor at KOIN in Portland.

Brenna talks about her transition to Portland, her final story about Nolan Hickman and his brother, her favorite Gonzaga-related story, and her thoughts on conference realignment and where she - as a GU fan and alumni - would like to see the Zags end up conference wise in the future.

Brenna's story on Nolan Hickman: https://www.krem.com/article/sports/gonzaga/gonzaga-nolan-hickman-littlest-biggest-fan/293-0c6144f8-6c8e-4a9c-b4d0-52a05f8906eb

Breaking down how an NBA roster of Gonzaga Bulldogs would do over an 82 game season Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

The majority of the Gonzaga Bulldogs playing in the NBA met for dinner in Las Vegas during the NBA summer league last week, prompting Chet Holmgren to comment that he wished this was the squad he was rolling into his rookie season playing with.

That got us thinking - would a team of (mostly) NBA Zags be successful in the league if they were to suit up together for a full 82 game season?

Today's episode is a look at what a starting lineup would look like out of this group, how the minutes would be spread amongst the 13 players in question, and answers many other questions, including: Would this be a top-10 frontcourt? Who would play the wing positions? And who from Mark Few's current squad would be the most useful addition?

Those questions and more answered in today's show!

A look at the four Gonzaga Bulldogs participating in the 2022 NBA Summer League Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have four players participating in the NBA summer league: Chet Holmgren (Thunder) Andrew Nembhard (Pacers) Joel Ayayi (Hawks) and Filip Petrusev (76ers). While Holmgren and Nembhard are secure in their roster spots, Ayayi and Petrusev are fighting to begin the season on a roster and not in the G-League or overseas.

Today's episode is a look at how each of the four Zags have fared through the first week or so of summer league action. We've seen some highlight reel plays from Holmgren, but what are his areas of growth? Is Nembard's high turnover rate an issue? Will Ayayi and Petrusev show enough scoring prowess to stick this time around?

Those questions and more answered in today's show!

Will the Pac-12 survive conference realignment, and what that could mean for the Gonzaga Bulldogs Jul 11, 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:

Will the Pac-12 and Mountain West merge, and could GU get an invite?
How certain is Gonzaga to the Big East?
My dream 16-team college basketball super conference
Could Gonzaga just move basketball to the Big East?
Anton Watson's role in 22-23
How many Gonzaga Baseball players will get drafted?

And more!

Gonzaga Bulldogs to the Big East: The pros and the cons Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have threatened conference realignment before, and with the seismic shift taking place these days in the wake of UCLA and USC joining the Big Ten it seems even more likely they will be out of the WCC in the next few years,

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? Is it that bad to just stay put in the WCC?

Today's episode evaluates the pros and cons of each of the above three options, discussing things like tv revenue, travel, olympic sports, rivalries, and more!

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.

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.
