Talkin' Gonzaga Bulldogs hoops, transfer portal, NIL, and Taco Bell with former Zag Sam Dower May 27, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have a rich history of developing big men, and one of Mark Few and his staff's greatest success stories is Minnesota native Sam Dower, who spent three years in a reserve role before breaking out as a senior in 2013-2014. Sam joins the show to discuss his development at Gonzaga, how a kid from Minnesota ended up in Spokane (before it was cool) and he talks about his best friend, Kelly Olynyk, and the rise he took from non-prospect to 10-year NBA veteran.

Andy and Sam also discuss the transfer portal, Mark Few's legacy, and what Sam would demand from Taco Bell if he had NIL when he was at GU: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Gabriel Hughes, Gonzaga Bulldogs set to face LMU Lions in WCC Tournament May 26, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on the LMU Lions in the second round of the WCC Tournament after LMU defeated BYU late Wednesday night. Gabriel Hughes takes the hill for the Zags, who have a great shot at hosting a regional after Oregon lost to Arizona to begin the Pac-12 Tournament.

Today's episode previews the WCC Tournament, before diving into the program record nine Zags who were honored with WCC awards - including head coach Mark Machtolf, freshman Cade McGee, and shortstop Connor Coballes.

Finally, we end the show with a fan story submission, talking all about a chance encounter with Mark Few for a lifelong Gonzaga fan living in New Jersey.

Which Gonzaga Bulldogs could represent their countries in the 2024 Olympic Games May 25, 2022

Show notes

Two Gonzaga Bulldog legends, Kelly Olynyk and Kevin Pangos, are set to represent Canada as they prepare for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France. While having two former Zags representing Canada in the Olympics is an incredible accomplishment for Mark Few's program, one has to wonder if we will also see Brandon Clarke, Kyle Wiltjer, or Andrew Nembhard repping team Canada in the coming years.

Today's episode breaks down the Canadian Zags, and also takes a look at a few other Gonzaga alumni who could end up playing in the Olympics in a few short years.

The final two segments take a look at eight former Zags who finished successful basketball campaigns in Europe, including Filip Petrusev (who could be on his way to the NBA) and Pryzemek Karnowski, who returned after missing three seasons with a knee injury for his hometown team in Torun, Poland: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

2022 NBA draft: Why Gonzaga's Andrew Nembhard is a potential first round pick May 24, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 NBA draft combine took place last week, and Friday's biggest star was former Gonzaga Bulldogs point guard Andrew Nembhard, who had 26 points and 11 assists in the scrimmage. Nembhard has now gone from a likely undrafted player to a potential first round or early second round selection - a testament to the growth he had last year under coach Mark Few.

We break down Nembhard's game and likelihood of getting drafted in the first round in segment one, and in the second segment, we look at Gonzaga's offense on the baseball side, and what needs to change if they want to avoid an early-round exit in the regionals this year.

Finally, we end the show answering two listener-submitted questions, one about potential opponents Gonzaga could face in a regional, and another about the draft spot for right-handed pitcher Gabriel Hughes: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

The NBA draft combine and its potential impact on the Gonzaga Bulldogs 2022-2023 roster May 23, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 NBA draft combine took place last week, with four Gonzaga Bulldogs - Chet Holmgren, Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Andrew Nembhard - in participation. How did each Zag perform, and what does it all mean for their chances of returning to Mark Few's team in Spokane next season or pursuing the NBA draft?

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

Which non-Holmgren Zag will have the best NBA or International career?
Is Tyrese Hunter still in play via the transfer portal?
Is having a firm deadline to stay in the NBA draft a good idea?
A look at the most under and overrated seasons in Gonzaga history
Analyzing the two new additions to Gonzaga's women's program

What the NBA draft combine means for Drew Timme and Julian Strawther's future at Gonzaga May 20, 2022

Show notes

Four Gonzaga Bulldogs, Andrew Nembhard, Julian Strawther, Drew Timme, and Chet Holmgren, participated in at least part of the 2022 NBA draft combine this past week. Holmgren and Nembhard aren't coming back to Mark Few's squad next year, but Timme and Strawther's performance this week gives us some clues as to whether the pair will be back in Spokane next season or not.

Today's episode discusses what some of the results mean for our Zags. Strawther shot the heck out of the ball, but will his underwhelming measurements and the fact he didn't participate in the scrimmage hurt his draft stock? Timme played well in the scrimmage and has a very desirable wingspan, but his agility testing was subpar - so what does that mean?

The second segment is a seven minute interview with Gonzaga transfer Efton Reid, conducted by KREM's Brenna Greene. Reid talks about his time in the transfer portal and why he believes GU is the perfect fit for his game.

Finally, we end the week sharing a lovely story of passionate fandom for Gonzaga, starting with Ronny Turiaf's afro and ending with the passing of baseball associate head coach Danny Evans for Fan Story Friday: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Previewing the WCC Tournament for the Gonzaga Bulldogs Baseball program May 19, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs team have been one of the best stories in college baseball this season, heading into a weekend series against San Diego in first place in the WCC and on track to host a regional for the first time in school history.

Joining Locked on Zags today is Shotgun Spratling, who writes at D1Baseball.com and covers west coast college baseball. Shotgun and Andy talk about Gonzaga's emergence as a baseball powerhouse, the pitching of Gabriel Hughes, Tristan Vrieling, and William Kempner, and of course some words on the tragic passing of coach Danny Evans.

The pair also preview the upcoming series against the Toreros and the new-look WCC Tournament, which features six teams instead of four, and Shotgun tells us which teams to watch for in Omaha and why he believes college baseball is behind basketball and football for national relevance.

Show notes

The 2022 NBA draft lottery took place on Tuesday, and the Orlando Magic are the big winners. Will former Gonzaga Bulldogs stars Chet Holmgren and Suggs be reunited in Disney World? We take a look at the top five teams in the draft - Orlando followed by Oklahoma City, Houston, Sacramento, and Detroit - and how Holmgren would fit with each team.

Then, in the second segment, we look at the new team for Josh Perkins in Puerto Rico, the recent Spanish League championship won by Kyle Wiltjer, and two-time British Basketball League Geno Crandall and his success across the pond.

Finally, a review of Gonzaga's heartbreaking loss to the Oregon Ducks, and what it means for each team's chances of hosting a regional ahead of the final weekend of the regular season: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Show notes

Former Gonzaga basketball star Courtney Vandersloot is chasing the WNBA's all-time assist record after winning a championship last season with the Chicago Sky. How close will she get to league history this season, and will she ever catch Sue Bird?

Today's episode discusses Sloot's legacy in the WNBA and at Gonzaga, while also diving into the three Zags - Marco Gonzales, Wyatt Mills, and Eli Morgan - who are playing in MLB this season, and a short note about Reds right-hander Brandon Bailey and his recover from Tommy John surgery.

Finally, a preview of Gonzaga's Tuesday night matchup against the Oregon Ducks, and what it means for each team's chances of hosting a regional ahead of the final weekend of the regular season: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.
