A Look At The Gonzaga Men's Basketball

The Gonzaga Bulldogs had five players
who graduated along with six that 
transferred out. That sounds a lot 
for a program that has been successful 
for so many years. The downfall is
that they have never won a national 
championship.

This coming season they will be
joining the new Pac-12 in college
basketball moving from the West
Coast Conference where they have
had much success.

Most of the other new teams to the 
Pac-12  are out of Mountain West.
Many successful mid majors have
been in college basketball. Just 
look at the NCAA tournament.  With
the transfer portal it could be difficult 
in the future.

Braden Huff who most of the conference 
season is the best player to return. He
was quite affective coming off the bench
his first two years. Him and Graham Ike 
who graduated were affective duo before
Huff was hurt.

Up front starting with Huff will be Massamba
Diop a transfer from Arizona State a 7'1
center. 

The Zags will likely go with three guards
in the starting lineup.  Two of the guards
had very good freshman seasons for
the Zags. Mario Saint-Supery will be the 
point guard while Davis Fogle  wil be one
of the shooting guards. The third member
of the trio is Isiah Harwell a transfer from
Houston. He to is a sophomore as well.

Sam Funches is a 7'0 freshman who will
come in to spell Diop. Another freshman 
is Luca Foster  who is a guard coming
in to give points. Another is Parker Jefferson 
a strong forward who can spell Huff.

Izan Almansa is another big man that will 
be among the mix up front. He formerly 
played for Real Madrid.

The Zags have targeted some other
players to so see what comes during 
the summer months.  Go Zags!
