The ‘blue-blood’ programs that are mentioned are the Arizona Wildcats, UConn Huskies, Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, Indiana Hoosiers, Michigan Wolverines, and North Carolina Tar Heels. According to a report from CBS Sports’ […]

Five-star wing DeMarcus Henry, out of the 2027 recruiting class, has received an offer from the Gonzaga Bulldogs after assistant coach Stephen Gentry saw him compete at Nike EYBL in Memphis, Tennessee, over the weekend of May 15. Henry competes with Team Why Not, which is based out of Los Angeles, California. Along with the […]
In August of 2024, I published the first article I ever wrote for this site. It was a preview of Davis Fogle, Gonzaga’s most exciting incoming recruit, and I spent most of it arguing that fans should cool their expectations. Coach Mark Few rarely plays freshmen, I wrote. Fogle would probably come off the bench. […]
13 former Gonzaga Bulldogs suited up in the NBA this season, setting a new program record. As the 2026 playoffs get underway, seven of them punched postseason tickets, with one more agonizingly close to joining them. From a reigning champion hunting a repeat to a journeyman veteran soaking up garbage minutes on the hottest team […]
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have landed a commitment from Rider Broncs sophomore guard Emmy Roach, according to her Instagram. The Littlehampton, South Australia native averaged 6.6 points on 40.6 shooting from the field, 34.3 shooting from beyond the arc, and 70.8 shooting from the charity stripe. The six-footer also chipped in 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.0 […]
In a surprising decision, Alba Berlin combo guard Jack Kayil and his agents, Kevin Bradbury and Milan Nikolic, told DraftExpress’s Jonathan Givony that he’s staying in the 2026 NBA Draft. Technically, international players have until June 13 to withdraw, so his announcement coming much earlier than that makes one think that this is very much […]
I was lucky enough to get to visit Memphis last year, and while out playing tourist, somewhere between Graceland and Sun Records, I found myself in the back of an Uber driving past FedExForum. It was one of the rare moments in my life when I wasn’t thinking about Gonzaga basketball at all. Mostly, I […]
Heartbreaking report from ESPN’s Shams Charania as Gonzaga Bulldogs alum and Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke tragically passed away in Los Angeles, California, on Monday, May 11.

With the 2026-27 roster nearing completion, the focus from the Gonzaga Bulldogs has switched over to the international market. 6-10 forward/center Izan Almansa from Real Madrid has committed to the Zags, per La Xarxa’s Oscar Herreros. Another piece from Spain, with the help of assistant coach and Director of Basketball Operations Jorge Sanz, is added […]
Graham Ike is done at Gonzaga. He arrived in Spokane as a zero-star recruit from Aurora, Colorado, a high-upside gamble with a long injury history and a six-foot-nine frame that made scouts wonder if he was built to dominate the modern college game. Three seasons later, he left as one of the greatest players in […]
On a beautiful day at Benedetti Stadium, the home of the San Francisco Dons (22-26, 13-10 WCC), the Gonzaga Bulldogs (31-17, 18-5 WCC) clinched the West Coast Conference regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the upcoming West Coast Conference Tournament in Scottsdale, Arizona. This was Gonzaga’s first regular-season conference title since 2022. It […]

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will be playing in the 16-team bracket the week of Nov. 23, the week of Thanksgiving. ESPN is […]
Gonzaga Bulldogs great and two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year, 6-0 forward Yvonne Ejim, has a chance to make her home country’s WNBA team Toronto Tempo’s inaugural roster. The Calgary, Alberta, Canada, native last played with IDK Euskotren in San Sebastian, Spain, averaging 9.8 points on a shooting split of 50.3 percent on […]
Gonzaga Bulldogs fans have always had a soft spot for the walk-ons. Rem Bakamus and Dustin Triano became two of the most beloved Zags of their era without ever really seeing the floor. Mike Hart remains the gold standard of the walk-on success story at Gonzaga. Hart showed up in 2008 as an unknown from […]
The spring AAU circuit is upon us. 3Stripes Select Basketball serves as a grassroots platform for Adidas, and two of the Gonzaga Bulldogs’ coaching staff’s targets from the 2027 recruiting class are participating.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Graham Ike and freshman guard/wing transfer Isiah Harwell from the Houston Cougars have received an invite to the 2026 G League Combine. Both will have an opportunity to be invited to the 2026 NBA Combine with a strong performance, similar to how Dallas Mavericks lead guard Ryan Nembhard did last year. The […]
Mark Few has coached at Gonzaga for 27 years. In that time he’s had All-Americans, NBA lottery picks, and players who went on to become the best in the world at what they do. He’s never had anyone quite like Jalen Warley. That’s not hyperbole. That’s what Few said himself, out loud, at a postgame […]
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have scheduled coach Jon Scheyer and the Duke Blue Devils for Feb. 20, 2027, at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Yes, this high-level non-conference matchup will take place in the thick of the first-ever Pac-12 Conference play for the Zags. In their all-time history, the Blue Devils lead the series […]
Coach Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs lost Graham Ike to eligibility at the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign. His coaching staff came back with an immediate answer for the five-spot through the NCAA’s transfer portal. Arizona State Sun Devils freshman center Massamba Diop chose the Zags over coach Rick Pitino and the St. John’s […]
At roughly 5 o’clock on the evening of October 27th, 2025, Spokane County Judge Marla Polin granted incoming Gonzaga Bulldogs transfer, Tyon Grant-Foster, a preliminary injunction overruling the NCAA’s denial of his college basketball eligibility waiver. It was the legal equivalent of telling the sport’s governing body that no, actually, this man gets to play […]
The NBA announced that two Gonzaga commits, incoming sophomore guard/wing Isiah Harwell, along with 2026 combo guard Jack Kayil, will be testing the 2026 NBA Draft waters as early entry players.
