PERFECT FIT: Why Gonzaga should TARGET transfer portal guard Tijan Saine from Weber State

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 28 May 2026 23:58:05 GMT

Gonzaga Bulldogs face pressing offseason questions as Mark Few’s roster looks thin on guards and three-point shooters.

X-FACTOR: Can transfer Isiah Harwell BREAK OUT and secure Gonzaga's backcourt next season?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 27 May 2026 21:24:50 GMT

Isiah Harwell officially signs with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, putting the spotlight on his potential breakout sophomore season. With Jack Kayil staying in the NBA Draft, Harwell emerges as the likely starting shooting guard, but can he overcome last year’s injury woes and bolster Gonzaga’s backcourt depth? Andy Patton explores how Harwell’s recovery and development may shape the team’s ceiling, and what recent transfer portal activity means for the roster.

Rising star Luca Foster arrives early in Spokane, raising questions about his immediate impact as a true freshman. Patton breaks down Foster’s skillset, compares him to standout Davis Fogle, and discusses Gonzaga’s recruiting wins—including 2027 commit Dooney Johnson and priority targets like DeMarcus Henry and Jalen Davis. With ESPN updating its recruiting class rankings and the transfer market still in flux, the Bulldogs’ off-season moves could define their place in the upcoming college basketball landscape.

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 26 May 2026 22:53:36 GMT

Gonzaga Bulldogs target elite outside shooting with eyes on transfer wing Scotty Middleton. Could his arrival be the missing piece for Mark Few’s squad after last season’s three-point struggles? Andy Patton breaks down Middleton’s statistical profile, including his 39% career mark from beyond the arc across Ohio State, Seton Hall, and Tulane.

The episode explores Middleton’s projected fit within Gonzaga’s rotation, the Zags’ urgent need for reliable wing shooters, and how Middleton compares to former sharpshooters like Steele Venters and Nolan Hickman. Additional discussion includes which programs—San Diego State, Wichita State, and LSU—should also be in the hunt for Middleton’s services as international roster uncertainty looms.

Plus, Andy Patton reviews Braeden Smith’s unique legacy at Gonzaga, highlighting his selfless redshirt year and key performances during a transitional season. Can the Zags shore up their perimeter game and depth before the new-look Pac-12 campaign begins?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 21 May 2026 23:20:44 GMT
