BREAKING: Gonzaga forward Chauncey Wiggins INELIGIBLE after latest ruling! Will it ever end?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:47:57 GMT

Gonzaga Bulldogs suffer another brutal blow as Chauncey Wiggins is ruled ineligible—their projected starting forward joins Javon Bennett and others in "eligibility limbo" amid ongoing NCAA legal battles. With Mark Few’s roster depth vanishing and the offseason plagued by unpredictable court rulings and transfer setbacks, will the Zags' season be determined by lawyers instead of on-court performance?

Andy Patton unpacks how the latest Georgia Court of Appeals decision upends Gonzaga’s plans, examines shifting starting lineups without Wiggins and Bennett, and spotlights the impact of key players like Xaivian Lee and Davis Fogle. The episode also highlights a glimmer of hope with positive developments out of Arizona and St. John's, plus rising star Dooney Johnson powering optimism for Gonzaga’s future. Can Gonzaga weather this legal storm, or will more eligibility chaos derail their championship hopes?
