September 28, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 21.9 MBThe Pac-2 and Mountain West have tossed around the idea of a promotion/relegation system, which could be appealing to Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs if they end up doing it for college basketball.

NCAA Tournament expansion necessary to avoid Power-5 separation, which would devastate Gonzaga
September 15, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 22.2 MBThe NCAA Tournament is in danger, with Power-5 programs looking toward a future where they break away from the NCAA and form their own tournament to avoid having to play mid-major programs.

Gonzaga adds a walk-on guar...

September 01, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 26.2 MBThe Gonzaga Bulldogs have six rotation spots locked up between returners Anton Watson, Nolan Hickman, and Ben Gregg and transfer portal additions Ryan Nembhard, Steele Venters, and Graham Ike.

The case for Gonzaga moving to the Mountain West Conference | G-League Ignite signs trio of Zags
August 31, 2023 18:48 - 29 minutes - 23.7 MBConference realignment is settling for now, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs remain in the WCC. The Big 12 is no longer interested, and unless the Big East makes a move it sounds like Mark Few's team will be choosing between staying in the West Coast Conference or potentially joining the Mountain West, should they get invited.

The UConn Huskies also remain in the Big East, leaving the conference at 11 schools - could they consider looking out west to add Mark Few's team from Spokane? We discuss the pros and cons of a move to the Big East for Gonzaga, including how the institution aligns with Big East schools, whether the money would outweigh the increased travel costs, what it means for women's basketball, baseball, and soccer...

August 09, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 26.2 MBConference realignment continues to be a talking point in college athletics, with Stanford and Cal now being considered by the ACC in what would be a wild coast-to-coast conference. If all else fails, could the WCC step up and try to house Stanford and Cal's non-football sports? Would Stanford go for that? What other options might the WCC have to expand this go-round? A pair of guards became available via the NCAA transfer portal that could be of interest to Gonzaga in Mike Meadows, who pla...

If Pac-12, AAC, and Mountain West merge, what would their pitch to the Gonzaga Bulldogs look like?
August 04, 2023 17:03 - 32 minutes - 25.9 MBThe Pac-12 is hanging on by a thread (as of this writing) but if we assume Oregon and Washington leave for the Big Ten and the Arizona schools and Utah join Colorado in the Big-12, what will that all mean for the Gonzaga Bulldogs? Today we present a (fake) pitch meeting to Mark Few, Zags AD Chris Standiford, and Gonzaga President Thayne McCullough regarding a new conference, Pac West, which would include the four remaining Pac-12 schools (Stanford, Cal, Oregon State, and Washington State) a...
Should Gonzaga Bulldogs pursue transfer guard Boogie Coleman? | Could Paul Mulcahy leave Washington?
August 02, 2023 16:39 - 26 minutes - 21.3 MBThe NCAA transfer portal never stops, and another solid mid-major guard just became available in Boogie Coleman, who graduated from Ball State and will hit the portal. Coleman averaged 14 per game last year while shooting 35% from three, could he be a target for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs? Speaking of transfers, reports indicate there is a transfer who is unhappy at his new home in the PNW. Most believe it is Paul Mulcahy, the former Rutgers point guard who went to Washington. Gonzag...
Best case scenario for Gonzaga Bulldogs and conference realignment? | Kaden Perry's role | Mailbag!
July 31, 2023 23:36 - 33 minutes - 26.6 MBConference realignment is once again the big talking point in college athletics, with the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the middle of conversations surrounding the Big-12's continued expansion as well as what looks like the Pac-12's impending demise. Is Gonzaga a target still for the Big 12, or has UConn and Memphis passed them on the pecking order? And, if the Big 12 isn't interested, does that mean the desperate Pac-12 could come calling? Would Mark Few and the Zags even want that? What about the B...

Gonzaga now has 10 of their 14 non-con games scheduled, with the rest primarily looking like tune-up opponents, although one more marquee game would match last year's total - perhaps Baylor, or BYU, or Xavier will answer the call? We close out the show discussing true home-and-home series a...

July 26, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 21.5 MBMark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are hosting 2024 power forward prospect Asa Newell in Spokane this week. Newell is the top ranked power forward in the country out of Montverde Academy, where Filip Petrusev and both Ryan and Andrew Nembhard went to school. If the Zags can land Newell and fellow 2024 target Zoom Diallo, would it be the best recruiting class in school history? Conference realignment dominated the college sports, and Gonzaga discourse for months, but with college football app...

Marcus Adams Jr. is DREAM addition for Mark Few and Gonzaga Bulldogs | Predicting minutes for Zags

Adams, the No. 48 ranked prospect in the Class of 2023, is an excellent replacement for Alex Toohey as a developmental piece on Gonzaga's bench, especially since he might have to sit out next season if the NCAA does not grant him a waiver. The Zags did lose out on another portal target...
Zags target Marcus Adams Jr reportedly schedules visit to Gonzaga | Chet Holmgren: Future Olympian?
July 21, 2023 18:55 - 29 minutes - 23.4 MBMarcus Adams Jr is reportedly visiting the Gonzaga Bulldogs, after hitting the transfer portal before even playing a game with the Kansas Jayhawks. Adams, the No. 48 ranked prospect in the Class of 2023, would be an excellent replacement for Alex Toohey as a developmental piece on Gonzaga's bench, especially since he might have to sit out next season if the NCAA does not grant him a waiver. The Zags still have five games to add to their non-conference schedule, we take a look at the gauntl...
Anton Watson or Mitchell Saxen? Aidan Mahaney or Ryan Nembhard? Drafting an all-WCC team for 2023-24
July 20, 2023 19:55 - 31 minutes - 25.1 MBThe West Coast Conference saw a lot of talented players depart this past season, including co-players of the year Drew Timme and Brandin Podziemski, as well as Julian Strawther, Maxwell Lewis, Khalil Shabazz, Kyle Bowen, and Cam Shelton.

Chet Holmgren's dominance, Drew Timme's limited role, and more from Gonzaga's Summer League performers
July 19, 2023 19:20 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBThe Gonzaga Bulldogs had seven players participate in the 2023 Las Vegas NBA Summer League. Some have plenty of job security, like Andrew Nembhard with the Indiana Pacers and Chet Holmgren with the Oklahoma City Thunder, while others are fighting for a role on next year's squad, like Julian Strawther and Filip Petrusev for Denver and Philadelphia, respectively. Additionally, some didn't get a particularly fair shake at playing time, including Drew Timme who barely played for the Milwaukee B...

Adams would be an excellent replacement for Alex Toohey as a developmental piece on Gonzaga's bench, if he is inclined to join a team where he won't play big minutes in Year 1. We also take a look back on my bold predictions from last season, including conversation on Julian Strawther, Hunter Sallis, Braden...

Then, we discuss Chris Ledlum, a former Harvard forward who committed to Tennessee back in March but recently decommitted and is now available again. Gonzaga pursued L...

July 14, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 24.4 MBMark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are looking for another guard in the NCAA transfer portal, with connections made to Jose Perez (West Virginia) and Jeremiah Williams (Iowa State) but if those fall through, could Boston College guard Demarr Langford be a target? Langford is a 6'5 guard who posted solid defensive numbers in the ACC, and while he's not much of a shooter he could fill a valuable role for the Zags in Spokane next season. We are then joined by Matthew Walter to discuss Lisa Fort...
Is the Big 12 conference still interested in Gonzaga Bulldogs? | Filip Petrusev's NBA dream realized
July 13, 2023 18:25 - 26 minutes - 21.3 MBThe Gonzaga Bulldogs remain a potential target for Brett Yormark and the Big 12 conference, but the latest rumors primarily revolve around East coast programs like UConn, St. John's, and even Syracuse.
