As the transfer portal closed for college basketball players on Wednesday night, the best news for Gonzaga fans was no news at all. 

Gonzaga has apparently zeroed in on a talented veteran guard from the SEC as the Bulldogs look to round out their roster and add more depth to the backcourt ahead of the 2024-25 college basketball season.

Anton Watson has found new representation as the former Gonzaga forward enters the first stages of his professional basketball career.

Luka Krajnovic, a freshman guard who saw reserve minutes off Gonzaga’s bench in 2023-24, became the team’s latest, and potentially last, addition to the transfer portal.

The official list of NBA Draft early entrants was released Tuesday and it contained no surprises for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. As expected, Michael Ajayi, the Pepperdine transfer who committed to Gonzaga in March, is the only Zag among nearly 200 early entrants.

Corey Kispert never dreamed of playing in the NBA. Growing up in Edmonds, Washington, a city of 42,758 nestled among the grand firs north of Seattle, he did what most athletic kids do and played whatever was in season. Football, baseball, basketball, golf and track practice occupied his after-school hours, not trips to far-flung AAU tournaments. His favorite sport changed like the wind. Usually, it was whatever he was best at that month.

Pavle Stosic, who played limited minutes in Gonzaga’s deep frontcourt rotation, has entered the transfer portal, according to the Verbal Commits.

Nearly one month after announcing his commitment to Gonzaga, Pepperdine transfer Michael Ajayi has taken the next step toward joining Mark Few’s roster in 2024-25, signing a financial aid agreement.

Cade Orness, a prolific prep scorer who set the career points record during his time at North Kitsap High School, is joining Gonzaga's roster as a walk-on next season.

One of the top recruits in the state of Washington has apparently made a strong impression on Mark Few and his coaching staff at Gonzaga.

After working to replace six players who graduated, left school for the NBA or transferred away from Gonzaga last offseason, Mark Few and his coaching staff shouldn’t have to spend as much time rebuilding or retooling the Bulldogs’ roster this summer.
