Gonzaga’s Transfer Portal CHAOS Might Not Matter After Keeping Core, Future Bright for NEW Pac-12

Gonzaga Basketball is heading into one of the most fascinating offseason transitions in recent memory. After losing multiple rotation players and veterans through graduation and the transfer portal, many fans are wondering if Mark Few and the Bulldogs are finally vulnerable entering the new Pac-12 era. But despite all the roster turnover, Gonzaga may still have one of the best teams in college basketball heading into the 2026 season. On this episode of Pac-12 Daily, Christian Rauh is joined by Andy Patton of Locked On Zags to break down Gonzaga’s offseason, transfer portal additions, breakout candidates, and what this roster could look like in the new Pac-12 Conference. The discussion dives into the departures of players like Emmanuel Innocenti, Braden Smith, and Steele Venters, while also explaining why Gonzaga prioritized keeping Brayden Huff, Davis Fogle, and Mario Saint-Supery as the core of the future. The episode also explores why Davis Fogle could become one of college basketball’s biggest breakout stars next season and how Gonzaga’s incoming transfer class, including Arizona State center Massamba Diop and former Houston guard Isaiah Harwell, could elevate the Bulldogs back into national championship contention. Gonzaga’s rim protection, roster balance, three-point shooting concerns, and NCAA Tournament ceiling are all discussed in detail. Additionally, the conversation examines Mark Few’s future as Gonzaga prepares for life in the Pac-12. With Few approaching 800 career wins and entering the Hall of Fame, questions are beginning to surface about how much longer he plans to coach and what Gonzaga basketball could look like after his eventual retirement.
