Gonzaga figures to have a busy offseason and it started quickly Monday with sophomore wing Dusty Stromer planning to enter the transfer portal.

On3.com’s Joe Tipton was first to report Stromer’s decision. College basketball’s transfer portal opened Monday and will close April 22.

“First, I want to express my sincere gratitude to my family, Gonzaga University and the incredible fans who have supported me throughout my two years in Spokane,” Stromer wrote in an Instagram post. “After much thought and consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal to explore new opportunities for my academic and athletic future.

It’s not easy, but this is where the most growth happens so I’m just kind of embracing it and trying to improve as much as I can.”
