Gonzaga in the mix for an elite scoring transfer portal guard

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are hard at work looking for two distinct types of players in the transfer portal.

First on the list is a starting center and rim protector to play alongside Braden Huff, with Arizona State’s Massamba Diop the top choice, while Cincinnati’s Moustapha Thiam and Charlotte’s Anton Bonke are in the mix as well.

Next up is a sharpshooter guard who can fit into the backcourt rotation alongside returners Mario Saint-Supery and Davis Fogle, as well as newcomers Isiah Harwell and Jack Kayil.
