Gonzaga roster ranked among nation’s best by EvanMiya

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs lost 11 players from last year’s team that went 31-4 and earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The trio of forward Braden Huff, wing Davis Fogle, and point guard Mario Saint-Supery is among the best group of returners in all of college basketball, and those three – along with a pair of highly regarded transfer portal additions – have Gonzaga’s roster ranked among the best in college basketball.

Popular college basketball analytics site EvanMiya.com has a roster outlook tool that ranks a team’s roster as currently constructed, placing added emphasis on players returning to their current schools. Gonzaga’s roster as of today ranks between 4-9 overall, with an offense between 5-9 and a defense between 7-12.

Gonzaga’s projected three best players are all returners, with Saint-Supery at the top, followed by Huff and Fogle. Arizona State transfer big man Massamba Diop comes in at No. 4, with Houston transfer Isiah Harwell next at No. 5.

The freshman trio of Jack Kayil, Luca Foster, and Sam Funches comes in at No. 6, 7, and 8, respectively, while redshirt freshman Parker Jefferson is at No. 9.
