Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have five open roster spots, with at least two expected to go to guards who can compete alongside Mario Saint-Supery and Isiah Harwell for a rotation spot as the team joins the Pac-12 in 2026-27.
The loss of German guard Jack Kayil, who intends to stay in the NBA draft rather than come to Spokane, puts Gonzaga in need of a high-scoring guard to challenge Harwell for the starting role next to Saint-Supery and sophomore forward Davis Fogle.
