Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have zeroed in on a high-scoring wing in the 2027 recruiting class, and their full-court press seems to be having the desired effect.
Gene Roebuck, a 6’5 guard from La Mirada, CA, has been on Gonzaga’s radar for a year now, and he even attended the team’s season-opening win over Texas Southern last November.

Roebuck has been playing extremely well this summer, making stops at the Adidas Eurocamp in Italy, as well as the NBPA Top 100 camp in South Carolina, where he put on a show with his shot-making ability while playing alongside Dooney Johnson, Gonzaga’s lone 2027 commit.

They have guards who can get up and down the floor and score efficiently, and that’s a big thing for me. How much love they show to me every day is big. They’ve shown up to my high school and I talk to them like every other day.”

Gonzaga is one of four visits Roebuck has taken so far, alongside a trio of in-state options in UCLA, USC, and Cal. Roebuck told Bossi he wants to make another trip to Gonzaga and that he wants to get out to Grand Canyon as well.

Playing time as a freshman will be a big factor in Roebuck’s college decision as well, which is something that should work in Gonzaga’s…
