Gonzaga transfer Skylar Wicks has waiver approved by NCAA

The flurry of roster moves for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs continued on Monday, although this time it wasn’t a new transfer portal addition…exactly.

Skylar Wicks, who committed to the Zags back in late June, had his eligibility waiver approved by the NCAA for the upcoming 2026-27 season – according to Dushawn London of 247Sports.

With the Cardinals, the 6’6 wing averaged 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, finishing top ten in both points and rebounds in the Southland while shooting 44.5% on twos and 31.1% from three.

Wicks had seven 20-point games against D1 opponents while at Incarnate Word, including an eye-popping 26-point,…
