5 Gonzaga players who could make a statement at Kraziness in the Kennel

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will take the floor next Saturday, Oct. 3, for the annual Kraziness in the Kennel event – a chance for fans to take in what will be a very new-look roster in Spokane.

Of course, part of the story next Saturday is not which players will be there, but the ones that might not be.
