Losing WCC Player of the Year Ike is certainly a blow, but Gonzaga does have back Huff, who missed the second half of this past year due to a lower leg injury. He’s back, joined by Diop, who had impressive moments as a freshman at ASU, and gives the team an interior presence alongside Huff inside.
The backcourt has plenty of potential, led by the expected sophomore breakout campaigns from Saint-Supery and Fogle, who had large roles in their first years with the program. Harwell is a former five-star prospect who could thrive in a new environment, while Kayil is one of the better international perimeter players coming from overseas into the backcourt.
