Ike was the WCC Player of the Year and one of the best big men in the country for Gonzaga. But while he’s leaving, they still have Huff, who also was one of the best bigs in the nation this past season (led CBB with field goals made at one point). He suffered a season-ending lower-body injury, but his return still gives Gonzaga a viable frontcourt for next year.
The key to the Bulldogs’ success in 2027 is how big a leap both Saint-Supery and Fogle take in their sophomore years. Fogle had 12 double-digit scoring outings as a freshman, including 17 points in the NCAA Tournament win over Kennesaw State. Saint-Supery shot 40% from deep and will be the lead guard in the offense after sharing duties with Braden Smith for a good portion of the year.
Gonzaga also has another strong incoming recruiting class, led by four-star wing and top-50 prospect Luca Foster, as well as another international prospect, Jack Kayil.
