With the NCAA transfer portal now officially open, over 1,500 men’s Division I players have registered, and close to 800 have entered. The portal will be open until April 21.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have lost four players from their 2025-26 roster in graduate wing Steele Venters, junior wing Emmanuel Innocenti, redshirt junior guard Braeden Smith, and redshirt freshman guard Cade Orness.
As of right now, here are the returners for Gonzaga’s 2026-27 roster with their incoming class listed:
Sophomore guard Mario Saint-Supery
Sophomore wing Davis Fogle
Redshirt senior forward Braden Huff
Junior center Ismaila Diagne
Redshirt freshman forward Parker Jefferson
Redshirt junior guard Joaquim Arauz-Moore (walk-on)
Sophomore guard Alonzo Metz (walk-on)
The 2026 high school/international class will consist of four-star wing Luca Foster, four-star center Sam Funches, and four-star combo guard Jack Kayil. 247 Sports has that class ranked No. 23 amongst all college basketball programs.
That makes for 10 of the 15 available 2026-27 roster spots filled, eight of those being on scholarship and the two others being walk-ons.
Here are some names from across college basketball that have entered the portal and have previous recruiting ties with the Zags:
Washington Huskies sophomore guard Zoom Diallo
Washington Huskies freshman guard JJ Mandaquit
Notre Dame Fighting Irish freshman guard Jalen Haralson
San Francisco Dons junior forward Mookie Cook
Houston Cougars freshman guard Isiah Harwell
Butler Bulldogs freshman wing Efeosa Oliogu-Elabor
San Diego State Aztecs junior guard Miles Byrd
Virginia Tech Hokies freshman guard Neoklis Avdalas
Oregon Ducks junior guard Jackson Shelstad
Creighton Bluejays junior forward Owen Freeman
As coach Mark Few and the rest of his coaching staff continue to monitor the portal, all the names that the Zags have reportedly reached out to will be listed here.
