The Gonzaga Bulldogs landed their first big name target of the transfer portal, with former five-star big man Efton Reid announcing he is joining the Zags for next season.
Reid, who transferred from LSU alongside the entirety of the team, averaged 6.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season as a freshman. Not exactly gaudy numbers, but the potential is clearly there. A five-star recruit in 2021, he was ranked No. 27 by 247 Sports and was slotted as the third-best center in the class.
With Chet Holmgren declaring for the NBA Draft and Drew Timme potentially on his way out as well, Reid is exactly the athletic big man the Zags needed to help supplement the remaining post players on the roster.
