The Gonzaga Bulldogs are in an interesting spot right now. They are one year from the most successful year in school history: a run to the NCAA championship game, and sending off two players into the NBA via the draft.
They also are returning a sizeable portion of the championship run squad, although the pieces they lost are also mountain sized holes. The Zags basically lost the equivalent of four starters in Jordan Mathews, Przemek Karnowski, Nigel Williams-Goss, and Zach Collins. They also lost Ryan Edwards, Dustin Triano, and Bryan Alberts to transfers.
