DONE DEAL: Gonzaga lands Massamba Diop, BEST big man in the transfer portal! What he brings to Zags

Gonzaga Bulldogs land Massamba Diop, the top big man in the transfer portal, instantly elevating their national title hopes. Is this the missing piece for Mark Few’s squad as they prepare for the Pac-12? Andy Patton breaks down Diop’s high-stakes recruitment battle with Rick Pitino’s St. John’s, Gonzaga’s bold all-in approach, and how the 7’1 Senegalese center’s rim protection fills a critical need alongside Braden Huff. Key stats, defensive prowess, and the unique international ties shaping the Zags’ frontcourt all come into play. The conversation shifts to Gonzaga’s next roster moves with five scholarship spots still open. Andy Patton discusses potential fits like sharpshooter Ethan Copeland, other portal targets, rotation depth, and what the new lineup signals for the Bulldogs’ championship chase. How will this revamped roster stack up in a loaded Pac-12, and who could be the next game-changing addition?
