How will Gonzaga address its new void in the backcourt? | Transfer portal (and other) targets 2.0
Gonzaga faces a backcourt challenge after German prospect Jack Kayil opted to remain in the NBA draft, leaving the team with only two true guards. The Zags recently added Spanish forward Izan Almansa, bolstering their frontcourt, but must now address backcourt depth. With most top transfer options already committed, Gonzaga is evaluating remaining portal and international prospects to fill the void.
- ▪German guard Jack Kayil decided to stay in the 2026 NBA draft, forgoing his college commitment to Gonzaga.
- ▪Gonzaga secured a commitment from 6-foot-10 Spanish forward Izan Almansa, a former G League player, to strengthen their frontcourt.
- ▪Vyctorius Miller, a 6-5 guard with experience at LSU and Oklahoma State, is among the transfer portal targets Gonzaga may pursue.
- ▪Miller was previously linked to Gonzaga in 2023, indicating prior familiarity between him and the coaching staff.
- ▪The majority of top transfer guards have already committed elsewhere, limiting Gonzaga's options in the portal.
- ▪Gonzaga is still projected to have a top-15 roster despite the backcourt uncertainty.
