Michael Ajayi WITHDRAWS from NBA draft to play for Zags! | Is this Gonzaga's deepest roster ever?

Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs got more great news on Wednesday with Pepperdine transfer wing Michael Ajayi opting to withdraw from the 2024 NBA draft and instead play for the Zags next season. Ajayi has one year of eligibility remaining, and the 6'7 wing will step into the starting lineup replacing Anton Watson. Ajayi's scoring and shooting skills, length on the perimeter, and experience make him a perfect final piece to that lineup after he made the All-WCC Team last season.

With 12 of Gonzaga's 13 scholarships now accounted for, and potentially the last one going to Ismaila Diagne, we wonder if Coach Few officially has his deepest roster ever - with comparisons to the 2016-17 and 2020-21 squads which each made the NCAA Tournament national championship game.

We close out the show discussing other NBA draft decisions, including Jonathan Mogbo leaving San Francisco to stay in the draft, Jaylen Wells doing the same out of Washington State, and what Alex Karaban returning for UConn means for the defending champs.
