Why Braeden Smith is IDEAL final piece for Gonzaga Bulldogs in Transfer Portal | Chet loses ROY race

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are reportedly in contact with transfer guard Braeden Smith - not the Purdue star but rather a high level distributor from Colgate. Smith played high school ball at Seattle Prep and was a candidate for National Freshman of the Year in 2023 and won Patriot League Player of the Year in 2024, and with two years of eligibility remaining he could step into a starting role for the Zags as a senior once Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, and Khalif Battle run out of eligibility.Lisa Fortier and the Zag women's team added a big time transfer in point guard Tayla Dalton, who started 82 games over the past four years with the Saint Mary's Gaels. Dalton is from New Zealand and will pair nicely with incoming freshman Lauren Whittaker and new UConn transfer Ines Bettencourt.We close the show discussing Chet Holmgren finishing second in NBA Rookie of the Year voting to Victor Wembanyama, Jalen Suggs and Orlando getting eliminated from the playoffs, and Andrew Nembhard's remarkable 32:5 A:TO ratio during the playoffs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.
