Mark Few and his coaching staff continue their pursuit of high school prospects in the 2025 recruiting class.

Four-star recruit Nikolas Khamenia is the latest target for Gonzaga men's basketball, as the program extended an offer to the Harvard-Westlake High School (California) product on Monday. The 6-foot-7 wing is the second 2025 recruit to receive an offer from the Zags, joining five-star and No. 1-ranked shooting guard Isiah Harwell from Wasatch Academy.

Khamenia has also fielded offers from Nebraska, Southern Utah, Stanford and most recently, UCLA. Based on 247Sports, he's currently the No. 9-ranked recruit in California, the No. 17-ranked small forward and the No. 65-ranked recruit in the class of 2025.

Khamenia visited Gonzaga in October and was in attendance for the annual Kraziness in the Kennel event.

“I took a trip up there, met all of the coaches," Khamenia said to Rivals. "Coach Mark Few is a really good dude. He talked to my dad a lot. It’s a really good coaching staff, really good players, really good facilities and a really good campus as well. It’s a small, nice community. I saw the Kraziness in the Kennel, so I got to see the whole vibe of the arena. It was nice.”

Khamenia was featured by SBLive Sports as one of the Top 10 small forwards in the country expected to take a big leap next season. Here's what SBLive's Zach Shugan said about Khamenia:

The CIF Open Division state champion Harvard-Westlake won’t be going anywhere next season, and Khamenia is one of the main reasons why they should enter the year as the favorites to repeat. The crafty 6-foot-7 swingman made the All-Mission League second team following a breakout sophomore campaign for the Wolverines, but he has the chance to make that first team (and possibly more) as a junior. With seniors Brady Dunlap and Jacob Huggins graduating, it will be returning standouts like Trent Perry and Khamenia helping Harvard-Westlake stay atop the Golden State and right in the thick of the national picture.
