It has been an eventful offseason for Gonzaga men's basketball.

Eight players from the 2022-23 team are likely gone, and at least six new players are coming to Spokane. Among them is Wyoming transfer Graham Ike, who has flown under the radar after missing the entire season with a leg injury.

Ike, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 19.5 points and 9.6 rebounds during the 2021-22 season, leading Wyoming to an NCAA Tournament berth.

CBS Sports' college basketball columnist Gary Parrish thinks Ike is one of the best low-post players in the country and expects him to play a prominent role in the Zags' success next season.

“I expect him to be one of the best bigs in the country,” said Parrish.

On the latest episode of the Gonzaga Nation podcast, Parrish joins former Zags' All-American Dan Dickau to talk about the Bulldogs' new additions - including Ike, Steele Venters and Ryan Nembhard - and much more.
