With very few teams even filling 13 scholarships, how will this impact the game? And how will Mark Few and Gonzaga - known to find ways to use rules to their advantage - make this work?

The Gonzaga Bulldogs landed yet another preferred walk-on for the 2024-25 college basketball season in Graydon Lemke. Lemke is a 6'11 stretch four who played in Las Vegas and likely would have been a higher ranked prospect if he had not suffered a torn achilles his junior year. He joins Noah Haaland and Cade Orness in what is likely the strongest trio of walk-ons in Zags history.

The ACC and Florida State are locked in a legal battle, which could result in the Seminoles and the Clemson Tigers jumping ship. We look at the variety of ways this move could impact the Gonzaga Bulldogs and their quest to join a new conference. The Big 12 may land FSU and Clemson, likely eliminating the desire to add the Zags, while a full-on collapse from the ACC could lead to many programs joining the Big 12 and potentially some in the Big East as well, like Syracuse and Louisville.

Mark Few and Team USA took down Kelly Olynyk, Andrew Nembhard and Team Canada in a pre-Olympic scrimmage on Wednesday, 86-72.

Meanwhile, Nembhard went 0-5 from the field but played well overall, and received very high praise from his teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander postgame.
