While the transfer portal deadline provided some clarity, questions still linger as to what Gonzaga's roster will look like in the fall.

Between the portal and graduation, the Bulldogs are set to lose six rotational players from last season's squad that won the West Coast Conference tournament championship and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Retaining Braden Huff and Graham Ike for one last run together was a massive win for Mark Few and the coaching staff; however they've yet to land a commit this spring and still need bodies to round out the backcourt rotation.

That in mind, here are a few transfer players who've reportedly "received interest" from Gonzaga, as well as a few other names to keep an eye on as the offseason progresses.

"RECEIVED INTEREST"

Adam Miller
6-foot-3, 190-pound junior forward
2024-25 with Arizona State: 9.8 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 1.9 apg; 44.9/42.9/75.6 shooting splits

The Zags are somewhat familiar with Miller's game from their run-in with the Sun Devils this past season at the McCarthey Athletic Center, where Miller recorded a pair of 3-pointers, three rebounds, three assists and finished with eight points as Gonzaga pulled away down the stretch for an 88-80 victory on Nov. 10. Given the Bulldogs' need for 3-point shooting, Miller's efficient numbers from behind the arc last season suggest he could fill that void while providing Gonzaga another talented backcourt player.

Jacob Dar
6-foot-7, 170-pound junior forward
2024-25 with Rice: 7.5 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 0.5 apg; 40.6/37.0/74.6 shooting splits

Dar is on the list of transfers who's heard from Gonzaga since entering the transfer portal, as reports indicate the 6-foot-7, 170-pound forward has received interest from the Zags, as well as West Virginia, Texas A&M, Washington, Kansas State and San Francisco, among others.

Dar scored a season-high 24 points and collected six rebounds in a February loss to UAB, which came days after he dropped 21 points at Tulane. Dar also went 6-of-7 from downtown during that matchup with the Green Wave.

Sami Pissis
6-foot-3, 190-pound junior guard
2024-25 with New Hampshire: 15.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.7 apg; 34.4/29.4/74.8 shooting splits

Pissis has received interest from the Bulldogs and a handful of mid-major and high-major programs alike since entering the portal. Though he wasn't the most efficient from the floor last season, part of that could be attributed to Pissis' high usage rate, which led the America East Conference (34.9%). For reference, Graham Ike led the WCC last season with a 31.9% usage rate.

OTHERS TO KEEP AN EYE ON

Malik Thomas
6-foot-5, 205-pound junior guard
2024-25 with San Francisco: 19.9 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2.1 apg; 44.4/39.4/85.1 shooting splits

A sturdy guard with a smooth shot and feel for the game, Thomas will likely garner interest from power conference programs across the country. The West Coast Conference's scoring champion this past season finished with 20 or more points in exactly half the games he played in 2024-25 (17) and crossed the 30-point threshold four times. Thomas had 25 points in the Dons' loss to at the Kennel, scored 13 in the second meeting with the Zags at Chase Center, then dropped dropped 27 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals against Gonzaga in the WCC Tournament.

Thomas' frame and athleticism, paired with his shotmaking and ability to get to the rim, make him a perfect candidate to fill the Khalif Battle role.
