Kraziness in the Kennel gives Gonzaga men's basketball fans a first glimpse at the team through a skills challenge, 3-point contest and intrasquad scrimmage. Sometimes there's even a slam dunk contest. But regardless of who wins the individual competitions or how well the team plays together, the annual event has become much more important for shaping future Gonzaga teams.

Because amid the hype and excitement that comes with the festivities, there are often highly touted high school recruits taking their official visit to Gonzaga. Other programs across the country plan out similar visits during the preseason, and the Kraziness in the Kennel event has been one of Mark Few's most effective recruiting tactics in recent years.

On Saturday, 2025 four-star Nik Khamenia (Harvard-Westlake) is slated be in attendance for this season's event. Based on the previous recruits who have visited in the past, there's plenty of reason to be excited about Khamenia's visit heading forward. 

Here's a look at previous Gonzaga commits who visited Kraziness in the Kennel.
