Gonzaga Bulldogs head coach Mark Few has several holes to fill on his roster heading into the 2026-27 season, including the departures of five seniors. One potential target is Zoom Diallo, a 6'4" rising junior guard who averaged 15.7 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game for the University of Washington last season. Diallo, a native of Tacoma, Washington, was previously recruited by Gonzaga and is now entering the transfer portal.

Why it matters

Gonzaga loses significant scoring punch in the backcourt with the departures of Adam Miller, Jalen Warley, and Tyon Grant-Foster. Diallo, a high-volume scorer who can also facilitate, could be an ideal fit to help replace that production as the Bulldogs transition to the Pac-12 conference.

The details

Diallo, a 4-star recruit in the class of 2024, chose to stay close to home and play for the Washington Huskies over offers from Gonzaga, Arizona, Florida State, and USC. He took an official visit to Spokane in January 2023 but ultimately signed with UW. Now, after two seasons with the Huskies, Diallo has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal and find a new school for the 2026-27 season.

  • Diallo announced his plan to enter the transfer portal on Friday, April 3, 2026.
  • The transfer portal officially opens on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

What’s next

Gonzaga is expected to be one of the many programs that will pursue Diallo in the transfer portal, as he would provide a much-needed scoring boost in the backcourt. The Bulldogs will also likely target other guards who have previously been in their recruiting crosshairs, such as Jackson Shelstad, Isiah Harwell, Jalen Haralson, and Neo Avdalas.

The takeaway

Diallo's decision to enter the transfer portal presents an intriguing opportunity for Gonzaga to add a high-scoring guard who is familiar with the program's recruiting process. His ability to create his own shot and get to the free throw line could make him a valuable addition as the Bulldogs look to reload their roster ahead of their move to the Pac-12.
