With Rasir Bolton, Julian Strawther, and now Drew Timme all withdrawing from the 2022 NBA Draft, the Gonzaga Bulldogs return three key players to their roster. Questions remain, but Head Coach Mark Few is well set up to finally cut down the final nets of March Madness. While the team was going to be good regardless, the return of Timme boosts them to another level and makes them a top threat to win the NCAA Tournament this upcoming college basketball season.
