As a senior with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Rasir Bolton averaged 11.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. He paired those numbers with a field goal percentage of 50.2 percent and a three-point percentage of 46 percent. His upperclassman leadership was vital last season for Gonzaga and next year it will continue to be important for Head Coach Mark Few and the Gonzaga program. This is a massive return for Gonzaga and now the program waits on the decision of big man Drew Timme.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have one goal in mind and that is to win a National Championship. The return of Rasir Bolton paired with the rest of the roster will have them in a position to once again compete for an NCAA title. While they have fallen short the past few seasons eventually they hope to climb the college basketball mountain. Next season the path to the championship will be hard, but Gonzaga could have what it takes.
