There has been plenty of movement over the past few days in the 2014 class. Since we last updated you, Gonzaga has shown serious interest in or has offered three new prospects. As we hoped, the staff is targeting several positions and is looking at some supremely talented kids. Lets take a look at some of the high level news:
New Faces (More In The Table Below):
Iziahiah Sweeney - 6'2'' Wing Prospect From Compton, CA
Brekkott Chapman - 6'8'' Forward From Roy, Utah
Andre Adams - 6'8'' Forward From Avondale, AZ
Point Guards
Collier and Perkins are still the main two options here. With Graham Woodward not in the works for 2013, it will be interesting to see if this list grows or if the staff elects to wait until 2015 to nab a point guard.
| Prospect | Location | Ranking | Considering | Notes | Commit Odds | Recent Trend |
| Dominique Collier | Denver, CO HS: Denver East AAU: KC Pump N' Run |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: 4 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
Colorado, Kansas State, Stanford, Iowa | 10/11: The staff went out to see Collier this fall but interest is still pretty new at this point. | 25%. Collier is a great option at point, just depends if the staff views it as a need in '14. |
|
| Josh Perkins | Denver, CO HS: Regis Jesuit AAU: Colorado Miners |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: 4 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
Colorado, Arizona, ASU, SDSU, Stanford, USC, Wake Forest | 10/11: Like Collier, this interest is pretty new so we will see if anything materializes. | 25%. See above. |
|
Combo Guards
The Bryan Alberts category. Alberts visited in mid-October and seemed to have a great time; such a great time in fact that it seemed like he might commit. Based on what we can tell, a commit hasn't happened yet but things are looking great.
| Prospect | Location | Links | Considering | Notes | Commit Odds | Recent Trend |
| Bryan Alberts | Sun Valley, CA HS: Village Christian |
Rivals: Unrated Scout: 3 Star ESPN: 3 Star |
Wisconsin, Oregon State, UW, WSU, Georgetown, Northwestern, etc. | 10/23: By all accounts, Albert had a great visit in October. | 90%. The staff has made him a priority and, should the pursuit continue, very confident Alberts will be a Zag. |
|
Wings
The next couple categories have gotten very busy and what is exciting is that each guy seems to be more talented than the next. As we pointed out above, the newest member to this group is Iziahiah Sweeney from Compton. In a recent Scout piece, Sweeney said the Zags were standing out so we will definitely keep an eye on him.
| Prospect | Location | Links | Considering | Notes | Commit Odds | Recent Trend |
| Donaven Dorsey | Lacey, WA HS: Timberline AAU: Team Mocha |
Rivals: 3 Star Scout: Unrated ESPN: Unrated |
UW, WSU, Cal, Oregon State | 10/11: Zags have come onto Dorsey strong lately. Few and Giacoletti went to see him in mid-October. | 65%. At this point, Dorsey seems like a big priority and would fill a big need as an athletic wing. |
|
| Isaiah Bailey | Compton, CA HS: Compton AAU: Compton Magic |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: 4 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
Arizona, ASU, SDSU, UCLA, UNLV, USC | 10/11: Bailey was recently offered by the Zags and the staff went down and met with him in the fall. | 33%. New interest that we don't know much about. Bailey is likely prime to blow up this season in CA. |
|
| Iziahiah Sweeney | Compton, CA HS: Compton AAU: Compton Magic |
Rivals: Unrated Scout: 3 Star ESPN: Unrated |
Oregon St., UCLA, LMU, Utah St. | 10/23: Per an October '12 Scout article, Zags are coming on strong and are standing out for him right now. | 33%. New interest that we don't know much about. Bailey is likely prime to blow up this season in CA. |
|
| Namon Wright | Los Angeles, CA HS: Pacific Hills AAU: Dream Vision |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: 4 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
Arizona, UCLA, UNLV, USC | 10/11: Wright recently put the Zags in his top five but it seems like Alberts is the main priority here. | 25%. Still in wait and see mode with Wright. |

Versatile 4/3 Forwards
Brekkott Chapman is the new name here. The exciting prospect from Utah has garnered plenty of attention recently. The Zags have absolutely targeted this position as one of need in 2014 and it will be interesting to see how many prospects they seriously pursue.
| Prospect | Location | Links | Considering | Notes | Commit Odds | Recent Trend |
| Brekkott Chapman | Roy, Utah HS: Roy AAU: Utah Hoops |
Rivals: 3 Star Scout: 3 Star ESPN: Unrated |
Utah, Colorado, Arizona State, BYU, Utah St., San Francisco, etc. | 10/23: Gonzaga offered Brekkott in late October. | 25%. Very early but Gonzaga is arguably his best offer to date. |
|
| Zylan Cheatham | Phoenix, AZ HS: South Mountain |
Rivals: Unrated Scout: 3 Star ESPN: 3 Star |
ASU, Cal, New Mexico, Oregon State | 10/11: Gonzaga watched him this summer and recently offered. | 25%. I think the staff will make a run at one of the higher profile options but Cheatham is very skilled as well. |
|
| Reid Travis | Minneapolis, MN HS: De La Salle AAU: Minne Pump N' Run |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: 4 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
Minnesota, Iowa St., WSU, Colorado, BC, Northwestern, etc. | 10/11: Gonzaga has been out to Minneapolis to see Reid this fall. He is also a promising QB on the gridiron. | 10%. Very tough to get him out of Midwest, also looking for school where he can play football & hoops. |
|
| Malik Pope | Sacramento, CA HS: Luther Burbank AAU: Team Superstar |
Rivals: 5 Star Scout: 5 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
UCLA, UNLV, USC, UW, Baylor, Arizona, Colorado..pretty much anywhere. | 10/11: Zags were in on Pope early but he has since risen to a 5-star and is likely BCS bound. | 10%. Don't see this one happening. |

Athletic Bigs
We are all familiar with Okonoboh but Andre Adams is a guy that popped up this month and is very intriguing. Make no mistake, he will about as tough to get as Okonoboh will be as he touts numerous high major offers.
| Prospect | Location | Links | Considering | Notes | Commit Odds | Recent Trend |
| Goodluck Okonoboh | Boston, MA HS: Wilbraham & Monson AAU: Mass Rivals |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: Unrated ESPN: 4 Star |
Syracuse, Uconn, Minnesota, Mizzou, Pitt, Providence, Seton Hall | 10/11: Okonoboh was courted heavily over the summer by the Zags. Will be a tough get. | 30%. Really hard one to call but considering the amount of other interest for Okonoboh, I'm not holding my breath. |
|
| Andre Adams | Avondale, AZ HS: Westview AAU: Arizona Magic |
Rivals: 4 Star Scout: 4 Star ESPN: 4 Star |
Colorado, Oregon State, UNLV, ASU, Boise St., Indiana, Arizona, Syracuse, etc. | 10/23: Zags offered in mid-October but Adams has a ton of suitors. It will be interesting to see how this progresses. | 20%. Very little info to go off of but an offer from the Zags has been extended. |
