Gonzaga's Top Guard Bolts: Mark Few's Program Shaken
13 Jul
Summary
- Mario Saint-Supery, Gonzaga's starting point guard, has unexpectedly departed the team.
- The departure caused Gonzaga to drop ten spots in Jon Rothstein's daily rankings.
- Potential additions Izan Almansa and Skylar Wicks await NCAA eligibility rulings.
Gonzaga's men's basketball program is adjusting to a significant shake-up following the unexpected mid-July departure of starting point guard Mario Saint-Supery. His sudden exit has visibly impacted how the national media perceives Mark Few's program, particularly as they prepare to enter the Pac-12 in the 2026-27 season.
Jon Rothstein's daily rankings reflected this shift, with the Zags dropping a notable ten spots following Saint-Supery's signing with Valencia. The projected starting five now features Nathan de Sousa at point guard, with the bench depth contingent on NCAA eligibility approvals for potential additions Izan Almansa and Skylar Wicks.
Saint-Supery's contributions last season included averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 assists, and leading the team with 48 made three-pointers. His departure, along with the earlier decision of guard Jack Kayil to stay in the NBA draft, leaves Gonzaga searching for solutions in the backcourt.
