Gonzaga Bulldogs lose key assistant coach Jorge Sanz to North Carolina Tar Heels, raising concerns about the Zags’ international recruiting edge and non-conference scheduling. Could this staff shakeup derail Gonzaga’s momentum heading into the Pac-12? Andy Patton explores the wide-ranging impact of Sanz’s departure, from relationships with top prospects like Mario Saint-Supery to the unfinished non-conference slate.

Replacement buzz heats up as names like Wayne Tinkle, Eric McClellan, and Rem Bakamus enter the conversation.

Andy Patton runs through potential hires, analyzes their international connections, and breaks down the program’s next moves.
