On Tuesday, Dan Dickau was a guest on The Spokesman-Review’s Press Box Podcast, hosted by Larry Weir, and looked ahead to next season for the Zags.

Gonzaga Prep star forward Anton Watson was invited to USA Men’s U18 National Team training camp.

Gonzaga made a strong push in the past two months for point guard Brandon Williams, but it wasn’t enough to land one of the nation’s top recruits. Williams announced his commitment to Arizona via livestream from the Ballislife All-American game Saturday in Norwalk, California. His three finalists were Gonzaga, Arizona and Oregon.

Gonzaga is one of three finalists for top 40 recruit Brandon Williams.

Gonzaga has been active in the transfer market and that continued Thursday when two transfers said they’ve been contacted by the Zags.

Gonzaga is in the mix for graduate transfer Joe Cremo, a versatile 6-foot-4 guard from Albany.

Gonzaga-bound forward Filip Petrusev capped his prep career with another strong performance and a national championship. Petrusev scored 15 points as No. 1 Montverde Academy capped an unbeaten season with a 76-58 rout over University School in the championship game of the GEICO High School Nationals on Saturday in New York.

Leonard Hamilton and Mark Few cast a wide net when it comes to scouting talent and their respective rosters carry a combined nine players who were born outside of the U.S.

Anton Watson’s goals are simple. “I want to be remembered,” he said.
