Gonzaga is still in the hunt for one of the biggest names in the 2027 class.
Jalen Davis, a five-star combo guard from Bremerton and the top high school prospect in Washington, has trimmed his list to four schools and included the Zags among them. He told On3.com’s Joe Tipton that Gonzaga is joined by Washington, UCLA and North Carolina, and he does not have a commitment date set.
Davis is expected in Spokane for an official visit Saturday, when Gonzaga hosts New Mexico State in its home opener.
The Bremerton High standout first released a broader list of 10 schools that included Gonzaga, UCLA, Washington, Stanford, Texas Tech, USC, Iowa, TCU, BYU and Ole Miss.
According to the Rivals Industry Ranking, which combines ratings from Rivals, ESPN and 247Sports, Davis is the No. 21 overall player in the 2027 class. On3/Rivals has him as the No. 7 player at his position and lists the 6-foot-4 prospect as a point guard.
“Davis has positional size, but he is also comfortable on or off the ball,” On3’s Jamie Shaw wrote in an evaluation of Davis. “With his length, he has some sneaky speed with the ball in his hands and can really put pressure on the defense in the open floor. He is also a quality shooter from three-point range.
“As he cleans up his footwork and continues to work on his reads, there is real upside here with his natural abilities and physical gifts.”
Davis backed up that reputation with a big summer on the AAU Adidas 3SSB Circuit, where he averaged 24.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.8 steals per game for Slow Grind Elite.
Gonzaga already has one commitment in the 2027 class: five-star combo guard Dooney Johnson, a Milwaukee native who transferred to East River High School in Orlando for his senior season.

Mark Few Joins Emotional Bill Walton Tribute With Lasting Impact
Mark Few helped lead a meaningful tribute to Bill Walton by joining three other high-profile coaches in supporting a new scholarship effort tied to the Hall of Famers legacy. Few, Matt Painter, Tommy Lloyd and Mick Cronin combined to donate $32,000 to help launch the Bill Walton Foundations Shine On Scholarship, a program designed to provide college scholarships for young people overcoming homelessness.
The scholarship is aimed at cities where Walton played during his career, adding a personal layer to a cause that fits the spirit of his life and influence. Friends of Walton have also pledged matching donations, which could push the launch total as high as $128,000 and give the effort a much bigger reach as it gets underway. [Read more 🡒]
Gonzaga Is Closing In On A Huge Backcourt Recruiting Moment
A major recruiting opportunity is starting to take shape for Gonzaga in the 2027 class, and it comes with a familiar local angle. Jalen Davis, the highly regarded five-star guard from Bremerton, has trimmed his list to four finalists, putting the Bulldogs in position to make a strong impression on one of the countrys top backcourt prospects. Gonzaga already has one commitment in the class, Dooney Johnson, and adding a player of Davis caliber would give the group a much bigger ceiling.
The timing also works in Gonzagas favor, with Davis set to make an official visit to Spokane during the home opener in early November. That gives the staff a chance to showcase the program, the atmosphere and the role he could play in the future, all in front of a recruit who would immediately elevate the class if he chooses the Bulldogs. For a program that has long sold itself on player development and guard play, this is the kind of recruiting moment that can shift the conversation around an entire class. [Read more 🡒]
Gonzaga Passed Its First Real Test But One Question Already Looms
Opening night gave the Pac-12 a mostly clean start, with six of its nine basketball teams winning and Gonzaga handling the biggest spotlight game of the bunch. The Bulldogs beat Purdue in a competitive Hall of Fame Series matchup, and they did it with a balanced effort that suggested there is already some real substance to work with as the season gets rolling. Xaivian Lee made a smooth debut, Davis Fogle gave Gonzaga the kind of scoring punch it needed, and Izan Almansa added to a performance that looked sturdy enough for November.
Still, the first night also left one obvious question hanging over the Bulldogs: how much of this can they sustain once the schedule keeps tightening? Washington State took a loss to Davidson, while Utah State and Oregon State did their part against Big Sky opponents Idaho State and Weber State, but Gonzagas win carried the most weight because it came against a ranked-caliber test and offered a glimpse of both promise and unfinished business. The early answer was encouraging, even if the bigger picture is still being written. [Read more 🡒]
