The Gonzaga Bulldogs have begun to piece together their 2026 recruiting class and currently hold the No. 21 spot nationally, according to ESPN’s rankings.
The class is headlined by 6-foot-6 wing Luca Foster (No. 37), who adds catch-and-shoot threat and reliable mid-range offense. Germany native Jack Kayil and forward/center Sam Funches also bring international flavor to the mix. This is also a step to expanding Gonzaga’s global footprint for head coach Mark Few.
While the ranking is outside the very top tier, the Bulldogs’ track record of developing talent means this class could yield high value, especially with the unknowns of Kayil and Funches. Few continues to target players who fit the Zags’ system rather than just chase rankings. And each of these recruits align with that model.
For Gonzaga, the focus now will be on closing the cycle with more complimentary pieces and momentum. Tyran Stokes would be a huge get for the program. However, the early signs point to another thoughtful class built for long-term impact.
