Dooney Johnson earns First Team honors for Nike EYBL! Is 6'7 guard the next Zags LEGEND?

Gonzaga Bulldogs land on Nike EYBL’s elite list as Dooney Johnson earns First-Team honors, raising questions about recruiting momentum and his true upside. Is the 6’7” Milwaukee wing underrated, or a future star in the Pac-12? Andy Patton breaks down Johnson’s relentless summer run, the state of 2027 recruiting, and what his attacking style means for Mark Few’s program—especially as outside shooting remains a concern.

Meanwhile, French prospect Juwan Ekanga-Ehawa impresses for France at U20 EuroBasket, but rawness and shooting woes temper early expectations for his freshman year in Spokane. Andy Patton also covers Ryan Nembhard’s surprising NBA trade, now pairing with Corey Kispert on the Atlanta Hawks, and examines how Ines Bettencourt’s eligibility saga could reshape Gonzaga women’s basketball in the upcoming Pac-12 era. Can the Bulldogs’ new additions make an instant impact, or will experience drive the Zags’ future success?
