Original story from July 1, 2026:<\/p>\n
SPOKANE, Wash. \u2014 The Gonzaga Bulldogs and head coach Mark Few have nearly completed their roster for the 2026-27 season, adding another player from the transfer portal Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to a report from 247Sports, Gonzaga landed a commitment from Saint Francis transfer Skylar Wicks.<\/p>\n
Wicks, the 6-foot-6, 190-pound senior guard\/wing, was the Red Wolves’ leading scorer and rebounder last season, averaging 17.8 points and 6.7 rebounds in 28 games, all of which he started.<\/p>\n
The Jersey City, New Jersey, native also averaged 33.2 minutes, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.7 turnovers while shooting 41% from the field and 36.3% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
Despite his efforts, Saint Francis went 5-13 in Northeast Conference play and finished 7-24 overall.<\/p>\n
Gonzaga would be Wicks’ sixth school in seven years. He previously spent time at UTSA, Incarnate Word, State College of Florida (JUCO) and Missouri State.<\/p>\n
Wicks began his career at Missouri State in 2020-21, playing in six games that season before spending the next year as a redshirt for the Bears. He then transferred to the junior college level for the 2022-23 season, played at Incarnate Word in 2023-24, transferred to UTSA in 2024-25 and suited up for Saint Francis last season.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has played in 74 Division I games and averaged 12.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists throughout his career.<\/p>\n
To suit up for the Zags in 2026-27, Wicks would need an NCAA waiver, which he is in the process of seeking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UPDATE: August 10, 2026 –\u00a0 Skylar Wicks was officially granted an additional season of eligibility from the NCAA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3723],"tags":[7,217,10128,4251,231,772,1544,10125,10127,66,10126,10129],"class_list":["post-808920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-basketball","tag-college-basketball","tag-local-sports-news","tag-local-sports","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-basketball","tag-ncaab","tag-spokane","tag-spokane-sports","tag-sports","tag-sports-spokane","tag-wasington"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/117075837238446151","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
