  "account": "On December 1, 2025, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Gonzaga Bulldogs' roster saw another change as guard Skylar Wicks decommitted from the program. According to his agent, Richie Felder, Wicks had originally committed to the Zags in June and was granted an NCAA waiver for an additional year of eligibility after his successful 2024-25 season with the UTSA Roadrunners. With Florida Gators guard Xaivian Lee transferring to Gonzaga just 24 hours prior, Wicks' decision leaves the roster at 14 of the 15 spots filled. Notable transfers and prospects await NCAA approval for international eligibility, including France's Cholet Basket forward Nathan De Sousa and Spain's Real Madrid center/forward Izan Almansa.",
