Gonzaga's Graydon Lemke enters transfer portal

Gonzaga's Graydon Lemke has entered the transfer portal, he announced in a post on social media Wednesday.

The 6-foot-10 forward from Las Vegas committed to the Bulldogs in July, joining Ismaila Diagne and Cade Orness in Gonzaga's 2024 freshmen class. Lemke didn't appear in a single game during the 2024-25 season after taking a redshirt year, meaning he'll have four years of eligibility at his next school.

As a high school senior, Lemke guided Faith Lutheran (Nevada) to a 20-6 record, including a perfect 10-0 showing in 4A Mountain League play, while averaging 17.4 points and 5.0 rebounds en route to the 4A southern state semifinals. The Crusaders fell to Somerset Academy for the right to play in the state championship despite a 19-point game from Lemke. 

After missing part of his junior season due to a torn Achilles, Lemke won league MVP as a senior and was one of the five finalists for the Naismith High School Basketball Courage Award. He was also nominated for the McDonald's All-American Games.
