Former Delaware guard Izaiah Pasha is one of the more sought after prospects in the transfer portal. At 6’4” Pasha will bring both size and experience to the guard position for whatever team he selects having averaged 11.9 points per game and 3.9 assists per game in just under 30 minutes per contest for the Blue Hens as a freshman.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs were in very early on in Pasha’s portal recruitment and quickly made the Top 10. Now, Pasha has confirmed in an interview to Athlon Sports that he has Gonzaga in his top four remaining choices for his portal destination and will be taking a visit to Spokane after the end of the transfer portal recruiting dead period.

“The contact has been great,” Pasha said when asked about his recruitment by Gonzaga. “ (They have) been recruiting me very hard. I’ve been talking to Brian Michaelson… they seem to want me really bad.”

Pasha also indicated that the draw of Gonzaga is simply the rich history under Coach Mark Few. “It’s really self explanatory,” Pasha said, “it’s Gonzaga. (A) great team historically and helps guys develop to get to the next level.”

Finally, Pasha shared on the factor of Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman exiting the program and leaving a huge void in terms of minutes and production and how that plays into his decision. “Yes, that plays a big part because it gives me the opportunity I deserve and need,” Pasha told Athlon Sports. “They (Gonzaga) told me they are looking for me to come in with the mentality to be starting, so that shows their expectations for me and I’m grateful for that.”
