Spanish basketball standout Mario Saint-Supery has officially committed to and signed with Gonzaga, bringing clarity to weeks of speculation surrounding his future. After reports initially linked the talented point guard to the Bulldogs, Saint-Supery confirmed his decision, significantly boosting Gonzaga’s roster for the 2025-26 season.

Saint-Supery’s decision to leave BAXI Manresa and head to Spokane marks a significant moment for his career and the Gonzaga program. The 19-year-old guard, known for his creative playmaking, scoring instincts, and high basketball IQ, arrives with an impressive résumé from his time in Spain’s top-flight Liga ACB and on the international stage. While on loan from Unicaja Málaga to BAXI Manresa, Saint-Supery was named to the ACB’s Best Young Team, showcasing his ability to impact games at a high level despite his youth.

Internationally, Saint-Supery starred at the 2024 FIBA U18 EuroBasket, averaging over 21 points, five rebounds, and six assists per game, solidifying his reputation as one of Europe’s most promising guards. His blend of scoring and distribution should translate well to the NCAA, where Gonzaga will look to utilize his talents both on and off the ball.

For Gonzaga, this addition is another example of Mark Few’s ongoing success in attracting and developing international talent. The Bulldogs, already boasting a backcourt featuring Arizona State transfer Adam Miller and Colgate transfer Braeden Smith, now gain a versatile weapon who brings professional experience and a track record of thriving against elite competition.

Saint-Supery’s arrival addresses a key need for Gonzaga: adding a dynamic playmaker who can break down defenses, create for teammates, and bring an edge defensively. His professional pedigree should also help ease his transition into the college game, where expectations will be high from day one.

The decision to come to Gonzaga also reflects the changing landscape of college basketball. The allure of NCAA competition and its visibility for NBA scouts continues to attract international prospects. Saint-Supery has become the latest European standout to choose to enhance their profiles stateside.

Gonzaga’s 2025-26 roster takes another significant step forward with this official commitment. Saint-Supery is poised to make an immediate impact, and his presence could be a difference-maker as the Bulldogs look to position themselves for another deep NCAA tournament run.
