There aren’t many players who have generated more intrigue and excitement amongst Gonzaga fans in recent years than Oumar Ballo. The 7-footer, whom Corey Kispert aptly described as a “Mountain of a Man” last year at the beginning of fall practice, will make his highly anticipated Gonzaga debut this season after taking a redshirt in 2019-20.
Despite his larger than life size, Ballo has mostly flown under the radar in the build up to the new season. However, with Filip Petrusev’s early departure there is a spot in the rotation up for grabs and it would be ideal for the Zags if Ballo was ready to take it.
