Ryan Nembhard, a standout guard for Gonzaga, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Bulldogs, canceling a planned visit to a rival program. This decision underscores his dedication to Gonzaga and the leadership of head coach Mark Few.

 

Nembhard’s journey with Gonzaga has been marked by significant achievements. Transferring from Creighton before the 2023-24 season, he quickly became an integral part of the team. In his first season, he averaged 12.6 points and 6.9 assists per game, setting a new single-season assist record for the program with 243 assists. Building on this success, Nembhard has elevated his performance in the current season, ranking second nationally with an average of 9.4 assists per game and contributing 11.4 points per game. His impressive 3.93 assist-to-turnover ratio places him sixth in the country. citeturn0search4

 

Head coach Mark Few has consistently praised Nembhard’s contributions. Following a recent victory over San Francisco, Few highlighted the balanced team effort, noting, “It wasn’t perfect, but like we’ve talked about here, everybody kind of delivered in their own way which was good.” This reflects Nembhard’s role in fostering team cohesion and performance. citeturn0search5

 

Nembhard’s commitment to Gonzaga is further evidenced by his engagement with the program’s rich history. He has had the opportunity to interact with Gonzaga legend John Stockton, participating in games at Stockton’s facility, The Warehouse. Reflecting on these experiences, Nembhard shared, “It’s cool to see he’s still active, still wants to play, still has that love for the game.” citeturn0search4
