We will get to armchair evaluate Noah a bit this summer when he plays for France in U19 FIBA competition, including against a USA squad.

Clever response, SCUFan. Well done.
There have been a ton of WCC commitments over the past month as teams fill out their roster. More than I care to list.
But one semi-interesting development is a significant number have transferred from one WCC school to another, or have some sort of connection to a WCC player or program:
- SMC landed center Jazz Gardner from Pacific and guard Tony Duckett from USD.
- USF landed former Portland guard Vukasin Masic.
- Seattle (entering the WCC) landed GU transfer wing Jun Seok Yeo.
- USD secured former Portland guard Juan Sebastian Gorosito who spent last season at Ball St.
- Pacific landed center KC Ibekwe who started his career at Oregon St. before spending last season Univ of Washington.
- USF landed Pitt transfer forward Guillermo Diaz Graham and Oregon St. later secured his twin bro Jorge Diaz Graham.
Portland, Pacific and LMU have mostly filled their rosters after being down to a handful of returners. USD and Pepp still need to sign 3 to 5 players.
And not sure if it it has been mentioned here but Kosy Akametu committed to Iona. Not a bad landing spot for him, hopefully he does well.

The conference power houses have set the standard. This offseason the conference has sought out large front court pieces for rim protection and create offensive mismatches. Both St marys and Gonzaga have loaded up on several 7 footers. The rest of the conference has gone after international players mostly. Many of the front courts carry little to know experience and rival our post in size. It would be helpful to solidify the front court with one more defensive minded athletic big. The transfer portal impacted every team in the conference and obviously the new pieces can only be as strong as the incumbent core; to this I think the Broncos have an advantage. Most of the effectiveness is hard to predict but the below list should share how the Broncos front court isn’t as far behind the other front courts as its felt.

Gonzaga: Graham Ike 6’9” 250 23 minutes
Ismaila Diagne 7’0” 238 12.5 minutes
Braden Huff 6’10” 250 16.7 minutes
Parker Jefferson 6’10” 230 n/a freshman recruit
St Mary’s:
Harry Wessels 7’1” 275 6.9 minutes
Andrew McKeever 7’1” 275. 6.3 minutes
Jazz Gardner 7’0” 230 17.7 minutes
Oregon State:
Noah Amenhauser 7’2” 255 2.6 minutes
Jorge Diaz-Graham 6’11” 215 7.2 minutes
Johan Munch 6’11” 222 5 minutes
Gavin Marrs 7’0” 200 5.3 minutes
Thomas Ndong 6’10’ 245 3.9 minutes
USF:
Saba Gigiberia 7’2” 250 9.8 minutes
Ndewedo Newbury 6’7” 235 Out last year/injury
Washington State Cougars:
Eemeli Yalaho 6’8” 240 11.3 minutes
