- Przemek Karnowski will likely receive a medical hardship waiver and play his final year of eligibility at Gonzaga in the 2016–17 season. He played the first five games for the Zags, but due to back problems, which eventually forced him to undergo surgery, he missed the rest of the season.[6]
- Jesse Wade graduated high school in 2015, but before enrolling in college at Gonzaga, he left for a 2-year LDS mission in Lyon, France, and will arrive on campus as a freshman in Fall 2017.[7]
