Funches is the #1 ranked center in the Class of 2026.
After a great conversation with Coach Barsh, the #1 center in the Class of 2026 has received an offer from Gonzaga. Funches is a 6’10” center from Germantown High School in Madison, Mississippi. He holds offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Creighton, Georgia Tech, Indiana, LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, NC State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Wichita State. It seems most likely that he will stay in his hometown state of Mississippi or at least near there.
He’s a smooth leftie who can both stretch out the floor and score inside. With his long wingspan and natural feel for the game, Funches can snag rebounds and protect the rim with ease. His dad payed for UConn from 1996-1998 and North Texas from 1998-2000.
The Zags still don’t have a commit in the the classes of 2024, 2025, or 2026.
