*Emmanuel Innocenti Commits to Gonzaga*
*May 17, 2024* — Emmanuel Innocenti, a freshman wing from Tarleton State, has officially transferred to Gonzaga University. The 6’5″ player, originally from Bergamo, Italy, started 33 games for the Texans last season. He averaged 6.6 points on 40.6% shooting, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. His performance earned him spots on the All-WAC Freshman Team and the All-WAC Defensive Team.
Innocenti is known for his physical, athletic play and strong defensive instincts. He excels in transition and can serve as a secondary ball handler. Gonzaga hopes to utilize his defensive skills and sees him as a player with significant upside for the future. He joins a roster strengthened by other transfer additions, Michael Ajayi and Khalif Battle, while the team has seen Luka Krajnovic, Pavle Stosic, and Colby Brooks depart. Gonzaga now has 11 scholarship players and two available spots for further additions.
