Javon Bennett - Remains ineligible for 2026-27 Bennett remains ineligible for the 2026-27 season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports. Impact Bennett committed to Gonzaga back in August with the expectation of being able to play, but a recent court ruling in Ohio has put his status on pause for the upcoming season. Gonzaga is hoping the 5-foot-10 guard can become eligible, as he is expected to step into a starting role with the team. Last season with Dayton, he started all 37 contests and averaged 15.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists across 34.5 minutes per game.
