Top international basketball prospect Alex Toohey has committed to the Gonzaga Bulldogs, he told ESPN on Tuesday.

"Gonzaga stood out with their history of winning and making international players better," Toohey said. "Being able to learn from a great coach in Mark Few will be special."

Toohey picked Gonzaga over Villanova, Michigan and Davidson after taking official visits with his parents to all four schools in October. Duke, Florida, Illinois and others also showed interest in the versatile 6-foot-8 small forward.

The 18-year-old Australian is considered one of the most promising international prospects committing to the college route in the Class of 2023, having already made a debut with his senior national team in FIBA competition in February 2021. He joined the Boomers again for their FIBA World Cup qualifiers in August, scoring 12 points in 17 minutes of action, and has been invited back to represent Australia in an additional FIBA qualifying window this week, a rarity for a player his age.

Toohey has been developing for the past two years at the NBA Global Academy in Canberra, but didn't fully emerge as a top-shelf prospect until this past July with an explosive showing at the NBA Academy Games in Atlanta, where he led Academy players in scoring and finished second in steals and fifth in rebounding while shooting 60% from the field.
