This claim is not legit, and neither is the source.
It's just an MU fan account with a lot of joke posts. A day ago this same account posted that Tre Norman is being deported to Mexico. You'll find plenty more posts specifically targeting Tre if you scroll further.
...and April first is still aways off.
OK....Let's review....
In 3 minutes against St. John's he was -10 as a plus/minus with 3 fouls in 3 minutes....2 points....No assists....and don't know how many turnovers....Typically some....Hard to believe someone could be that "bad".....
This is the "norm"....Not an out-lier....He continually is not guarded and the other team gets back in games where we had a significant lead....
You can't play someone and keep on force feeding a player that is not a Tier 1 NCAA Player no matter how good of a team mate he is.....It is not fair to the team or the fans....

Yes. He hasn't been playing well.
Not the point of this topic however.

If it's on Twitter/X it must be true
I hope he stays. However, like Sean and his knee, it is important that Tre does what is best for him.
Opening day starting PG for us come November
Understand the point, but when a Kam or Chase or Stevie comes out for Tre, hard to not take some type of a dip. The game Tre got the taunting foul he looked really good. The taunting foul kind of put a damper on things for him. Hope he finds his mojo. Can be a good one. Built like a Butch Lee. Good motor on the kid.

Curious why you believe this. Not giving up on Tre it's been a very disappointing season for him.
Is it more about the uncertainty when it comes to Jones and James?
This chain should be deleted.
It takes 30 seconds to see that it is just a fan account

One of the great understatements. Add to it his entire run at MU and you're at least stepping toward the full truth on him.
Why pile on the guy? Its obvious he's not playing well. He has played a total of seven minutes in the last four games so it's not as though Shaka is giving him more time than he deserves.

This is major college basketball for starters. He's getting Nil money and a full ride most kids could only dream of. Every minute he's played outside of garbage/ walk on time has been undeserved. He clearly has no business playing at this level and has been blatantly obvious the whole time.

if Tre is not high D-1 talent, and it seems he is not, why would you hope he stays? Isn't it a win-win for both Tre and MU for a change?

Yes, he might have success a level or two down. There's no hope for success at this level for him. Keeping someone who's a square peg is not helping him.
My goodness this is pathetic.

I feel like he is receiving more criticism than is deserved given that he hardly plays. Don't care one bit about his scholarship or NIL.
I don't give up on players developing and I remain optimistic.
Tre's "job" this year is to spell the Senior guards for spot minutes, play physical hard-nosed defense and defer to others on offense.
I'm not sure if next year he can be more effective offensively given more minutes and knowing that he has a larger role on that end. His shot needs a lot of work. He can drive to the basket fairly effectively and finish at a decent rate.
I guess, to quote Tower/MU82, that "we'll see" if he does stick around.

...I think it's more-so the scholly could be applied to a more talented player that hopefully can help MU win games. I have no doubt Tre is a good guy, student and teammate. Reps MU well.
People sure are credulous of twitter posts still eh

I'm sure we could say that about a player on every team in college basketball.
Clearly a tweet with no source, but scoop never lets reality get in the way of a good sh*t slinging contest.
I still believe Tre's best days at Marquette are in front of him. The shot needs work, but the finishing at the rim has greatly improved. Progress isn't linear, and I do expect him to spell pg at times next year.

Reality sucks. It requires rationality, accountability, logic, and the ability to discriminate whether a statement has supporting evidence or a solid argument vs. BS.
You're such a wet blanket! Scoopers are having fun, and then you shove this in their faces.

While I understand that progress isn't linear, unlike with Zaide, I just don't see much to think that significant progress is going to occur here. At best I see him as a bench guy with a "defensive energy", and senior leader type of role. Think a lesser version of Stevie.
This is ridiculous. Get rid of this thread entirely.
There is also now more flexibility for both the coach and the player with 15 scholarships.
Both Shaka and Tre are aware of his struggles.
If Tre is ok with staying and competing for playing time with Sean and Nigel I don't think Shaka will boot him. If Tre believes his best opportunity for significant playing time elsewhere is to leave than that's what he will do.
But Tre staying won't stop the staff from building good teams.

Please. I hope you are not comparing him to Butch Lee.
utch Lee.
This is absolutely fake.
Though the notion that Tre transfers down the competition ladder is quite possible. It'll depend on what lower schools will offer him vs the balanced nil at mu.
If he starts next season, the comparisons will inevitably be to Derek Wilson. However, with the ball handling and versatility at the other positions, perhaps a caretaker PG with size will be what that team needs.
Or he could transfer. Best of luck either way.
He brings nothing to the table when he plays and there's a reason he gets very limited playing time. If he sticks around, his limited playing time will probably continue.

How exactly is he built like Butch Lee? Lee was under 6'. Junior cadougan was built like Butch Lee.
Jay Bee, what has caught your eye this year that you think he will start at point guard next year? Is it Tre's handle, shot, passing ability or athleticism? We know he can play defense and make some contested layups below the rim with his size so those are both positives, but starter?
Really curious as to what you see. I know you Coach/watch AAU quite a bit from previous posts. So I think you come from a good scouting background. Would just be curious to see your breakdown.

I think he's just acknowledging the rumor that SJ might be transferring

Ah, that would make sense to me. But if he saw more I would definitely be open to it.
Hoping Sean does not transfer. I'd like at least one more going an MU uniform. I wonder if Nigel is just that good?
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Tre moves down a level, but this thread is an absolute dumpster fire - not to mention an invitation for "fans" to pile on a young man who has given hundreds of hours of effort toward the program.
