Fantastic news!
No mention of a reclass. Though I do wonder if that comes after he finishes his current school year - or maybe not at all and he's simply a '26 guy.
Either way great news.
Awesome!
Welcome Sheek!

Excellent! Great start to the class of 2026.
Le freak, c'est Sheek, Freak Out !
Welcome, young man.
For those who commented at the time that our loss would negatively impact his recruitment
Pearson: "I was at the Xavier game (Sat., Jan. 18). It wasn't the post season game in NY but the regular season game in Milwaukee. They happened to lose that game, so for me, it was good to be in a team film session when they lost v. if they had won ... it was not good that they lost, obviously ... but from a recruit's perspective, it was good to see the full effect there was after a loss ... how they all went about responding."

Hard not to think about what Oso became after reading that article.
Another recruit references culture. Huh.
And the gap widens
Heard he needs to finish up some extra schoolwork this summer for the reclass to be official. Makes sense neither side will announce it until it is official.
Plus he still gets to play AAU this summer to increase his rankings, for those who care about that haha.
That's great news. I know his sister playing volleyball at Iowa State helped their cause a little bit. But he found his best fit at MU. Welcome Sheek.
Seems like we finally got our version of Jameel McKay all these years later.
Can't wait to see Sheek in the mix and what this staff can do with a high-caliber HS big.
Welcome 2 Warrior Nation, Sheek!
Welcome Sheek
KA FRIKIN BOOOOOOOM!!!!!! LFG!!!!
Great to get a big fella. Welcome young man.
Great news! Welcome Sheek!

That's cool - thanks for posting this.
Very excited about Shaka landing a top priority - and a big man who has the agility to both block shots and do all the other things Marquette wants in a 5.
Welcome to Marquette, Sheek!

Glad he is already saying that losing is not only acceptable, but encouraged to maintain culture.
Finally,a real good big! Let's see what we can do with this years and next years recruits!LFG

Was Oso not "a real good big?"
Is he still growing? I like the kid.
Enjoy it while it lasts!

You can't teach height.
