I'll be honest, unless Markus leaves, I'm not expecting a grad transfer. Still, we enjoy tracking them. We have breakdowns of the top 15 on the market and 15 bonus names

I wouldn't be going after VaTech's player. Wonder if this was a reason that Buzz and the VPI administration were suddenly not seeing eye to eye.

New school same Bazz. Explains the rumors that VT had "messed with Bazz's happy" going into this season. I'm more confident than ever that we're better off without him.
-
This just became the most important thread of the offseason. Even if (when) Symir comes, we now have two openings. Need a high impact player to supplement the loss.
-
I'm working on an update that should come out in the next few days.
But if I'm Wojo, I'm looking at:
Kerry Blackshear
Rayjon Tucker Jr
Justin Pierce
Daniel Utomi
Keith Stone
Matt Ryan
Alihan Demir
Pat Andree
The top two virtually make up for a lost Hauser. The others would go a long way towards filling the gaps they left behind.

Update posted. Lots of talent available, unfortunately it's mostly guards.

We have not seen MU mentioned with a single grad transfer to this point...that is disturbing. Especially since it seems Wojo knew the hausers were transferring already in March...why was he not out in front of it and getting involved with some of these guys??

Not too much of a surprise. Pickiel recruited him to Stony Brook before he left for Rutgers. Unfortunate, I think he fit our needs in a lot of different ways. Looks like we are all in on Johnson or a future grad transfer who has yet to announce their transfer.

I think the kid from West Virginia would be persona non grata at MU, however, someone else in our league like DePaul might be willing to take the risk for a year.

Both the players out on suspension actually could fit our needs nicely. Clarke and Harris both have decent rebounding numbers, decent size, and have theoretical floor stretching ability (Clarke low volume but high %, Harris higher volume, lower %). Given that I can find zero information about programs recruiting them, I'm wondering if they won't be one of those quiet signings that happen late in the offseason. I'm also not certain about Harris' status. He was kicked off the team in February, did he actually stick around and graduate? I don't know.

Jimmy Whitt pulling out of the NBA draft and is going to grad transfer from SMU. Was arguably the Ponies' best player this past season. Not sure we'd get involved because he's not a match for what we need, but I mention him because we were in his final 5 when he committed to Arkansas. He then transferred to SMU who was also in his final 5, only three left eh?
Even though he's not an exact match, he's a talent. Good distributor and slasher. Would give us a ton of flexibility at the point. Biggest concern is that he has no 3 point shot. 16 career 3PMs with under 25% accuracy.

Tamu,
It’s a guard’s game, right.
Great rebounder for a guard and he has a nice mid-range jumper. As you said, he, Kobe and Markus would make an incredible backcourt.
Based on his rebounding and toughness, Jimmy can also shift to play the three, at least defensively. He’s a total pest.
And I feel Greg, Cain and Bailey will surprise us with their 3pt shooting next year (in addition to Sacar and Markus) so I’d love to see him come to Milwaukee.

I would pass here. A step down from both Greg and Sacar.
-
So he’s testing the NBA waters and is possibly SMU’s best player, but is a step down from Greg and Sacar.
If that’s the case, Greg and Sacar must be first round picks!

He had no chance at the NBA. He is not SMU's best player. He may be 2nd or 3rd best on the team.

You watch a lot of Pony basketball forgetful?
I guess best player is a subjective term but I think a guy who is 3rd in points, 1st in rebounds (as a 6'3 guard), 1st in assists, 1st in steals, was considered the top perimeter defender, all with a nice low TO% of 10.7% has a pretty strong argument. This is all with him playing through a shoulder injury for a good chunk of the season which Whitt described as something that made him play one handed for part of the season.
Personally, I'd put him at least on par with Sacar, probably a little above and above anything we've seen from Greg so far.

Don’t see a fit, either, but he’d have the potential to be pretty dynamic with Markus. Plus defender part intrigued me as well. Gives you lots of options defensively to really grind down opposing guards.
Purely speculative, of course

Zio Rico
Spot on. He and Kobe could really punish the opponents defensively.
And he is a slasher/penetrator who has a keen eye for the open man. Considering the possible necessity to play two bigs at a time, this can open up Ed/Theo/Jayce for some really easy buckets as their defender slides to help.
-
Bring in a guy like Whitt and we're probably going to run a 4-out, 1-in, speed-em-up kinda game. With depth, we could really push the pace. Could be really entertaining.
-
He probably will not come here if he does not fit. However, why would people pass on him. He would be using a scholarship we are not using anyway. He has to be better than nothing.

Rutgers Eugene Omoruyi (sp?) grad transferring.
Yes please.
-
Tevin Mack also grad transferring. Could be a nice piece in the wing rotation.
-
The team went through a high profile transfer of 2 players. They now have 11 under scholarship with the chance Symir Torrence joins this fall. You've gotten a couple guys to stay that were considering grad transferring and the last 2 posts are about grad transfers who would compete directly with those 2 returning players.
Pass. Stay at 11 and 12 if Torrence wants to come.

If the grad transfers are better players...You take them Ted. I know you're a HUGE chemistry guy, and I respect that, but at some point, you have to understand that talent trumps all else. You can have the "nicest" team in the country where everyone gets along great..but if they aren't very good at basketball, what does that get you?? I'm not saying that's the current MU team at all, it's just an example.
There's over 700 transfers every year now...it's the way it is in CBB whether we like it or not. If I can bring in someone that's better than someone I currently have on the roster, don't I owe it to my team as a Head Coach, to do that?? The first responsibility is to win.

He said, “I’m fabulously rich...come on, just let’s go..”

I'm not the kind of guy who takes an all-or-nothing, black-or-white, I'm-right-and-everybody-else-is-wrong look at these kinds of things.
It is up to the coach to assess situations like these. Can he bring in a top player without crushing the team's morale? Can Player A take a challenge better than Player B can? Do I, as a coach, have the ability to keep all the key players reasonably happy?
Generally, I am in favor of upgrading the talent whenever possible. Always be recruiting. But I do value chemistry. Virginia and Texas Tech were both classic examples of teams whose chemistry levels meant more than the high school rankings of the players their coaches brought in.
If Wojo brought in one of the grad transfers we are discussing, I would trust his judgment. Chartouney aside, Wojo has had a pretty good record with these guys -- and JCS just wasn't very good at high-major basketball; he actually was a good chemistry guy by all accounts. Even before Wojo, guys who were brought in for just one year -- Rob Jackson, Lockett, Carlino, Reinhardt -- did pretty darn well at Marquette.
But if Wojo decides it's not worth the potential upset to chemistry, I would trust his judgment on that, too. Nobody knows the inner workings of this team better than he and his assistants do.
-
Rutgers Eugene Omoruyi (sp?) grad transferring.
Yes please.
Played at Orangeville Prep with Khalif Young. IIRC, Marquette had some interest in Omoruyi coming out of prep school.
A name worth monitoring. We'll see if Marquette gets involved or not. Wojo gets paid the big bucks to make these kind of decisions.
-
Would love some depth at the forward. Would like a better shooter than Omoruyi but he is at least a threat to score from outside. May not matter as the addition of Jayce makes me think we will be running a different offense next season.
Tevin Mack also grad transferring. Could be a nice piece in the wing rotation.
I'd actually prefer Mack to Omoruyi, better fit for what we need and while he was just okay at Alabama, he was pretty great at Texas. I seem to recall some off the court conduct issues with Mack at Texas so that would need to be evaluated. Would love if we kicked the tires on either of them.
-
Bullcrap.
To me, the guys on the team have to ask themselves, what's more important...winning or "me"?? IF it's winning(which it should be), then they should welcome any talent that will make them a better team...ESPECIALLY after losing two players as talented as Sam and Joey were.

I’ve seen it reported the other way as well.

The other possibility with a grad transfer wing is that it could open up the opportunity for Jamal Cain to redshirt, which was at least rumored at some point. As it stands right now, he would certainly have to play, and likely significant minutes. Add someone like Mack & Jamal might be able to use the year to work on his strength & develop his outside shot, which could pay longer term dividends (as well as keep the Jamal/Greg comedy duo together another year, which is just as crucial...those guys are awesome together).

With Buzz and Ahmed Hill going to VT, and Sam to UVA, I think it's only fair for Blackshear to be the player to be named later in the trade.

Jaylen Fisher withdrawing from NBA, returning to school, transferring from TCU.
The transfer news isn't new, it's been known for awhile. Only thing that might have stopped a transfer is the unlikely event that Fisher actually went pro.

The story always told around here was that Grimes led Wojo and crew and on. I was never sure about that narrative. Didn't make a lot of sense to me. If the two sides left on good terms, I'd expect a reach out.

Channeling his inner Al McGuire, Coach John Calipari to gathered reporters:
“Brad is my son...and, at Kentucky, in order for anyone to start and play ahead of my son, it has to be a clear knockout”......
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-......11......12.......13.......14........15........
Brad? Bradley? ($$$Smelling Salts). Brad? Son?
-
After doing more research, I'm not seeing anything about Omoruyi being a grad transfer. Sit 1, play 1. In fact, there seems to be some speculation that one of the reasons for the transfer is so he can rehabilitate his knees. If you have to sit out a year anyway, why not transfer some place better than Rutgers?
-
Sorry, spent all my money to keep the Hausers from going to Wisconsin.
Nicely done.

Does calipari actually have a chance at getting minutes at another good D1 school?

Allie McGuire could actually play. He scored 777 points (9.1 ppg) and dished 322 assists (3.8 apg) in 85 career games at Marquette. He was even selected by the Knicks in the third round of the 1973 NBA draft -- although he only appeared in 2 games.
Brad Calipari was unranked coming out of high school and walked on at Kentucky. He's scored 11 points (0.4 ppg) and dished 2 assists (0.1 apg) in 27 career games so far.
I don't see much demand at the D1 level. But who knows?
-
I'm not expecting us to pursue anymore grad transfers. But this is the first one in a while that I actually think meets our needs:

On Paper Yes. In real life no. He is JC 2.0 not quick enough and too slow to compete effectively at Big East Level. Our team this year is athletic, fast and running so he would screw up the flow on the floor. Did not make 1st 2nd or 3rd team All Patriot which should tell you something .
That said It would not surprise me if a number of teams in the conference including MU take a look. He is a good quality kid and someone like Creighton short on size might take him.
-
Wouldn't expect him to come in and be a starter. Just provide some size and shooting off the bench.

No...I don't want to use a scholarship on just a "guy". If they are going to use the last one this year, use it on someone like Cormac Ryan, who obviously wouldn't be eligible this year, but has some talent.

By my count, we are 6 transfers short of setting the record for most D1 transfers in an offseason. I'd imagine we get it done in the next few weeks.
Turns we didn't need weeks. 5 more transfers since yesterday so we are now tied for the record.

Who are the top available conventional transfers on your list?
List is thin this late in the game. I count about 20 that I think are capable of cracking Marquette's roster at some point in their careers still available. The ones I'd actually consider based on talent alone:
1. Quentin Grimes (Kansas)
2. Jaylen Fisher (TCU)
3. Cormac Ryan (Stanford)
4. Donnie Tillman (Utah)
5. Devonaire Doutrive (Arizona)
6. Brandon Mahan (TAMU)
7. Rashad Williams (Cleveland State)
8. Damari Milstead (Grand Canyon)

Directly, no. There was some smoke at first because of an article indicating how he would fit here, followed by Tipton Edits (a popular social media account with recruits) reposting a pic of Grimes with Marquette mentioned, but I haven't actually seen anything from Grimes, Twitter follows, or any reliable reporters indicating MU is involved.
I'd bet it's either Houston or TAMU.

Thanks, ya I saw the tipton thing, but hadn't heard much since. Always haven't really been paying close attention.

We've done it. Two more names in the transfer portal and if my counts are correct, we now have a new record for most transfers in a single offseason, 894. Should easily break 900 by the start of next season.

I think the Tweet you're referring to was posted about a week ago by Jon Rothstein. He reported that Ryan is considering Butler, Davidson, Gonzaga, Marquette, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Penn, Texas, Villanova, Virginia and Yale. No news since then.

Ya that was the one.

Creighton signs 6-11 Kelvin Jones grad transfer from Idaho State. The Jays only had two guys bigger than 6-6 so at a minimum Kelvin provides them another large body and 5 fouls.

Jones will be interesting. He had good rebounding numbers for a terrible Idaho State team, but how much of that was being one of only two players in the league that was 6'10" or taller & played regular (12+) minutes per game? Not sure he's a high major guy, despite the interest he received.

Nice landing spot for him. The one piece Florida was missing was a big man. With Blackshear in the fold I think they are top 5 team next season. Mike White is probably the only realistic candidate that was available when we hired Wojo that I wish we would have hired instead. Don't remember his name coming up at all but he's been pretty solid at Florida.
