Recruiting as of 9/15/25

[100AcreNation]

2024 - Hamilton, Parham, Owens
2025 - Stevens, James, Phillips, Clark
2026 - Pearson, Miletic, Egbuonu, Johnston

That's a really nice spacing of talent across 3 classes.  Add in the fact that we're in on some major studs in 2027, I like how this roster is shaping up.  Need a PG in 2027, but the athleticism and length is wild.

Nash Walker is also somewhere in the mix, depending on when he arrives at MU and if he is a RS candidate.

So who are the early speculative candidates to red-shirt next year? We're full up and I don't foresee a 15 man rotation.

My guess - Nash Walker. Johnston is a candidate, but he is also a top 90 guy,  so not likely.

247 lists Johnston at 146. If the rumors of Walker coming in January are true would he wait a year and a half to play? Good problems to have but questions nonetheless.

You didn't list Australian recruit 6'6" sharpshooter lefty Nash Walker.

ah my bad - i read that wrong with Johnston!

Johnston is the obvious redshirt candidate to me.  Very skilled, but very skinny and the jumper needs work.

Giannis.

Alex and Nash are really good players to build on

[MU82]

Given your next post, you probably could have skipped this one.

I tried to replace the first with the second but messed up. Glad Shaka didn't mess up the recruitment!

That's joyless willie to you.

I'm pretty confident that in the very near future all these Big East fanbases clowning Shaka for his strategy will be wishing they had what we had. Aside from UConn of course.

St. Johns has a short window with Pitino and everyone else is kinda needing results fast to avoid hitting any kind of panic button. Shaka has an established formula of success that no other school in this league has outside of UConn and then Creighton who has McDermott on the way out very soon.

I'm going with "eggboner".
