Nigel James announcing at 5pm EST today. All signs point towards MU

[MUbiz]

We offered a 5 star who is ranked give or take #15 in country for 2026.  https://x.com/JJAndrews2026/status/1813033826081186266

Will be an uphill battle as he has an offer from Cal at Arkansas and his dad played at Arkansas.

Thanks for the reminder. Oso and Kolek also have late-afternoon summer games, so a good day to be a Marquette hoops fan!

Sweet! Good add.

This will help to get another kid or two, passing point, what 2 guard or wing would not like that!

I must've missed the commitment after Miletic but before James. Sweet to have 3 locked up already!

Btw, Doddsie also specifically stated it was not James who was going to commit.

[JustinLewisFanClubPres]

Great get. Welcome aboard, Nigel.

[MU82]

Woo-hoo! Way to go, Shaka!

[tower912]

IMO, he/coaching staff thought Ward was going to commit and then he didn't.    Alas. Again, just my opinion.

Let's celebrate this signing.

He is fanatic about not being specific so,the kid can have his moment.......it was James......it was also hinted at by multiple other sources.........as I said at the time.....just be patient.....time frames can be a little fluid in recruiting but this commitment was known for awhile.

On to the next one.

No doubt Shaka went all out trying to lock up a commitment from Ward, but Cam stuck to his timeline. 

Every interview, Cam gushes about Shaka and Marquette will be in it to the end.  Hopefully Shaka closes the deal.

Shaka is an incredible recruiter. He gets who he wants. And he should. Kids should love to play for him.

[MUbiz]

Nigel is also recruiting Cam Ward to Marquette.

Agree that Shaka's an incredible recruiter. Obviously, though, he doesn't get whoever he wants.
