Brutal. If they lose Garcia, too, they’ll be pretty mediocre at best next year. Kind of hoped to avoid another one of those years and hit the floor running but I simply don’t see it. Roster isn’t set, of course, but as it stands, woof

Congrats to DJ. Exciting opportunity.

I honestly wouldn't be stunned if its just Justin Lewis and Oso left.

I really hope Morsell is coming.

The timing allows Marquette to regroup on the recruiting front. The summer will be important to develop team chemistry with so many newcomers. This is an unprecedented roster realignment.

Lol. If DJ plays 1 minute in the nba next season I’d be absolutely floored. He may ultimately make it there but he’s a longgggg way away.

Yeah, that's not happening. Doesn't mean he won't be making some decent cash somewhere though.

For sure. Was moreso responding to the “to the NBA” comment. Not DJs ability to make solid money playing somewhere overseas.

Good luck DJ!

Perhaps I was too optimistic that Carton would fit in next year. Because I can't see Shaka getting a higher rater transfer in at guard, and wouldn't expect them to meld with the team immediately. We'll see.

True story.

At least Carton can actually play real NBA minutes in a couple of years time. First former MUBB guy we can say that about in a while

Hards Alumni · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2021, 06:24:50 PM »

He's a G-leaguer to start with a ton of upside.

That remains to be seen. He’s a long way from being an NBA player.

The athleticism is certainly there. The ball handling, shooting and defense? Yeah that's gonna take some work

Don’t tell Guru.

But I agree. This was sounding fun. And I love all the players we have added. But DJ leaving hurts.

We essentially added the same level of recruits that Wojo was getting and may be losing 2/3 of our best returning players.

Scholarship table updated. Back to even (as of now). All scholarships accounted for:

It could be worse. Imagine losing DJ and Garcia to the pros and still having Wojo as the coach.
