2022 Transfer Portal Thread

Too bad but Washington would be a huge get, and him along with Justin staying would set us up for a great year.

If Justin stays, expect him to play a lot more small ball 5 for Marquette next year. That's where a lot of NBA Scouts see him. I wouldn't be surprised if Wrightsil is the staffs guy instead ahead of Washington. I only see Washington coming in if someone other than Greg leaves.

A starting lineup with OMax, Wrightsil, Lewis up front is intriguing.

Lacking traditional center size but still a sizable lineup at 6'8", 6'7", 6'7" that knows how to rebound.

It could work given that Gold, Itejere, and Oso can provide a group rim protecting presence off the bench with their size and athleticism.

'09-'10 Marquette made the NCAA Tournament as a 6 seed with an 8 man rotation and starting lineup of

5'8"- Acker
6'0"- Cubillan
6'2"- Johnson-Odom
6'7"- Butler
6'6"- Hayward

Even less size and less depth than the proposed roster/lineup above.

A lot of ways Marquette could go with this roster. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

And he was 6'6 in listing only. Got that Charles Barkley bump.

True, but one of those could end up as a Hall of Famer, another was a first-round draft pick and another got time in the NBA.

Hopefully, we have three future NBA players -- including a multiple All-Star -- on our roster next season.

And another part-time NBA player (Buycks) was first off the bench.

You can call it crazy but it's happening. Coaches have limited time,  resources, and energy to dedicate to recruiting and with the changes to the transfer portal,  many of them are shifting their focus from high school recruits towards the transfer portal. That doesn't mean that the are abandoning high school recruiting,  it's just a smaller part of the puzzle than it used to be

I think the smart guys will set up their staffs (recruiters) like the NFL does - a director of scouting for college and a director of scouting for pro personnel. Colleges will have a guy (or 3) that scout and recruit for HS and also a guy or two that scout and recruit out of the portal. The sheer volume of players now would seem to make it necessary.

That’s a bit misleading, Buycks wasn’t anything special when he was at Marquette.

I mean hell, Cadougan was pretty much splitting minutes with him by the end of the season.

Stating that a guy who was a part-time NBA player was a part-time NBA player is "misleading?"
OK.

And Butler wasn't drafted until the next year either.

Point remains, there was several players with NBA talent on that team.

[brewcity77]

Doubt Marquette will be in on him, but SMU's Kendrick Davis is in the portal. The PG was AAC player of the year and is probably the top overall transfer at this point.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

The Badger board is very confident in landing Kamari McGee.  Their equivalent of Big Daddy even says it's "in the bag."

And, yes, he will be on scholarship according to Twitter reports.

I don’t see a Big Ten player in McGee but they always turn guys like this into something

[Superfan]

If that’s their most interesting “landing” they’re in a world of hurt.

Cannibalizing their own, hey?

Yes. And thanks to Pak for adding Buycks.

Next year's Marquette team almost certainly will not be as talented as the 2010 team.

Doesn't mean we won't be talented enough to win, though. We don't know yet.

I like this move for them. The second straight season with an uninspiring guard transfer.

Marquette no longer on Noah Carter's list.

We're going to hate him.  He's going to play aggressive tight defense, draw charges, and do the little things.  I'm not sure what he will bring on offense.

Which sucks because Kam is one of the kindest, most mature, young men that I have ever taught.  Fortunately I'll only have to cheer against him three times.

Awesome! Didn't like the fit. Better options available.

I think Wrightsil is done.

As in donedeal, or done finished?

[forgetful]

If we were to go after a PG, he's the one I'd want. I can see him playing opposite Kolek, and would give us a big scoring punch, while still being a distributor. Could allow Kolek to move to the 2 at times, where he can catch and shoot.

[MuggsyB]

I think Wrightsil is done.

What could we be looking at with this kid?  Is he worth having for 1 year? 

[Tha Hound]

I think Wrightsil is done.

Adding a one and done, 4 year NAIA guy as the only offseason pickup (given our scholarship situation) wouldn’t be ideal in my mind. His numbers and accolades are obviously good, but that’s a huge, huge jump in competition and we need some proven high-level production.

It depends on whether Lewis is back and if we add another badass type guy imo.
