2023 Portal Transfers

[Its DJOver]

We lost 51 minutes of play time. They don't "need" to do anything. Recruit 2024.

No reason you can't do that while also getting a one year grad transfer big. It's not an either/or situation.

[Tha Hound]

As of 3/28/23 the only player I've seen us reportedly make contact with is: Tyler Nickel - FR/6'7/UNC. High school scouting report:

"Has adequate length for a combo forward. Is well built with a physical strength edge to his game a high level shooting touch. Not an explosive athlete but can make plays and draw fouls in contact with his physical strength and aggressive mindset. Can post up and has an array of turn around fade away shots. More importantly for the next level, he is a marksman from behind the line. Is developing deep range. Loves to fire moving to his left. Steady ball handler who can find the open man. Not the type to break defenders down with the dribble. Positional rebounder. Defending is an area of concern."

Has anybody seen anyone else?

Has anybody seen anyone else?

Only one I've seen so far.

[JTJ3]

Anybody know anything about Andrew Rohde? Just assumed Badgers for him.

6'6" shooter, heard he is close with Joplin.

Maybe he could be a target.  Not a bruiser like some are hoping for but, a scorer and shooter with decent size.

Marquette would be at or near the top of his list if there were guaranteed minutes available.  But too many guards ahead of him so he is looking elsewhere.  He is more of a PG type, and we have multiple ball handlers ahead of him.  Same scenario with Jackson Paveltzky too, just not a big enough role available here.

I'd temper enthusiasm on an "impact" transfer unless someone who played major minutes leaves

[Mu8891]

Well ... there are some minutes available for a 4/5 that can bang, rebound and clog the middle on D.

I'd also see poss minutes for a " pure "
3 point shooter.

And ... the one right guy can come in and not disrupt team chemistry

Agreed. If the roster holds, I'd expect the last scholarship to either get banked or to go to a guy like Nickel who could provide depth at forward next season and potentially develop into a starter in 24-25.

If a major contributor leaves, then maybe we see an impact player come in to replace them...or to replace their backup so that their backup can take their place. For example, if OMax went pro, I could see Joplin taking his spot in the starting lineup but a transfer with OMax's skillset being recruited to take Jop's place as the 6th man.

Zach Edey just dunked on Dakich.

I like Dakich, but this is a sick burn.

Probably not a popular opinion but I'd bank the spot unless they get a guy that has bigger upside ala OMax

I'm of the same opinion. This roster already has everything it needs, it's just a matter of whether Shaka can keep them together and develop them further

[NickelDimer]

The roster is pretty damn close to complete but we could use an attacking guard that can get to the basket and create his own shot. That said maybe we see Ross or SJ become that player.

It's going to be hard to convince that type of guard to come to Marquette with the current roster construct

Sounds like Tre Norman.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

If the scholarship goes unused, sign four in 2024.  Mohammed, Abraham, Owens, and Parham/Tchandy would be an awesome class.

[GoldenEagles03]

Sounds like Tre Norman.

Yup!

He's a very 2000's era guard. In your face defensively and very good at pullup jumpers. Will be interesting to see if they make him eliminate his midrange game because the pullup midrange is one of his strengths.

Seems the rumor has been Justin Moore.

Would be crazy to see Nova crumble like that.

They really might take 11th next year.

[Pepe Sylvia]

just a bunch of st. johns guys, storr, stanley and king, no big deal

Hah, A tease.  3 SJU players, yawn.

[GoldenEagles03]

Huge deal!

3 impact players.  They played for a mess of a team but these 3 players are talented.

Not talented enough for Pitino.

[nyg]

Bradley Ezewiro, Georgetown.  Will be a nice backup

Jayden Pierre, Providence. 

Georgetown, Providence, X, St. Johns have some serious roster openings. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Not talented enough for Pitino.

Not the way the phrasing makes it sound.  Seems as though they are leaving. There were rumblings that Pitino wanted Storr to stay in the worst way.

I'm sure he'll be just fine in replacing them but these are 3 good players that could impact college basketball if they land at the right spots.

Storr and Stanley for sure anyways.

[rocky_warrior]

There were rumblings that Pitino wanted Storr to stay in the worst way.

Ehh...with Storr I believe the wording was he "invited him to stay".   I have a feeling the rest of the proposal wasn't to Storr's liking.  Sure they're "leaving", but it doesn't sound like Pitino tried very hard to retain any of them.
