2024 Transfer Portal

[GoldenEagles03]

Huge addition.  They also had a  2 time NPOY.

Edey is awesome. But also irrelevant to this point/topic.

Lets stay on topic Muggs

[Uncle Rico]

In support  of your points above:
Year Zero Shaka brought in four key transfers

Year One Shaka Kicked tires on a lot of portal candidates,  Only signed one  . Had one MU transfer out. One MU Player went early to NBA

Year Two Shaka had some interest in various portal candidates there were no takers. One MU player went early to NBA Two Transferred Out

Year 3 Two going early to NBA.  Rest of team staying so far .  Haven't heard  of any situations where there is a mutual portal interest yet. Doesn't mean one won't occur.

MU Alumni and Supporters don't have the NIL dollars necessary to buy talent, so Shaka building from within is a solid strategy. Shaka marketing the internal build versus buys as  theme to attract high school talent.

Marquette has plenty of money to buy talent and retain talent.  You're wrong yet again about something.  Pretty remarkable

[GoldenDieners32]

Have heard from someone I trust close to the program there is mutual interest with Rob Avila.

Sign me up.  What needs to be done? 

[Pakuni]

Purdue had a transfer in their starting lineup this year.

Lance Jones.

So did Marquette.

Tyler Kolek.
Jones is the only transfer Purdue has taken since 2019.

I doubt it.

Yep. Heard that as well. He has his own nice NIL deals already. Not looking just for the $$

Yes, everyone should note, just because a player has a "no contact" tag does not mean they are necessarily just following their coach

[PGsHeroes32]

Avila offensively in Shaka system would be nice.

But he aint coming here

[Uncle Rico]

Interesting.  Any gut feeling from what you've heard?

[GoldenDieners32]

Gut feeling, don't want to get ahead of myself but my source is very close to the program and I trust them. Not a done deal but there IS interest

I see sentiments like Herm's repeated here often. To clarify for any Marquette fan that isn't already aware: the more competitive advantages that require money, the better for MU. We're very high on this list of college basketball programs with available funding, behind only a small handful of schools.

[Uncle Rico]

Gut feeling, don't want to get ahead of myself but I would say my source is very close to the program. Not a done deal but there IS interest

Huh.  Would be a pretty wild development.  Pretty sure he does have a visit scheduled for SLU starting Thursday.  If it were done deal he was going there, I'd suspect an announcement by the weekend at the latest.  If not, curiosity piqued

Whatever Herm says, it's the opposite

Yep. Having to take a visit could mean he is not sure. Many transfers dont take visits during the portal season.

[Tyler COLEk]

Avila would be an insane development. Glad to Marquette is at all involved.

[MuggsyB]

Would be the drop the hammer pick-up.  Let's hope this is possible.

Lets club a couple sea lions for good luck

[mileskishnish72]

When I saw that he was in the portal, I posted that he was probably Shaka's kind of big. Did so only because he's a good passer like Oso. Interesting that there is interest. I don't think he'd be a bad pick-up at all.

WTH?  Why are our marine mammals constantly threatened for no reason whatsoever?

[PGsHeroes32]

I mean I did give a reason

[GoldenEagles03]

Tyler Kolek.

There's a difference between a program starter that Kolek was and a plug and play like Jones is.

OK. Whatever hill you want to die on.
Can we assume these reports of Marquette reaching out to Avila, Saran and Hugley are false?
