Per his twitter

And Ben Steele.

Reclassifying to 2025 from 2026.  6'6 175 on 247 sports.

So this must be the "surprise commit." So surprising I had no idea that Marquette was even recruiting him.

This site has him top 35

[JakeBarnes]

Wow! Let's go!

[MUbiz]

He was ranked #33 in 2026.

[Shooter McGavin]

Nice!  Interesting get by Shaka.  6,8" athlete in shoes and is a sniper from the outside, and gulp, blocks shots?

[MUfan12]

After five minutes of extensive YouTube scouting I'm in.

[Billy Hoyle]

I originally read the title as "Michael Phelps."

Anyone know what went into his decision to reclassify then do it again?

[rocky_warrior]

Updated.  Also added new scholarship limit (though TBD if used)

This is definitely it. Big add for 2025. That class is going to be a monster.

Hard to read that article and not be incredibly pumped with this signing.  Wow.
Add in Stevens, go all-in for Cam Ward, and that's as good a class as you'll ever see at MU IMO.

[Shooter McGavin]

Get Stevens and we will have shooters galore.  Love Miletic and Phillips together in one class.  Two 6,7" shooters on the wings.

Trilly Donovan says Stevens to MU is already done. Now we just need Cam Ward to wrap up 2025 class

Ben Steele pointed out that Phillips attended the same high school as Keeyan Itejere. Given that Itejere was one of Shaka's few transfers out, this is a pretty good sign that there weren't hard feelings there.

Great, and welcome!   Due to his age and reclassification, this feels like a potential redshirt.

But!   Awesome.   It is clear that MU is signing switchables.   Love it. 2-3 bigs, 2-3 PGs, and a whole lot of mix and match, interchangeable wings with size, skill, athleticism, and versatility.

[GoldenEagles03]

Just a really great signing by Shaka.

Scholarships going from 13 to 15 gives coaches a chance to take a shot on some younger guys that have a lot of potential to grow into. Should be fun to watch this staff work with guys like Clark and Phillips.

Per his Twitter he states 2025 was his original class for what it's worth.

[tower912]

I read it.  I also see he is going to be Markus-esque as a 17 year old freshman wing on a deep team.

Turns 17 today so he'll be 18 for his freshman year.  Youngish for his class, but not like Markus.  Im not sure he will redshirt with how athletic and how good of a shooter he already is.  Probably the biggest upside guy in our 2025 class now.
