2026 Transfer Portal Wishlist

[tower912]

The more I think about it, the funnier and more revealing this becomes.

It is an incontrovertible fact that there are currently no roster openings for next season.

It is an incontrovertible fact that of the 15 players currently projected for next season, 10 are listed as between 6'3 and 6'8.

It is an incontrovertible fact that this MU team is shooting poorly from 3.

It is an incontrovertible fact that the first player listed in this wish list thread is listed at 6'5 and shooting poorly from 3 for a Summit league team.

Facts.  Panda calls them annoying tropes and Viper says nobody pays attention to them.   I mean, seriously.  What could be more revealing?   Thanks for the dopamine, boys.

Your DM was all performance art, wasn't it?  You knew damn well you were utterly full of crape and that you were gaslight trolling.   The funny thing is, so did I.   And you just keep proving it.  Thanks for the laughs.

at the time, no. Now? Gloves off, Crafty.

I worry sometimes that Scoop may be a significant contributer to the male loneliness epidemic. We've gone from tinfoil hat jokes to real tinfoil hats.

Or just a confirmation that the internet has allowed people to conflate feelings and lack of personal consequences with being right.

Either way...woof.

We should be working on slapping of fives and community around us and less on the little internet box that feeds lies all day.

Also, ND sucks. Retire 0. RGV 5 EVA.

The 2026-27 scholarship table looks very bleak in the short term. MU needs experience and skill across the board to compete over the next couple of years. To even bother discussing incoming transfers one would have to accept the roster's shortcomings and consider who would be elsewhere to make room for said players.

Upperclassmen: Between Parham, Lowery, Norman, Jones, Hamilton, and Owens I think at least two have to move on. It's possible Royce may be the only high level difference maker in his time here. Not an inspiring group of 'leaders' by any means.

MU is in desperate need of a skilled big man who is not a liability on the court. Someone they can count on to score 12+ppg, rebound and defend at a high level, and play with physicality. Royce is filling up the stat sheet a bit more lately which is good to see. I have relatively high hopes for Sheek after year 1. If no transfer joins, they'll very likely be in worse shape after Gold's departure. Sad.

With Ross graduating I have little belief in Lowery/Norman...an older wing with alpha mentality seems like a no brainer. As for guard, I'm happy with James, but it wouldn't hurt to add an experienced PG in the portal. Jones isn't going to cut it. If NJ goes down, what happens?

Hopefully 3/4 of next year's newcomers (including redshirts) can make an impact like James/Stevens this year. I'd guess Sheek, Miletic, Egbuono and maybe Walker.

If the portal remains out of the question, 3-4 of Shaka's young guys have to be recruiting home runs, and 80% of the others need to be Big East caliber players.

Whoever had the neck obsession here would be elated to have him on the roster

That would be the dead one

[MU82]

first time I disagree with you. No one, NO ONE, gives a shiiit what T has to say. (Well, ok, Sultan, 82, Elon, Wades, Vander, and apparently nyg maybe might)

Compiling an enemies list? Nice. And now tower's on it, too? It's an honor to be with him.

[tower912]

Back atcha.

I'm gonna disagree with this one. Technically, FALSE!.

OK!  EXPLAIN!

[Shooter McGavin]

All scholarships are one year? 

[tower912]

All scholarships are one year? 

Probably.

[Shooter McGavin]

But your point is well taken

Betting the under on MU transfers in to recoup the cost of my Scoop subscription

I see one kid leaving, Sean Jones because he might graduate this year.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Nolan Minessale has the most 20 Point games in all of Division 1 Basketball and his team is 10-4.

. Probably would be the best player on this year's team

[Mu8891]

Right ...
Dis Minessale all you want ( I know his Dad, great guy ) ...

He had 27 points today.  He'd be one of two or three best players on this team.
And ... he's a phenomenal athlete

MU could do A LOT worse. 

But, personally I want a new coach in the portal.

What am I missing about this Minessale kid? He's a sub 30% 3 point shooter who scores a ton of points on a ton of shots taken. I feel like adding another atheltic wing who can't shoot from deep is not something MUBB needs.

The guy who better not leave is Nigel.

[WarriorFan]

There's one kid to protect and that's Nigel.
Stevens probably as well.
No-one else among the returnees is a Big East starter, in the context of MU being in the top 3 in the BEAST and top 25 in the nation.  (my expectation -every year)
Maybe Parham can develop to a competent 6th man who might get more minutes than a starter when he's having a good day.
The others:  buhbye

[panda]

He's better than the bums on this roster. And more heart too

[WhiteTrash]

The guy who better not leave is Nigel.

IMO, he's #1 on the most likely to leave list. 

[PointWarrior]

How soon are we arriving at the point that the only transfer that matters is Shaka?

[79Warrior]

OK!  EXPLAIN!

Probably expecting a transfer. Otherwise, you are correct.
