2026 Transfer Portal Wishlist

[onepost]

RGV goes both ways.

If I'm annoyed Shaka has remained loyal to Tre, Caedin, etc. then it's only logical I have faith he's able to retain guys like Nigel. And unlike his refusal to use the portal, we DO have years of evidence he's been able to hold onto Kolek, Oso, Kam when they undoubtedly had huge offers elsewhere. As long as Shaka is here, I'm not worried about Nigel leaving at all.

Love that Shaka is cutting down the rotation (Caedin played 2 minutes, Tre played 4 regulation minutes, 6 after Chase fouled out in OT) and Royce and Damarius have both excelled in larger roles in conjunction. That's an awesome development in conference play.

With the exception of NJ which Marquette players would be highly regarded based on their performance on the court come this spring?

I don't think any other player, as it stands today, would command a massive payment on the open market. 

However, with the way Royce has been trending (at least offensively), it's possible he could have some nice opportunities.

Egbuonu is always sharing posts about Ebuka Okorie.  Maybe he can get Okorie to join him at Marquette.

He ain't going anywhere, folks.

Great to hear.  This could turn around in a hurry next year.
