Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[Pakuni]

We're great at that. Look at this season!

Fair, but now do transfers.

A big part of being successful in the transfer market is identifying players who could thrive in your system beyond what they're doing at their current workplace. And, on the flip side, identifying those who may not replicate here what the success they've had elsewhere.

Anyhow, I remain very interested in Armani Mighty out of Mercer. In three games against P5 opponents (Tennessee, Clemson and UCF), he's averaged 12.3 ppg and 7 rpg while shooting 65% from the floor.

Agree.

And I'd be mighty interested in Armani, too; sounds like he'd suit us.

Allen Graves from Santa Clara might be a nice fit if he enters the portal.

If he doesn't enter the NBA draft, he would be one of the most sought after PF in the portal.

We've been told that MU has plenty of money.

[JTJ3]

I believe Duke is involved with Graves.  Similar to Coward last year, its NBA vs. Duke.

[SchnitzelBoy]

That'd be a big get, but I doubt MU can swing it if Duke is in play. Also, I think we want "sure things" when it comes to this transfer portal. We don't want to get a commitment from a guy that's exploring the combine and draft process only to have them go to the league.

I love Stevens the prospect but Steven's the sophomore starter being leaned upon to take a single digit win team to 20ish wins? We need help man.


Also - care to address your bubble team statement ?

Getting ahead of this one - bad take. Stevens proving himself big time today !

He's been proving himself for a while. His offense has actually never been the concern for me. With James at PG, he at the very least will be very valuable spreading the court with his shooting ability. But I think he'll develop into a really balanced scorer.

People compare him to Stevie and I don't see it. He's far more skilled offensively than Stevie. But nowhere near the disrupter Stevie was on either end of the court. If Stevens turns into Stevie defensively, he'll play in the NBA for a long time.

[GoldenEagles03]

I'm afraid that I'm setting myself up for disappointment in the portal.

This team has sky high potential if they go all in during this portal circuit. I'm not sure it's realistic but this team could be so good if they invest in this core.

Stevens is a STUD.

Agree - he had a bunch of milk carton games early on which skewed my judgement. He's scoring in a lot of different ways now and never forces his shot. Smart player

[BCHoopster]

Need a backup combo guard, somebody that can score a few, a Carrington type of player the Badgers have, would be great

Watched Byrd play for San Diego State last night.

Good athlete, plus defender. Anticipates well in help defense. Had a nice play when he missed an 3 but then stole the ball and went in for a dunk.

Unfortunately, he got hurt (ankle, I think). Gutted it out but was definitely hampered. Didn't shoot much after the injury.

Haven't seen him play and don't know anything about him other than what I've read here and a quick look at his stats.

If he's as good defensively as he sounds, that's a huge need for next season's team.  I also imagine he could be much more efficient offensively in Marquette's system and with good talent around him.

Maybe he's getting the prerequisite walking boot before he can transfer to Marquette.

[Zog from Margo]

Watched St. Thomas and North Dakota. Entertaining game. No BE players on the floor. I'd rather take my chances with MU's redshirts and incoming frosh. Need to find transfers from elsewhere, IMO.

[WarriorFan]

After the UCONN game any changes of thoughts on who needs to go? 
For me, none.  Keep James, Parham, Stevens.  Everyone else on the block in case there's a better player out there.

That's not how this is going to work. There will be two or three. Most of the roster will be back.

I think people are going to discover that landing players better than the senior versions of Ross and Gold is going to be a lot harder than people think.

The competition is going to be fierce when you consider all of the teams that have to replace the transfers they brought in this year and players going pro that will be moving on. Think about Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, UConn, and several other Big East teams as examples.

If MU challenges for an NCAA bid next year it's going to come from improvement from the underclass players, contributions from the redshirts and freshmen, and hopefully one or two veteran transfers to fill some obvious holes.

If that translates to Ws I'll agree with you. A 20 loss season does not instill confidence that that is the case.

Do you watch the games? Or just read the newspaper after every game to see the win and loss columns?

They've started to look a lot better. Our Freshman and Sophomores are our best players and they just beat a 27-3 UConn team. Assuming they use the portal as they've told us, they will be good. No reason to believe they will not be.

Same amount of competition for HS players. UCON, IU, Mich. - 5 freshmen, Wisky - 4 freshmen. MU can compete.

[The Sultan]

I actually don't think you need "better" players necessarily. MU needs some players who fill some roles that are now empty as well as more depth. The names I have seen thrown about are solid players with experience. Pair those types with NJ, AS, and RP, hope for others to emerge, and they'll be fine.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

I'm not even worried too much about what potential transfers can bring offensively, as long as they can be more efficient than Chase and Ben, which shouldn't be that difficult.
