Transfers in/out 2025-2026

Can't believe how much Chris Grimm prevented Marquette from any kind of success in 2002-2003.  Same with Derrick Wilson in 2012-2013.

Seems like Shaka realized Caedin isn't good enough to play big minutes at this level.  If he's around, he won't be playing meaningful minutes next year.

The confounding question here is why did it take 17 games as a starter, and three years behind the scenes, for Shaka to realize this? Many of us saw Caedin in limited minutes last year and thought "he ain't got it," but were willing to wait and see. But then five games into this season it was obvious to (almost) all of us that Caedin just isn't capable of playing at this level. Yet it took another dozen games for Shaka to come to this obvious conclusion.

Historically, Shaka has had a pretty good eye for talent. His repeated misevaluation of Hamilton is befuddling. And I don't trust that Shaka won't make the same mistake with this player.

I wish that were true, but he often remained a normal piece of the rotation early on in games, getting normal first 10 minutes, regardless of any fouls by others. The staff made crazy effin choices with him in the second half of the season, just not as wild as the first half.

Already addressed this, and it's pretty much #fakenews #lies.

The last 19 games of the season, Caedin averaged 8.9 mpg.  In those 19 games, he played 10+ minutes in 8 of them.  One was against Zuby in a game Ben didn't play, one was in a game Royce played 25 minutes because of foul trouble (4 fouls), one was against Zuby and Royce played 29 minutes because of fouls (4 fouls), one was a game where Royce didn't play, one was a 22 point win when we were curbstomping Providence from start to finish, and one was with Ben playing 15 minutes because of foul trouble (4 fouls).

So in 3 of the final 19 games he played 10+ minutes without any foul trouble or entire games being missed by Royce/Ben.  One of those was a 22 point blowout, a second was exactly 10 minutes.

Except Wades repeatedly showed you that blind spot did not exist in the last 2/3 of the season and you refuse to accept it.

And that blind spot did not exist the last portion of his freshman year either but came back his sophomore year.

He did this two years in a row. That's my point.

10+ minutes isn't some magic figure that's being discussed.

As I said, the staff continued to put him in the regular rotation in the first quarter-frame of games. He was a 'regular' in that regard, and it was effin bizarre. Had zero to do with foul troubles of others.

Common sense

I am absolutely fine with those 3 guys being high effort, character, culture guys and never seeing the floor.

Project players almost never work out anyway, and are more likely to simply transfer down in competition.

Still no reason not to dump Hamilton and Clark. If Sean graduates and moves on that is 4 transfers that can help the team next season. Shaka can recruit one or two "culture" guys over the next few seasons but we need guys that can play now.

There is not one reason for Caedin Hamilton to be on this roster next season.

The goal is to be good and he takes us further away from that goal. This will be his 4th year in the program and he's terrible.

Wish him the best but he needs to be out.

Why do you wish him well?
