Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[Biggie Clausen]

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a jerk, so I'm just going to say it: I don't give a damn whether or not Tre, Sean, or Josh leave.  But I want Caedin gone.  Mainly because he has no business playing high major basketball, and perhaps even D1 basketball altogether.  But it goes beyond that.

He is not only the poster boy for RGV, he is the embodiment of everything that has gone wrong during this disastrous season.  From referring to himself as "the biggest, baddest m'fer in the Big East" in that stupid pre-season article, to the well-embedded moles, to his obvious status as the coach's pet, his presence on the team is Example 1A of the echo chamber everyone associated with the program was living in before this awful campaign began.

People say Shaka doesn't owe the fans anything, but after the worst season in program history, I think he owes us a pound of flesh.  And for me, that means getting rid of Caedin.

All 4 of those kids are not worth keeping. We will see how Shaka deals with this.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Just to summarize - since 1/10 (6 weeks ago) we are 3-9 with zero road wins and zero quad one wins. That is not even remotely close to a bubble team. Stop with this nonsense.

It's hard to predict next years results without knowledge of who will be here, but based off of 2 incoming transfers, we do not have remotely enough depth to compete next season. Too many freshmen and sophomores who have yet to prove themselves. Teams who barely get to 10 wins in a season don't double their win total by only adding 2 pieces. That's not drama, it's reality. 

2 hypothetical pieces? 

Counting is hard.

You should have just stopped right there.

" Tolerated?  By drama kings like you?  No.  By rational MU fans, yes.  If Sean transfers out, and Shaka has Zaide and Sean's roster spots to use - and is able to afford/land two transfers or roughly the caliber of Morsell and Kur Kuath - next year's team even with Tre and Caedin on the roster (assuming no transfers out of Nigel, Stevens, Parham, Owens) will be an NCAA team."

This is musk's post which I responded to.

Zaide = 1
Sean = 2

Do you understand or should I make it simpler for you?

[panda]

You willing to put your money where your mouth is that Shakas fired if we get a 7 seed or greater?

He shouldn't/wont get fired making the tournament. But he's gone if he misses it.

Oh, so not a single redshirt or freshman will contribute next season?

I don't agree with all of this, but Biggie is making a point within there: Caedin was a zero star recruit and has played like a zero star recruit. Time for it to be over. His recruitment is a huge part of the reason why this is the worst MU team in the last 30 years.

Sheek will have a role to play. We'll see how he can adjust. Bigs have a harder time than guards making an instant impact their freshman year. Otherwise, no I don't see any other freshman or RS freshman as players who will positively change the course of season next year.

I didn't say "change the course". That's very different than contributing to winning.

I think it's a very reasonable expectation that Egbuonu will contribute next season.

The reality is there are scenarios Marquette is a tourney team next season with 2, 3, or 4 portal additions.

It all depends on the quality of transfers and improvement of returnees.

I don't think anyone who is projected to be on the bench next year will be able to supplement our starting 5 in order to make the ncaa tournament next year if we only add 2 portal pieces.

We have yet to win a road game this year or beat a Q1 team. I really think people are not understanding how devoid of talent this team is top to bottom and how much help is needed next year to change that.

Now substitute "Wojo" for "Shaka" and tell everyone you'd be okay with those results. If you can't admit your analysis would be the complete opposite you're being intellectually dishonest.
#shakaslurper

Oh..you again.  Such a dumb comment, but not surprising.  Did Wojo have a Final Four on his resume coming into Marquette?  Did Wojo lead us to the NCAA Year 1 on the job?  Did Wojo lead us to a 2 seed, Year 2 on the job and win a Big East regular season and conference championship outright?  Did Wojo lead us to a 2 seed Year 3 on the job, or did he bow out Round 1 of Big East tournament and get blasted as a 7 seed?  Did Wojo make the NCAA in Year 4, or go to the NIT?

Wojo had a better Year 5, albeit the year he lost the team, lost 6 of his last 7 going into the NCAA only to get blasted by 19 as a 5 seed.

Did Wojo have a shred of charisma/intellect?  No.  All that being said, not surprised you were a big Wojo guy.

We have a stud freshman PG, and a stud 4 sophomore.  A very nice freshman wing in Stevens.  Phillips and Owens have potential big leaps ahead next season.  Get a solid big in the portal, and one very good wing, and the team is plenty good enough to be an NCAA team next year.

Find one post in my entire career on Scoop (clearly not as prolific as yours) where I said one positive thing about Wojo. Guess what? You won't.

You'll notice I very rarely criticize any player or coach. Probably count them on one hand. You, on the other hand are a hypocrite. Thought Wojo was the devil and think Shaka is the second coming. Using Shaka's accomplishments from 15 years ago isn't the flex you think is. You were also the guy who tried to take some of the credit for Wojo getting sacked.

Just admit you hold Shaka to less of a standard than past coaches. It's okay. You're a Shakaslurper (your term, not mine). At least it'll give you some measure of credibility. Otherwise you have zero self-awareness.

[BCHoopster]

Add Nolan Minnesale as your wing!  Scores 20 a game, need another scorer

No, it's not. Of all the reasons this has been a horrendous season, Hamilton's recruitment is barely relevant.

I hope your mother understands the mouth she is kissing!

MU jumped 50 spots in NET/Kenpom once they benched him.

I'm curious - what makes someone a Shaka slurper?

I'm asking because I have a hard time disagreeing with Elon's views on Shaka and Marquette.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Your mother does.

This Hamilton stuff is ridiculous. Yes, he shouldn't be at this level.

But the reason this team is awful is Chase, Ben, Zaide, Tre and Sean.

OMG.  And Shaka.

My mother is 85.  One of the best people on the planet.

Sounds like we agree then and maybe you misunderstood my previous post

By his own definition relative to Wojo, if you weren't vocally critical of Wojo he would label you a Wojoslurper.

Listen, I'm a huge Shaka fan but unlike Ners I don't think he's free from criticism.
