Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[panda]

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.

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 ?

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.

Of course - he's accountable for this.

OMG.  And Shaka.

Who?

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.

This Karoline Leavitt-esque response is fine, I guess.

The players you've mentioned have contributed in some way. They're bad though, agreed.

There are five starting spots and Hamilton is someone Shaka decided deserved one of them. I don't blame anyone who contributes money to this program for wanting an explanation.

After that response. I have offered to fly VBMG out to meet my mother.

We'll see if he accepts.

I mean, I started it!

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.

That would be different is Chase and Ben were true impact players rather than role players who more often miss in clutch situations than hit.  If Marquette had two impact players in those positions they would likely have 6-8 more wins this year and you would not think the same way. 

I want three impact transfers but two plus the big three's development plus the red shirt and true freshman are still an NCAA team IMO.

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

VBMG,

I agree with you a lot but Shaka's infatuation with Caedin left this team with no true backup center that could take Ben's spot competently.  Ben has had a poor offensive year and Ben being the backup would have been helpful.  Relying on Caedin as backup and Bens poor offensive play has led to a gaping hole in the lineup that a competent D1 recruit or transfer in the pipeline could have filled and may have led to more wins this year.  Maybe only two or three more wins (because I agree with you that the entire senior and junior classes are  the majority of the problem) but still more wins.

Shaka thought he was a starting center. And I agree, the senior and junior classes are the main issue. But this is Caedin's third year in the program. Some guys simply haven't improved. Caedin should've never been recruited in the first place.
