Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[MU82]

Not to pizz in anybody's cornflakes, but in four games against P5 teams, Byrd scored 32 points on 12-34 (.353) shooting including 4-18 (.222) from 3, with 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 8 turnovers.

His numbers aren't very good against non-P5 teams, either.

He'd have to be one hell of a defensive player to make up for that.

It's OK. He current team just lacks great relationships.

Counterpoint - Morsell's and Prosper's numbers weren't great either.

Funky looking shot but he takes a ton of tough shots, which is a product of SDSU's offense, and that lowers the percentages. SDSU always runs some brutal offenses and it impacts the player's numbers.

He looks like a legitimately good playmaker and defender. We need more offensive connectors, and I think he'd be a good addition. Really quick and athletic. Could definitely see him excelling playing in a faster system.

Byrd, Minessale, and a really good center transfer (better than Byrd and Minessale are as guards/wings) and I'm good, so long as Parhman, NJ, and Stevens are back.

I'd probably prefer the wing transfer to be a better shooter than Minessale is, but I'll take a chance on a 20 point scorer from the low majors and see what he can do at this level.

Fair enough. I'd definitely take the next Morsell. I'll try to remember to watch a San Diego State game or two before the season's over.

Would be pretty ideal.  Wouldnt be mad about a 2nd big too depending on the money.  Not worried about the roster spots.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

I'm keeping an eye on Miles Byrd from SDSU to join our backcourt

Looks like he's a defensive ace.  Top 150 BPR on Evan Miya at +5.82, with 70% of his value coming on defense (+4.10 DBPR).

3.9% STL rate, 5.7% BLK rate in 2026
4.3% STL rate, 4.9% BLK rate in 2025

Those are elite numbers for a wing.

Offense, as was mentioned he's a role player with below average three point shooting.  Good free throw shooter though (but no matta).

He would be a 5th year senior next year, so he would add some much needed experience without blocking younger players long-term.

Sidenote: Ethan Johnston seems pretty similar to Byrd. As a freshman, Ethan certainly won't be as good as 3rd, 4th, or 5th year Byrd, but perhaps 3 or 4 years down the line he will be.

Sorry, Marquette only has one spot and it's going to be used on getting Zaide Lowery to come back.

[1SE]

Speaking of Zaide - has there been any news at all about where he's going or what he's doing? Can't find anything since he left - isn't that a bit weird?

Well, according to NCAA rules, he can't enter the portal until the day after the national championship game. My guess is that he, or his representatives, are having conversations with other schools, but we are likely to hear nothing.

My guess is that he is still a Marquette student and taking classes remotely.

The portal now doesn't open until after the NC game in April. Probably better to keep options open while teams know he is still available while he finishes his academic year at MU. There is a report on another site that he is in school to finish up.

He'd have to be one hell of a defensive player to make up for that.

Grades out as a top-20 defender nationally per DBPR, so he is one hell of a defensive player. My guess is they would view him as finally replacing O-Max. Lockdown defender that has the length to block shots and the disruptiveness to create turnovers.

On offense, mediocre three point shooter and would be okay from two if he'd stop taking so much midrange.

He'd make us better, but on the whole I would hope he's not the best player we're aiming for.

[GoldenEagles03]

Is it realistic to get Byrd as the Wing, Minessale as the bench playmaker, and a true 5?

If so, that would be great.

Wouldn't scoff at this but I don't think this is enough to have us truly competing again next year, unless that center is damn near the best available.

What does "truly competing" mean?

[We R Final Four]

Not sure what has happened to Oswin from PC as the season has progressed, but he is not the big that I think MUBB will strive yo obtain.

I'd take him in a second (pawz)

[SchnitzelBoy]

We already have LOADS of players at that position and profile. Byrd would be a fine addition, but the athletic wing role is definitely lower on the list of priorities than an all big east-caliber center and secondary ball handler. If they only add 2 pieces, I'd prefer it be those types of players.

He would make a huge impact here.  Providence puts him in the worst spots on offense, I couldnt believe how often they had him standing outside the 3 point line on offense just watching.

He's a great rebounder and rim protector, our biggest needs, and he'd be way more involved on offense here as a screener and roller and lob threat.  Would change how teams guard our pick and roll actions.

Agreed. Looked uninterested and barely involved in that offense last night.
We will see if MU reaches out.

[MU82]

I want us to get the next Shaq and the next Shai. We all want superstars. But my top two realistic transfers in would be a big such as Nova's Brennan and a good all-around guard/wing such as Morsell. Add two pieces like that, and maybe a third depth piece, and bring back Nigel & Co., and I think we're talking about an NCAAT team next season.

I have no idea what Nova paid for Brennan. Was there a bidding war for someone who averaged 10 ppg at Grand Canyon?

If they're  coming from grand canyon you can at least sell them on a diploma that isnt a scam.

Nigel with a legit lob threat would be real fun to watch. He already is consistently looking for Owens on cuts

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 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.

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