Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[CountryRoads]

Parsing through postgame pressers:
- Stevens and Parham both said they're back next season, ready to lead
- Shaka mentioned his excitement for Owens and Phillips specifically
- Shaka explicitly stated he thought more about roster construction mid-season than ever before and how badly we need depth next season...that didn't strike me as him having any faith in our current "depth" - IOW, see ya Tre, Sean, Caedin/Josh

Switch the backslash with an ampersand?

Cool story - they're tight. They won't split up.

I remember when Badger fans thought they were getting the Hauser brothers because they wouldn't split up.

In a perfect world!! If Shaka sends both out the door I'd be thrilled, but I would think he keeps one sadly.

Good point - all relationship are the same

Owens's defense at the end of the season was great. His length is a huge asset. If he can tighten his dribble and form into a 3-and-D wing I love having him on this team.

100%. DO only started getting minutes when his defense improved significantly. I don't know what the advanced stats say, but my impression was that be the end of the year he was pretty solid.

I'm almost certain Paint Touches did an article on how he went from like nation-worst to a top 100 defender basically overnight.

Yup. Similar to Nigel's announcement, none of this should surprise those who have been paying attention the last few weeks.

I know it's not allowed on a day like today, but I'm gonna be optimistic about our program going forward.

Or maybe his defense improved because he was getting more consistent game minutes. Because players can get better when they play, not just when they practice.

Right there with you, 82

I'd say doubtful, only because you practice many more minutes than you play in games, but we'll likely never know.

However, once Zaide left it might have simply been Hobson's Choice, given Tre was the other option.

Morsell, Kuath, Kolek, and OMax.

The last transfer we took in, Zach Wrightsil was conviently left out.

Along with every single recruit they missed on, that flood our current roster.

Marquette would have been a better team in year one if they benched Kuath for Oso at the end of the year.
