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.

Really moving the goalposts. Predictable.

I will know Shaka has changed when he has "cut bait" with the "non-contributors" who are not Big East level players....Let alone "maybe" not even Division 1 players.....

[SaveOD238]

Tre isn't staying to be the 12 man as a senior.

There's more money in riding the pine for Marquette than in starting for a low major.  So unless he really feels he can show out in a more featured role, he should take his bag by staying.

Not the worst use of a roster spot now that there are 15

Why would Marquette use any money, you're suggesting significant amounts, to pay a senior to ride pine?

I just watched the presser. I agree with your comments but where did you see Stevens say he'll be back? The presser was only Shaka and Royce

[Wade-A-Minute]

I'm really hoping Scoop's Perpetually Pissed off Posters enter the portal and find a new team.

Is this true

To bad Ben got pushed off the block instead. Shocked me that Ben would be a push over in the finals seconds of his career. 

Does Ben gold suck? A little bit. But it's the kind of suck that we want him to do better because we know he probably can.

It was a fairly mediocre career between injuries and lack of improvement.

Still will be a task to fill his role this off season as no one on the current roster can step in and match his production.

Distrust, but verify.

I think people are going to discover that landing players better than the senior versions of Ross and Gold is going to be a lot harder than people think.

The competition is going to be fierce when you consider all of the teams that have to replace the transfers they brought in this year and players going pro that will be moving on. Think about Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, UConn, and several other Big East teams as examples.

If MU challenges for an NCAA bid next year it's going to come from improvement from the underclass players, contributions from the redshirts and freshmen, and hopefully one or two veteran transfers to fill some obvious holes.

Correct, but very unpopular take around here.

I said "what makes you think they will go 3/3" with their transfers.

And you omitted the last transfer they took in.

Harder in what way? Not having the resources to compete or unwilling to spend the resources we have.
