Transfers in/out 2025-2026

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

The answer to your question came in the sentence after the one you highlighted.

Lol..

I just don't want to go 17-15 next year watching Damarius playing 25 minutes per game.

There are better ways to do this.

Scrapping the backhalf of this to ensure you get 3 guys who can play at this level is significantly smarter than what this staff will end up doing.

Clueless. You have no idea what is going on. Why not wait before you judge.

I'm also clueless, have no idea, and waiting.

Care to fill those of us in rather than insulting?

Any SparkNotes version for us who don't have MJS?

Nothing new really. Ben Steele lists MU's needs as a big (#1)and a guard (#2).

Also looks like they might be looking for improved 3-pt shooting with Phillips, Walker, and Owens.

Does this mean we should only expect one more departure?

Doubt it.

No

No

Thanks. Good to know. 

[Rimrocker]

More specifically, the article stated we need 2 things.
1. A 5
2. Back court depth in a scorer to replace chase and a ball handler.

[MU82]

Mara probably would like to go to Marquette, given it's also in Michigan.

[Zog from Margo]

Get Byrd and Gwath from SDSU.

Be patient. Good things are happening.

Is this thread we want to use for players MU might be interested in or should we start a separate thread for portal targets?

Anyway.......i have no idea what our interest level is but Cody is following this guy on X

I don't have an answer to your question, but this does bring up one of my own.

Given that we can probably expect 2-3 transfer additions this off-season, is the general consensus that Shaka will likely fill all those spots with upperclassmen? Or is there a thought that we may see another sophomore added alongside Nigel & Adrien?

[swoopem]

If Tre and Caedin transfer (god willing) then that means that entire class won't finish at MU. I'd think he'd want at least 2 maybe 3 one year guys who'll be seniors and then graduate (or leave) so that way we can fill their scholarships right away. If he brings in all younger guys then we won't have a recruiting class in two years

I have no info on this but considering the current roster construction I'd image one-year transfers will be prioritized, especially at the 5. 

I could see a junior being brought in (Minessale, for example) but I'd be shocked if any underclassmen are added, barring any unforeseen departures).

[JTJ3]

I expect them all to be experienced guys.  Could be juniors or seniors, wouldnt make sense to limit the pool to one or the other.  I expect some of both, 3-4 adds total.

Elite shooter and offensive player.  Negative D-BPR, so a weak defender.  Seems like the polar opposite of Miles Byrd.

[JTJ3]

I would like either of Belmonts 2 bigs more for us.  Scharnowski is a really solid, skilled 5 who can move on defense.  Orme is a 6'9 stretch 4 who can really shoot.  Either would help.

[Zog from Margo]

I'm guessing MU wants to sign players in the 2027 class. So assuming Jones and Norman transfer, I'd expect MU to focus on seniors to be for at least a couple spots. MU is thin along the frontline, so it might make sense to get a 4/5 who'd complement Parham and Pearson who could be around at least a couple years.

Would love to add a guy like Orme. Two years of eligibility, stats jump off the page, athletic, good size, solid defender, good shooter. The exact profile I'd like to see brought in.

re: Lundblade - Don't see Shaka bringing in a transfer that clueless on the defensive end, but we do need shooting so who knows.
