Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[Scoop Snoop]

Save your "I'm sorry" crap. You will be hearing from my law firm, Ruggsy, Muggsy, and Guido. I am asking that Guido be assigned to the case. He'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

Miles Byrd officially in the portal. Here we go.

Is there a MU connection with Byrd or is he just on the wishlist?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm confident that he is an MU target.

I'm also confident that he will be target for dozens of other schools too.

Byrd was recruited at Colorado State when CJ Rivers was there.

Hopefully Marquette rented out a SoCal apartment for Rivers from the day we lost to Xavier through April.

Nigel now following him as well.........

Good detective work and love the player. Would be very happy trotting him out for 30 mpg next year.

From what I heard, our analytics team determined he's as strong a fit with Nigel and Adrien as you could get (their words) from potential portal entries and he's very much been high on our list for a few weeks now. But like TAMU and others have noted, long line.

Minessale, Byrd, Evans would be a fantastic portal class IMO.
Still love Somto Cyril as my #1 center option though.

Byrd and Evans were both named DPOY in their respective conferences. I can see the vision..

Same. Nigel, Royce, Adrien, Minessale, maayybbee Phillips can be your main scoring options; Byrd and Evans serve as your low-usage 3-and-D and interior scoring options while more importantly improving our (very much improved in the late season) defense considerably.

[brewcity77]

Pissed off as in, they want to spend more? Apologies, but I'm confused at this post.

Correct

On paper, I love him. Great rim finisher, elite shot blocker, and UCI was #1 in the country in 2PFG% at the rim.

But they play a lot of drop coverage. Can he be switchable and hold up in a system like ours? Will be interesting to see if we pursue.

[BE_GoldenEagle]

I'm under the impression that Villanova is a favorite for Byrd if they want him. Will be up to them if he is a fit, but hard to imagine his game wouldn't be.

His dad played at Nova for 4 seasons under current CBS broadcaster Steve Lappas.

I just discovered that Miles Byrd is left handed.  Keep the tradition alive. #LeftHandU

I've seen Bryd play in person many times. I have no idea if there is actual interest either way, but he would be a terrific pick-up.  Good size, and can fill it up.  And Dutcher demands defense or you don't find the floor for the Aztecs.

Defensive Player of the Year, but statistically not a good shooter. 30.5% 3-pt shooter this season and 30.8% for career. 40.5% overall this season, 39.3% for career. Not saying I wouldn't want him, just don't want anyone getting hopes up that he's a good shooter.

If MU wants to get in the game there NLI money will have to up to 10-12M!

There would be some pissed off donors if that was their spend next year.

Pissed off in that they have already committed more than that.

Ok, so I'm trying to make sense of this.  Lets say MU donors are going to spend 15-20M next year?

Maybe NJ is getting the 2M reported, Parham, and Stevens 1.5M each, and Owens 1M.  We're up to 6M.

2M each for 3 portal players?  We're up to 12M, leaving 3M (?) for the 5 Frosh/RS Frosh + MP, Caedin and Clark (375k each)?

[brewcity77]

You're low on NJ and $2M each probably won't go far. I'm guessing our top portal targets (probably 2) will be in the $3-4M range.

Fair... If true portaling will be more interesting than I'm expecting.

Clark and Caedin 375 each, are you serious?

[rocky_warrior]

I mean sure, if that's what true and rs frosh are getting too.

But really, I'm just saying Duke and Kentucky are reported to be in the $15-20M range this year.  I'm trying to figure out where that dough is going for MU!?

[rocky_warrior]

Am I the crazy one here?  That's more that (reportedly) Toppin, Boozer, and Lendeborg got (individually).  If we've got 3 guys in the $3M range (including NJ), we better be ballin!

After that series of posts you quoted, I tried doing the math as well and struggled to get up to the reported number. Guess I didn't consider that the mercenaries would be the highest paid players, but I guess that is what it will take. Funny that MU will have several players earning as much or more next season than the current MU guys in the NBA.

So are we expecting Nash/Sheek/Ian to make returning/leaving announcements as well or are they just expected back?

The redshirts are still arriving so to speak. In the meantime, wehave not heard from Hamilton or Clark yet.
