NOLAN Minessale Coming to MU

[wisblue]

I see this mentioned in the general transfer portal thread, but, for the benefit of headline skimmers, I think it's big enough news to warrant its own thread.

Can't tell if the misspelling is intentional or not.

This appears to be true.  Welcome Nolan.

Two great pickups in the portal. Also terrific to have a Milwaukee guy on the team again. Excited for this add ... think he can see major minutes at the 3 and get spot minutes at the 2 and 1.

It was not intentional. I must've had Minnesota in my head.

Props to whichever poster was naming him many months ago. Felt bleak for a while but now it's exciting to be an MU hoops fan again.

1. I'd like to apologize to Nolan in advance for Willie.  He does not represent the views of any Marquette fan or alumni.

2. I guess Marquette had NIL money.

3. Tempering my enthusiasm since he was not a take at UW-Madison and Gard gets it done.

Second-biggest Minessale commitment of the past week.


So, is it Minn-uh-sale or Minn-uh-sahlay?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Love it.

With Nolan in the fold we have a starting 5 capable of earning a single digit seed. Only question for me is if we have a true 6th man. I think between the 4 returners and 5 incoming frosh at least one player is likely to be at the level next season.

IOW, we're back. Anything more is gravy

Backup PG would be ideal - maybe Tylen Riley will surprise us

[Knight Commission]

Great addition. Reminiscent of Johnny Wolf at Xavier.

I'm not "counting" on Egbuonu, per se, but I'm optimistic he can be at least as effective a freshman as Adrien was this past season.

Should this guy be viewed as the replacement for Chase Ross?

He's like David S Pumpkins--he's his own thing

[MuggsyB]

BAM!!!!!  🔨 dropped!!

And Shaka isn't finished. 

MU IS BACK!!!!

Minessale also had 0.0 interest in being a Weasel/Rodent, which elevates his stock in my book!!

LFG!!!

Welcome to MU!

Thank You was one of them. It will be an even happier occasion to see the Minessale Family at Mass. Feel the Future is bright for Marquette Basketball.

It's not a bad comp

[Elonsmusk]

Great news!  Love that Shaka has landed probably the two guys highest on MU's Portal priority list.  Had litte doubt Shaka would course correct and be effective in the portal with the backing of competitive funding (which I was less confident of).  Thanks again big donors!

I saw somebody post that it's like two words put together
MINES—SALE
Not sure if that is actually true though
