I tweet about Marquette Basketball. Lost in the fight. #mubb

@hshoops25 HS, do you envision an instant impact or a year of development?

Sheek officially gone. Unless Egbuono is an absolute beast and Shaka mixes and matches with him and Royce as a small ball 5, I'm quite nervous about 8 and 18 being the first bigs off the bench. I'd like to see another vet big added, but I am not sure how feasible that is. #mubb

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@DalyDoseOfHoops Marquette usually has challenging non-con schedules as well.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@trenorman617 @MKEPanthers Congrats to the Norman family! I’ll be checking out UWM games to cheer him on.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@jzambnio I get that these kids are making business decisions now, but you also gotta want to be a Marquette player. I don’t see Shaka as the negotiating type, especially if he wants Royce $ without earning it.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@DidChaseSlamIt @clairemezz I did consider that. There's a rumor a certain A-10 team is paying him more than we ever could. Let's see if he goes back to his hometown...

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

The portal giveth and taketh. What hurts the most is we dedicated a year to developing him. I was convinced he was the big of the future and probably the first one off the bench this year. Best of luck to him. #mubb

Marquette big man Sheek Pearson has entered the transfer portal, source told ESPN. Former top-50 recruit reclassified into the 2025 class and redshirted this past season with the Golden Eagles.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@SamOlbur Dude has wheels. I’m cool with him taking up the last spot on the roster for situations like when he had to motor around the bases the other day.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@clairemezz Ya I agree. I did think he was gonna be more productive due to his top 50 pedigree. The other Shaka red shirts havent quite panned out. I’m excited to see what Ian can show.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@clairemezz Ya. It hurts. But we joined the madness, which we needed to do, and now we can’t be surprised when it happens to us.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@shaka_apologist It’s the game we play now!

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@Mr_bigballs12 how’s the Kyle Evan’s sweepstakes coming along 😅 #mubb

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@jonjonjaquan I am VERY excited he's on the squad. I know that with his length, DO can have a defensive impact because we have seen it, which is why I have him as the starter. NM has length too. I'm just in wait and see mode to see how he fares against P6 competition before naming him starter.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@MubbOldtimer While different players, the likes of Thomas, Chartouny, and Koby Mcewen all had their struggles when moving up in competition. I am in wait and see mode. Great news for the program if he does earn that starting spot.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

My #mubb way too early rotation prediction:
Starters--
NJJ
Stevens
Owens
Royce
Fru

6th man - NM
7th - Sheek
8/9 - Phillips and Egbuono
9th - Ian
10/11 - 8 and 18

RS- Johnston

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@JohnWillkom I still think there could be an adjustment to the speed, size, and athleticism of Big East play. With limited opportunities, his numbers against high majors weren't great. Looking forward to an intense training camp competition bringing out the best in everyone.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@shaka_apologist I’m not ready to label NM the starter. Gotta earn it. Regardless, the options Shaka has are enticing.

[Samuel Vanoer @SamVan57]

@Mr_bigballs12 Our depth at the 5 is…young.
