At UConn, where he played Isaiah Whaley with Sanogo, it was more three-around-two. In order to do that, he will be looking to remake the roster with more skilled offensive players, including a point guard who can also score, in the transfer portal and the late-signing recruits. “At this level, you can get skill and size,” Hurley said. “The situation we’ve been in, Isaiah and Adama have been two of our best players, and the drop off to our sixth player is pretty significant, and it’s about putting your best players on the court.” If there are no more departures, Hurley expects Corey Floyd Jr. and Alex Karaban, who are freshman who enrolled early and red-shirted, to “fight their way onto the court” next season, and joined by incoming freshman Donavan Clingan from Bristol Central. He expects Sanogo, as a junior, to be a potential All-American, Jordan Hawkins, as a sophomore, to become a centerpiece offensive player and Andre Jackson, who will be a junior, to take another big leap and become a captain and a better offensive player. “I’m excited about Andre’s leadership,” Hurley said.

To be confirmed but it seems like Lewis is staying at Marquette for another year. Don’t know their roster continuity but they could be nasty next year after making the tournament in year 1

Don’t know their roster continuity but they could be nasty next year after making the tournament in year 1 We better make some HUGE moves or we will be just as bad next season. Our opponents haven’t been resting. Still hopeful that we can piece together a decent team for next season. Just give me hope.
