Thia. OmahaGuy does a great jobs with these, but he forgot about Bailey here (which makes sense since he is listed in the 2016 class). He’s 6’8, supposedly has a great shot, and will be 20ish. Marquette gets so much bigger next year with Morrow, Hauser, and Ike ... all 6’8 or above. I can’t imagine a scenario where Marquette does not get an immediately eligible PG transfer - we will be so attractive for any grad transfer out there with our size and shooting (even our non Hauser—Rowsey-Howard guards made threes at a good rate). We have the playing time and scoring support to make a pass first, defensive-proficient PG look at us hard.
Rumors that Froling may leave, which I hope is not true. I think he can still turn into something and he is by far the best rebounding big from this season (Morrow will be our best next year). One of the biggest reasons I identified for why I believe Marquette underachieved was that we ended up having Heldt play 20+ minutes a game instead of the 8-12 I was hoping for when Froling became eligible. He is a great big to have on the bench to spell minutes, but if you have to rely on him to be your primary center, that’s a big limitation.
