Marshall's Men's Basketball program is undergoing significant changes this offseason, including the departure of Coach Dan D'Antoni, the promotion of Assistant Coach Corny Jackson, and the loss of several players to graduation and the transfer portal.

By the Numbers
  • The Herd currently has 7 players under scholarship, with 6 available spots to reach the 13 scholarship limit for Division One Men’s Basketball teams.
  • Key players include seniors Obinna Anochili-Killen and Nate Martin, along with returning players Wyatt Fricks and two incoming freshmen.
State of Play
  • Marshall's roster requires significant rebuilding, especially in the guard and wing positions, to complement the experienced big men.
  • The staff is actively seeking transfers to address the roster gaps and has identified the need for versatile guards, athletic wings, and a reserve big man.
What's Next

The team aims to enhance its roster by targeting experienced guards, athletic and specialist wings, and a versatile big man to strengthen the front court depth. Commitments are expected in the coming weeks as the staff works to fill the remaining roster spots.

Bottom Line
