Nolan Minessale, a 6-foot-5 guard and former standout at Milwaukee Marquette High School, is transferring to Marquette University from St. Thomas University, where he had an impressive season. Minessale averaged 19.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists, showcasing his potential to attract NBA scouts. His performance at St. Thomas, which recently transitioned to NCAA Division I, included a strong shooting percentage of 65.2% at the rim. Despite a lower three-point shooting percentage of 30%, Minessale's ability to shoot well under pressure (35.4% on guarded jump shots) suggests he could adapt well to the higher competition level in the Big East. He joins another transfer, Sananda Fru from Louisville, as Marquette aims to strengthen its roster. With one scholarship slot left for the 2026-27 season, Minessale's addition is seen as a key move for the Golden Eagles.
