Incoming first-years, transfers bring dynamic skills to men’s basketball team

After the departures of guard Markus Howard, guard/forward Sacar Anim, forward Brendan Bailey and center Jayce Johnson, the Marquette men’s basketball team filled those holes on the roster by adding a plethora of talent this offseason.

The Golden Eagles added two top-100 recruits, 6-foot-11 forward Dawson Garcia and 6-foot-7 forward Justin Lewis. Garcia and Lewis ranked as No. 49 and No. 71 respectively on ESPN’s list of the top-100 recruits in the 2020 class. Marquette also added nationally ranked recruit Oso Ighodaro, a 6-foot-9 forward from Chandler, Arizona.

Sophomore guard D.J. Carton also came to Milwaukee after one season at Ohio State.
