Well, we have the first big news of the season.
Unfortunately.
On Wednesday, Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski announced that freshman Ike Eke will redshirt this season, according to this tweet from new Journal Sentinel MU beat writer Ben Steele:
It should be noted that since Eke isn’t ineligible, he’ll be allowed to travel with the team. Which is nice, because I’ve heard Maui is lovely this time of year.
This isn’t entirely surprising. Eke only played 4 minutes against UW-Milwaukee in the charity scrimmage, and he didn’t see the floor at all against Lindenwood on Saturday.
