Big East Roster Tracker

Having trouble keeping track of who’s graduated, who’s taking a COVID year, and who’s going pro within Marquette’s Big East brethern…not to mention staying up to date on transfer madness? Paint Touches has you covered. We’ll be tracking the comings and goings of every team in the Holyland of Hoops with updates every few days.

Note: Provided they signed with a NCAA-certified agent (or didn’t sign with an agent at all), all players who have declared for the NBA draft can technically return to school provided they withdraw their names by 11:59pm EDT on June 1st. This tracker will assume they are gone until they announce otherwise.
