Philipe Ndong Joins Marquette 2027 | College Basketball News

Philipe Ndong, a fast-rising 6’8 forward from Massachusetts, just committed to Marquette for the 2027 class — joining guard Marlon Martinez as the second signee. The Newman School standout, who averaged 13.3 points last season and shot over 38% from three, is ranked 97th nationally for his class. With a strong basketball IQ, solid shooting touch, and a father who played in the NBA and now coaches Senegal, Ndong brings elite pedigree and long-term potential to Shaka Smart’s roster. Though he’ll need to bulk up for Big East competition, his game already echoes that of former Marquette star Oso Ighodaro — and Marquette’s coaching staff sees him as a key piece for the future.
