  "account": "Marquette University basketball is set to welcome Sananda Fru, a 2026-27 transfer, to their roster. The 6'11\", 250 lbs senior from Berlin, Germany, played all 35 games for Louisville last season, starting 29 times and earning four KenPom.com MVP honors. He averaged 9.0 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, leading the team in rebounds and blocks per contest. Fru ranked #39 in Offensive Rating per KenPom.com, and his shooting percentage (.765) is the second-best in the country. Marquette's coach, Pat Kelsey, had high expectations for Fru, who was projected by BartTorvik.com to see even more playing time and improved statistics as a senior, with an estimated 9.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.",
