In the 2025-26 season, Josh Clark, a 7'1” forward from Virginia Beach, Virginia, struggled to make a significant impact for the Marquette Golden Eagles. Averaging only 1.3 points and 1.9 rebounds over 23 games, his playing time was limited to just 126 minutes, with only 63 minutes played after the start of Big East competition. Despite this, he had a standout game against #4 Connecticut, where he scored 6 points and secured 6 rebounds in 13 minutes. However, his overall performance fell short of expectations, leading to concerns about his readiness to contribute in a more significant role. While his rebounding statistics indicate potential—ranking #20 nationally in defensive rebounding if he had played more—his limited minutes and impact on the court raised questions about his future with the team. Overall, Clark's season can be seen as a learning experience, with a grade of 5 reflecting reasonable expectations met but not exceeded.
