Kolek planning to go pro
I think this is a very important offseason and next recruiting class for Shaka. The last three years have been building the foundation and it is time to build off of that. I do not think you can count on catching lightning in a bottle, like Shaka did with Omax, TK and Oso, and the level of HS players and/or portal guys need to continue to get better.Part of the beauty of the last three years was having guys we watched grow up and improve at crazy levels. Now, I love Shaka, but I do not believe he has Oso and TK type of improvement magic in his back pocket. The program is now at a fork in the road, and I am anxious to see if it Shaka sticks with his plan.To be honest, the last two years were an unreal feel good story and we sucked every ounce out of it. IMO, we need to up the recruiting and at least dabble in the portal. If not, we will be cheering feel good stories every handful of years, but not hitting the next level. Hell, I am good with whatever Shaka decides, but he put the program in a great spot and hope he builds on it.
oGooseYou were all in on the Shaka/Kolek/OMax/Oso train long before Fluffy (and just about everyone else). And, of course, like you, Rico, Frenns, Muggsy, etc., know that Shaka will prove adaptable because it is what successful people do. Fluffy will remain stubborn. And wrong. Because it’s what people like Fluffy do. It’s in the DNA.
Yeah, I thought we were out on Allen. Would love one of him or Stevens and like you said, either Lewis or James would be a great get.
Muggsy Do not challenge Fluff. He knows all.
Shaka knows there is zero excuse for a rebuild year in this day and age. He’s more than earned the right to do it his way. Whether that’s through player development and retention or through the portal. It doesn’t matter to me how we get from Point A (today) to Point B (next march). I expect we’ll have a competing team we can be proud of one way or the other.
Strategies have to be adaptable based on the turnover of the roster.
Always have to make it personal don’t you. Really insecure I guess.
Says the guy who ALWAYS makes it personal. Not even a scintilla of self awareness. Sad.
😂😂😂 You’re the guy who insisted I was “wrong” on the Bill Self compensation…and then slunk away like without a peep after I posted evidence that I was indeed correct. Even when you’re sure you finally got me…you didn’t. Sad.
What do you mean by catching lightning in a bottle? Do you think that is what Shaka did? He would call it developing his players.
You were right. Your information was more current than mine. It happens sometimes, abeit infrequently. Congratulations. Further congratulations for staying true to form and being an a$$hole about it.
The best part about it was you were so sure of yourself, that you used the simple word “Wrong.”Only to be let down by an easy Google search. That’s rough.
I mean how hard would it have been to look it up? The information was nearly five months old. But I guess in the rush to get Fluffy, corners were cut.
Didn’t you mock me for being a mascot in another thread?
Why would Shaka change his plan? It worked.
