Kolek planning to go pro
TowerI would be surprised if the there were a lot of players still here in 2-3 years. I do agree on building the culture and that is the key to long term success. My gut tells me that we will have a big number of newcomers again next season, especially transfers that fit the culture. To be honest, I am counting on big turnover and a higher level if talent. That said, I do believe that all of the young guys have upside.My only negative thus far would be that our two best players are playing to showcase with the hopes of playing at the next level. The good news on that, it appears they both look like they are team guys and want to win.
Could well be. Though, he likely does need to get stronger.
Davis won’t turn pro. He loves college and wants to get his Agricultural Journalism degree so he can host a sports talk radio show
What, exactly, is the "culture" that Shaka's trying to bring?Fast paced with guys that aren't good shooters jacking up the first 3 they see?A passive press that doesn't achieve much other than maybe tiring out our own guys and gives up wide open shots or dunks for the opponent? They gave up a gigantic amount of points to the freaking slow-down Badgers. You have to adjust your preferred style of play if the players just aren't talented enough to thrive at it.I do agree that the best case scenario is that this year's kind of rag-tag group is just a stop-gap and guys that can actually shoot will be brought in next year.
Almost ever college player needs to get stronger. That doesn’t stop many first-round draft picks from declaring for the draft.What’s not to love?
I'm looking forward to you mobilizing the big-money donors so you can get Shaka fired and bring in Coach K.
Shaka's at MU for as long as he chooses. Lifetime tenure if he wants it.
Shaka Smart is very smart coach. He clearly knew, and now knows, that the defense they played resulted a team shooting 70% in the 2nd half. The reality is that MU will lose a lot of games because of that defensive philosophy. The trade-off is that, over time, the defense (and talent) will improve, and it will result in victories. It's a process, and it requires patience. I have to remind myself of that, too.
It isn't Shaka, per se. He was unhappy with Wojo, too. He is just unhappy.
Oh no, he has made it clear it is about Shaka and his social stances. His bitching has nothing to do with basketball. He'd be even more unhappy if Shaka and MU were 9-0 at this point.
And so, since Shaka was outspoken in support of BLM
