LOL. Of course he didn’t do it so we could survive. He did it for himself, to get away from a guy who couldn’t coach effectively at this level
Given that he (and his brother) would have stayed at Marquette had Markus gone pro, Sam left to get away from his former roommate and close friend. Turned out, Sam didn’t really get any more shots at Virginia, nor did he experience any more success. And had Covid not ended the 2019-20 season early, the teammates and coach Sam left behind at Marquette would have made the NCAA tourney without him. So not sure how Sam had much to do with Wojo getting the boot 2 years later. The guys we really should be thanking for Shaka being at Marquette now were the wonderful basketball studs of Abilene Christian. If Texas beats that team, Shaka is probably still there. Not that any of this matters today, of course. Ultimately … Glad Wojo got canned. Glad our alma mater got Shaka. And, yes, glad Sam has taken advantage of a good situation with the Celtics.

Sam stays. No Big East regular season title.
I mean that's debatable, do Markus, Sam and crew get one standing position better with age minus Joey? I'd say probably. What's not debatable is that we certainly don't get a tournament run with them their senior year either way. Also very likely still a gigantic step down despite a phenomenal class in 2021. then we likely can't get rid of the guy who just went 2nd in BE and followed it with 1st. All that said it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt seeing him not be an MU guy.

Kinda crazy that the House of Representatives - in a total bipartisan vote - just made it illegal to speak poorly of a foreign government.
Nothing could be done about all the Klan, neo-Nazi and white supremacist rallies over the decades because of First Amendment protections … but now, all of sudden, this?

Those who attend roQQet’s victimhood workshop learn that white folks haven’t been able to catch a break in America for hundreds of years now. Black people even got to benefit from all the skills they learned as slaves!

Other contenders are Deonte and McKay, Maymon probably Mbakwe
Two of these guys were addition by subtraction. Not going to get into it, but the losses of these two still make me laugh. When I heard one of them was being recruited, I said to a friend "WTF". .The other one shouldn't have been recruited either. The other two I don't know enough about, so can't comment.

The savior. A martyr. Only thing above Jesus Christ to this Jesuit school. Sacrificed so we could survive.
LOL. Of course he didn’t do it so we could survive. He did it for himself, to get away from a guy who couldn’t coach effectively at this level (in spite of some thinking he would deliver Duke North). The unintended consequence was Shaka and (finally) a first class program. Lucky us. Thank you Sam.

Boy. Saying Buzz inherited “starters” David Cubillan and Mo Acker in year 2 from Tom Crean is really a stretch. In their first year with Buzz they averaged 2.8 and 1.6 points per game, 1.4 and .5 rebounds per game and 1.8 and .2 assists per game. Yes, they started for Buzz in his second year, but the guys Buzz got from Crean were end of the bench guys, not starters.
Tell you what...before we go further, I'm going to give you a chance to just retract and concede that this is a terrible point and your attempt to dispute my post is wholly without any merit.

Sam stays, no Shaka. No Big East regular season title. No Big East tournament championship. No back to back #2 seeds. No bright future. Instead, a team/program stuck in mediocrity.
His jersey should be hanging in the rafters. His transfer was that essential to our resurrection.

It’s Sam, though his departure hastened the end of the Wojo era. Odartey is probably a close second

Huh.
A group of pro-Israel counterprotestors repeatedly attacked pro-Palestine demonstrators at UCLA as police stood by, a New York Times investigation has found.
Separate reporting from The Daily Beast indicates the counterprotestors were partly funded by outside agitators.

Boy, it would seem student safety and Jewish safety (as there are Jewish students in the pro-Palestine protest) are not at important and claimed by politicians, school administrators and the media
