one thing I’ve learned about Scoop is whenever someone here speaks with such certainty it is a sure sign they have no idea what they’re talking about and are as likely to be wrong as right.

Theo is not wasting any more time (or injuries) in college. He won't be at Marquette, nor on the portal.

In that video of him outside the AL, he pretty clearly said "we'll see how THEY do next season"

He's not coming back.

With Aidoo de-committing and Symir in the transfer portal, I count 4 open spots.

I'd go for a mix of transfers and HS.  Maybe 1 SR and 1 JR in the transfer market.

Can't wait to see who Shaka reels in.

I think it will be more than four spots and all is good. Right now, I would love to see him have 5-7 open spots and build his own team.

I agree that more spots might open up.  We will have to see in the coming weeks.  Shaka will be very busy on the recruiting trail.

Yes. Shaka is building his team and staff...in the year with more access and availability than ever before. The time is now, he doesn’t need much from the old regime to succeed.

DJ posted Rocket Watts on his Instagram Story. But Rocket Watts stats do not look much better than Symir’s stats.

So we are currently at:

Definitely Back
Carton

Hopefully Back
Dawson
Justin

Question Marks
Greg
Dex
Jose
Oso

Incoming?
Kam (sounds like in)
Stevie?

Additional Possible Recruits
David Joplin
Tamar Bates

Needs still seem to be a shooter and a center.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Agreed. Doesn't fit the shooter profile we need, but amazing potential once he fills out given his athleticism. Ellis definitely should get a call from Shaka to test the waters.

Tamar reminds me of JJJ but with a sound jumper. I think that's why I am so intrigued by him.

I like what little bit I saw on video. Great length and athleticism at 6-5.

I would expect to see more departures before we see new additions.

Given taht he is trying to recruit players to Marquette and said "let's get to work" with Shaka, I would think that is a logical conclusion. Do you have info to the contrary?

I think he was more celebrating the news that DJ was returning than questioning whether it was true.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

He's also trying to keep the current guys here.

Love it. I really do hope that we see a large chunk stick around--rather, those that buy into Shaka's system stick around. Dawson and Justin are big keys in that for me. I think Dex, Oso and Greg could do pretty well in Shaka's system too. No idea if Jose would or whether he is even with the team still given the BEast tourney thing.

After that, it's figuring out what players fill the gaps from there. If I had a wish list, the next 6-7 schollies are filled by:

Kam (Still a bit of a project, but lots of athleticism)
Stevie (if he doesn't stay committed, we need another PG in this list).
Tamar Bates (Former UT Commit; good jumper and amazing talent)
Tre Mitchell (mobile center with a jumper)
David Joplin (local PF, nice midrange game)
Noah Locke (sharpshooter)
Emarion Ellis (athletic freak, needs to make jumper more consistent)

I am going to predict that roster is going to have some surprises next season. With the depth of free agents out there, I believe that Shaka may bring in some sleepers. As we sit today, I have zero idea of how many new guys we will have on the court next season. That said, I am confident that it will be an upgrade.

Remember the pearl clutchers who opined that firing Wojo because it would mean a long and painful rebuild?

Turned out it was the only way to avoid one.

I would have thought that if they hired Moser and been fine with it if it ended in good results.  Shaka will be able to rebuild on the fly.  It’s possible a mid-major guy could have, too, but this is the best scenario
