Author Topic: Let's talk about the roster/recruits w/Shaka (Read 66555 times)

There is absolutely no reason that guys on MU's current roster cannot be retained by Shaka, unless they are told to look elsewhere. Shaka's rep as an oustanding coach and recruiter should be appealing to all. Exception would be seniors that are due to graduate and want to move on. And hopefully, Shaka can bring one or two from Tx. with him.

Osasere Ighodaro? The third part of the big recruiting class we brought in? From California? Played two games this year, is rail thin? Any of this ringing a bell?

It's Oso. That's the point that they are trying to make

I think he’s from AZ but no biggie. Pretty sure he chose MU over Texas and Stanford so my guess is he stays.

Thought that scoopers made up that nickname? If it's actually his nickname then my bad.

It's the appropriate truncation of his name per Oso himself.

At least you aren't going O'tule on his name

Oh, so you mean OSO Ighodaro...

JakeBarnes · « **Reply #157 on:** March 27, 2021, 08:45:13 AM »

Probably too soon to be theorizing or asking, but have we seen anything from the Mitchell or Aidoo camps yet?

Heck, have we seen anything from the Joplin or Tamar Bates camps related to their LOIs?

Thanks for the correction I 100% thought a thread came up here where people just decided to call him that.

I know Mitchell publicly stated he was going to wait to see who MU hired before making a decision but I don't think there's word beyond that.

They may have, but I usually miss those sorts of things. I'm still here trying to make fetch happen most of the time.

That said, just cool that it's Oso and we can nickname him "the bear" or signal a bear claw when he makes a big dunk. Oso=bear in Spanish for those not following my logic.

Hopefully Mitchell is still all-in. Ive been so impressed with how well he operates as a floor general in games and highlights Ive seen. And he can score on top of it. Perfect compliment to Carton and could move him off ball to the 2 when Mitchell is in

A Carton-Mitchell backcourt would be a great start. Hoping against hope for both, relatively happy with either, realistic but still a little disappointed if neither.

I'm sure there are a lot of the existing players that are interested in playing with Shaka... Think it's important to see how it all shakes out - guys that would stay may be unsatisfied with their roles after the roster setttles and look elsewhere

Trust the Process

Who's Osa?

Who’s High Pitch?

Lots of those too. But I think Carton in a better system and Stevie Mitchell as the backup (assuming we can hold onto him staying committed) will solve a a lot there.

I know that these kids commit to a coach more than a program, but MU is a much better program now than when these kids committed. And Wojo isn’t coaching anywhere right now. Go get them Shaka!

I feel for Coach Smart right now because in order to figure out which players he wants for his system, he'll have to watch all the game film from this season.

Enjoy the Georgetown games, coach!

Yeah maybe the reason he was hired was because he was the only candidate who was left in the room after watching one MU game from this past year

Thank God I read that after I swallowed my coffee.
