Good conversation, folks.

I like a lot of what both wades and brew say, even though they say somewhat different things. We also don't know everything that's going on. For example, do we know that Shaka wouldn't have taken a very good transfer last offseason had the "fit" and NIL been right? Maybe some do know that; I sure don't.

What I have seen during the recruiting that's going on right now is that at least 2 players we'd like to have at Marquette have come right out and said that Shaka's recruit-develop-retain philosophy is one of the main reasons they are considering MU. So it's a sales pitch as well as a culture.

It's gonna be interesting to see what happens during the next few years, that's for sure.

Guessing this is about Oso?  But if Oso wasn't in this Draft I could see this being a scouting report on Kolek too.  His shot is wildly improved since he arrived at MU, but it's still slow developing so I could see a guard getting the feedback that he needs to develop a quicker release.  And he sometimes got beat up, although he mostly played well through very physical defense.

It’s about Oso. Tyler doesn’t “pass well”, he passes at an elite level. He’s also plenty physical with unquestioned toughness.

I understand where you and others are coming from.  I look at it as with all the pieces we have coming back and coming in, I feel we are taking a step back from the last 2 years.  Where we were a top 10 team the last 2 years, I think we are outside the top 20 right now.  A quality team that has definite weaknesses. 

TK and Oso are huge shoes to fill.  They were big time players that produced in big time moments.  I feel that our lack of desire to go grab a player to fill in at some of these areas of weaknesses is a huge, missed opportunity to keep us in that top 10-15 teams in the country.

We are good team.  This is a very good program.  We will make the tournament unless something happens to Kam.  He is the stud that can't miss a stretch of games.  I think that Shaka is a little too stubborn.  Hope I am wrong.

 

I am a HUGE Shaka believer/supporter and there is nothing I find even a little offensive in this post. In fact, other than the word “too” in the penultimate sentence I think it’s a fair estimate of where we are going into next season. Successful coaches tend to be stubborn - they have a plan that they believe in. Personally I think (as long as we eliminate “too”) it’s a positive quality.

Serious question - xfer portal era started in 2021. If Shaka is still at Texas or a blueblood, does he still take zero transfers? It would be easier to get a xfer to come to those blueblood and high end football schools.

Hard to say, but his last two Texas teams didn't have any significant transfers. He did have Dylan Osetkowski and Elijah Mitrou-Long come in while he was there, and this was before the broad transfer era we see now, but I go back to that first Athletic article where he had the note "first two years, nothing but culture" as his guiding light. I suspect he was trying to get that in place at Texas before he came here and he would be doing the same thing regardless of where he was.
