 1) 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.

 2) I think that Shaka is a little too stubborn.

 

1) This issue has been beaten to death. Get over it!

2) Because of 1), I honestly think it is you, not Shaka, who is being stubborn.

I think of Shaka's system as a long-term strategy, interlinking the seasons with the promise of the development of players rather than "fill in some of these areas of weakness" via the portal. I see Shaka's plan as unfolding over the next several seasons. 

We will make the tourney. If our team takes a bit of a step down this season (very possible), it will not shake my faith in Shaka. Not even a little. But to some scoopers it would be a renewed call for going to the portal, a rallying cry for some sort of hybrid system that in reality would be no system at all. Leave hybrids to the auto industry.

Both ESPN and the Athletic updated their Way Too Early Top 25. The differences in their lists are notable. Could be a wide open season.

As of May 2024, Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 145 out of 193 member states of the United Nations.

Which still doesn't make them a state. And if they are a state, every military incursion into the West Bank, is a war of aggression.

And every settler attack (who are using weapons supplied by the Israeli government) with military support/or police support is state sponsored terrorism against another country.

Is that the stance you are taking? That Israel has been partaking in wars of aggression for decades, and conducts state sponsored terrorism.

You can't have it both ways (well technically you can, but it is illogical)? And call Palestine a country when it supports your arguments, and not a country when it runs afoul of your beliefs or arguments.

Looks like the dental school is going to get a bump in admissions.

.@PresLovell announced today that the Mellon Foundation has given Marquette University $1.25 million to extend its program providing educational opportunities to students currently and formerly incarcerated. #BeTheDifference

I am rooting for a return to masks. The less visible my face, the better looking I get.

I don't think you have to match or surpass TK's or Oso's production to have a quality team. As Goose says, experience matters. Kam and Stevie are three year starters. Joplin is a two year starter and was sixth man of the year. Chase has logged nice minutes and definitely made contributions in his first two seasons.

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.
