2024 Transfer Portal

[BCHoopster]

Going to make Spencer look like a piker.   May replace Spencer AND Clingan.

Tyler Kolek type player, would have been a perfect replacement, but why improve the team

[tower912]

Shaka says stay out of the portal.

[Viper]

Should I be concerned Viper?

6’8” shooter. 49% from the field is darn good…38% from 3. I’d rather he had not signed with RED, but we are the better team and get em on our court. Gard knows ball but we are due.

Tyler Kolek type player, would have been a perfect replacement, but why improve the team

How’s he a Tyler Kolek-type player?

Marciulionis is more a Kolek player than Mahoney. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

How’s he a Tyler Kolek-type player?

Marciulionis is more a Kolek player than Mahoney.

Duh, he’s white.

[BCHoopster]

Shaka says stay out of the portal.

And I would say, why not, stubbornness is obviously Shaka, it’s a new era, you lost your 2 best players, other then Kam is there somebody who can breakdown the defense, or a physical presence underneath, you have been brainwashed or you like being mediocre watching Jop jack up shots or for that matter Stevie, how you going to score down low?  Hope I am wrong we will see.

[Uncle Rico]

Duh, he’s white.

I suppose Marquette could turn him into a PG, a better defender and better rebounder.  He is only a sophomore

And yes, he’s white, so naturally he’s the next Kolek

Yes. The coach who took over a program with no NCAA Tournament wins in a decade to a top 10 team for the better part of the past 2 years likes being mediocre. He doesn’t know how to build a winning program.

Tyler Kolek type player, would have been a perfect replacement, but why improve the team

Tyler Kolek was worth 7.79 points per 100 possessions over an average college basketball player. He was the best player on the 13th best team. Kolek was the creative hub of Marquette and played point guard.

Aidan Mahaney  is worth 4.18 points per 100 possessions over an average college basketball player. He was the 4th best player on the 24th best team. Mahaney was more of a reciever than a creator. And he played the 2/3 positions.

4.18 points per 100 possessions is worse than EVERY single starter on marquette last year.

But boy... is he white like kolek

Chase
not really Shaka's MO here, but possibly Hamilton[/i]
when have we been mediocre under Shaka?

[JakeBarnes]

You cant possibly be this stupid.

"Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but someone just texted me
Saw AJ Hogaard from MSU in the portal has MU listed as one of his four choices for transfer."

That was marquette mikes quote

It was not pulled from a video of sleepers giving their opinions of potential teams. Got it yet?

Holy hell

You're a child. Try and talk civilly next time.

[tower912]

I believe the way too early pollsters who looked at MU and said top 15.   I enjoyed MU going 56-17 the last two seasons.   I like the retain and develop model.  I think there is a lot of potential on the 24-25 team. 
    I get that you are not optimistic, BC.  Perhaps you are right.  Let it all out.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Oh my!!! UCONN reloading. Of course we are narrowing that gap.

Vertiginous contemplations, Dung Willie

He only gets the easy top 10 rankings

Kicked the tires on Aidoo, didn’t happen. It has to be a player that is a major improvement for the roster and fits the culture for Shaka.

[We R Final Four]

Should I be concerned Viper?

Whether you should or not doesn’t matter…..you will be.

[MU82]

You cant possibly be this stupid.

That’s an unnecessary attack on a good Scooper. You owe Jake an apology.

[PGsHeroes32]

No I dont. He was a smart ass and blatantly wrong and jumped into the conversation(wrongly) for no reason then doubled down.

Also, if we are gonna be dramatic. Lets be semantic as well. It wasnt even an attack it was a vote of confidence that he cannot be that stupid.

What was Tyler as a sophomore?

[JakeBarnes]

If we are talking about drama, youre weirdly playing a victim here which is out of character.    You and I generally seem to be aligned.

 It's a message board. Everything is opinion or wild speculation. I didn't see the "text" part. Just took a quick break from an absolute bear of a work day and had heard the Sleeper episode. Nothing I said was being a smart ass nor doubling down--you were the closest thread to quote about Hoggard, thats it. Youve somehow decided that was a slight or something and decided to act like an ass rather than a human.

I genuinely hope things are OK for you. Because that's  some absolutely bizarre backlash.

[wadesworld]

What was Tyler as a sophomore?

Wouldn’t that be more to the point that maybe Shaka can, indeed, develop great players?

[JakeBarnes]

I was told by willie that we were doomed. So, counterpoint?

[jfp61]

What was Tyler as a sophomore?

He was cleary a point guard.

When Aiden is a top ten player in the country as a senior let me know.

[BCHoopster]

No one can question players improve as they get older, Frank Kaminsky and Butch Lee both became National player of the year, Oso amazing.  Can Tre and Zaide make a difference next year, we will see. Are the 3 freshman good enough to play, lots of question marks.
