Not using the portal at all puts major stress on high school recruiting. Can only have very few misses. The second problem and maybe the bigger one is you are always going to be playing against older teams.  With that said I am not in the complete know as some people. Can Marquette compete financially? Are there resources there to be able to field a top 20 team?

Not sure if this has ever been discussed. Looking forward to the insights.

Good thing this has never been discussed here.

Evidently, the money has been put on the table for Shaka to use.  Shaka has said "No thank you" to the money.

Correct. But hey, great showing last night by the projects Shaka keeps around in lieu of pipedream transfers.

Correct.  Hopefully he changes course this offseason.  The roster needs a lot more talent.

At this point I'm invested in seeing Caedin Hamilton's ceiling and floor as a player.

Donny Marshall thinks he's got tremendous upside! Wishes Caedin carried himself as the best player on the floor more often.

Marquette was voted the #3 Coaching Job in The Big East by other Head and Assistant Coaches.

However, while recruiting base and facilities were a major factor when He did a similar exercise in 2018, He said now it's obviously financial resources (NIL) that are paramount.

Reasonable minds can differ as well as well imbedded moles in the program the last 2 Years
Praising Caedin according to John Rothstein.
Have been to practices where They build up Caedin. He does walk with his head held high and smiling compared to Josh. The Moles have been wrong for 2 years. I love Caedin as a person. If we start winning with Caedin I will be happy and thrilled.  But wish we used the portal for a center.

Aside from the totality of suck on our roster, nothing really made me upset yesterday aside from Caedin Hamilton jogging up the court as Zuby blew past him for a loose ball and fast break dunk. I expected to lose, but for a guy that should be fighting just to keep a roster spot let alone rotation spot to be jogging up the court was just a shame to see.
