Yes,  I guess more specifically I mean people outside the program, coaches or media.  They have a much better feel for this team going into next year. 

Still lots of questions on how much progress will be made and the off season leaps players will make.  But the floor for this team is high and no one will be picking us 9th. 

I think there is a question about the teamsceiling and we will see varying degrees of predictions for how good they can be.  I’m in the optimistic group with Kam back.  Worst case this is a top 25 team.  Gold and Ross take an Oso like leap and they could be top ten.

Listening to 97.3 now, love hearing Mike heller complain and bitch how the badgers “don’t have enough NIL money” 😂😂😂

Apparently too many UW-Madison grads are still working at their minimum wage careers.   ;D

He also likes to publically talk down his players, can only imagine what he says privately

I was lucky enough to sit by their bench when we played them in Milwaukee. The contrast between his demeanor and Shaka's is night and day. I don't see him having much success there.

Feels a little like the Packers. Keep quiet during free agency and let other teams win the offseason.

Agreed, the national media will be more aware this time around.

Actually, Marquette was picked to finish 9th by Big East coaches.

This is the thing. Few teams have a rotation that goes more than 7-8 deep. And the ones that do maybe go to 9-10. No one is desperate to find minutes for the 14th man. If a team is telling you to pay your own way, it probably means the same thing it does for the walk-ons; you aren't good enough to get consistent minutes here.

Exactly.  And if you aren't good enough for minutes, you probably aren't getting $750K in your pockets, less room, board, and tuition.

Marquette fans, 2005-2023: "God, the effing Badgers always have some guy come out of nowhere and they end up being good every year. Why can't we have that?"

Some Marquette fans, 2022-present: "Sure some guys have developed and won a league title and got to a Sweet 16, but retaining and developing guys won't work. Gotta clear some room and hit the portal."

Interesting dichotomy, isn't it?  I do enjoy the quiet summers and I am fully preparing that we do not get a xfer this year. I also think back to the game at Creighton where we had basically 6 players who could play and Tre was puking on the sidelines and Chase was also playing sick. That was a preview of this coming season and we had it close with 3 min to go. Add in the 3 new players (Caedin, Owens, Rolls Royce) and I think we can be a top 20 team as a floor. I trust in Shaka.
