Musetti wins the 1st set vs the Djoker.  I

Quote from: We R Final Four on Today at 08:54:20 AMDo you really believe that Shaka will bring in "3 good portal players " next year?

2-3

I'd be surprised if it's less than 2.

Why? Simply because Zaide has left and I'd be very surprised if Marquette didn't have 2 of the following 3 transfer out
Sean Jones, Tre Norman, Caedin Hamilton.

Not trying to chase anyone out, but that's 3 open schollies if 2 transfer. That doesn't mention a possible surprise exit like Josh feeling like he's ready for big time minutes at a smaller program, trying to work his way back to a future NIL at a P5 program as an example

No inside info all just speculative.
I just can't see a world where less than 2-3 spots are open to fill.

As for the portal... I think Shaka is MORE active if this season ends well because he will want to complement what he has
I think he goes with a defensive oriented/experienced 5 and a stud/star scorer. I'd wager a 2/3 or pure shooting/combo guard for the second if he can't get an elite wing.

That would leave Nigel/Adrien/Royce/DO and a few able bodied difference maker portalers to go along with the young guys and frosh. I like where that could go

Quote from: Johnny B on Today at 11:00:52 PMI'll say sheek is an instant upgrade down low.. not sure if Shaka should use that last scholly on a big or another 2 guard.

We'll have room to add both.  Which is good, if you can add a legit guard and big to the returning group we will rebound in a big way next year.

At the risk of getting the thread locked, I'm sticking with my super leftist position of "nazis are bad".

Should have never gotten to 15.  I'm from the step on their throats school of thinking. 

Fck mammals including whales and manatees if they don't help us in the portal

Must be the dude from the portal

Thought Johnston was a good candidate to redshirt but it looks like he's hitting the weights already.  Much bigger than he was this past summer in AAU.  If he can guard on the wing, there's minutes for him day 1.

I see some chase. Long, strong wing that moves with a steady pace.

Would be great if he has a chase-like career arc imo

Turns out the other team who was favored can have some decent stretches of basketball too.

I don't know, MU lost the 2nd half

Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 11:03:21 PMNo we're not. We built a huge cushion. And won by 24. JFC, guys.
