We want a shower not a grower #pawz

You know Ners is sideways about all this Shaka criticism. #shakaslurper

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 06:56:43 PMI'm all in favor of giving Shaka a Mulligan this year, but that was piss poor communications to the public. I really hope he comes back later with a more reasonable response and we chalk it up to being pissed off from the game.

I couldn't agree more.  This  isn't what fans want to hear right now.  We're not watching our kids play T-Ball. 

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 06:55:36 PMI'll happily bet you we win more than 4 conference games this year. Let me know - here's the bet --- $400, if they get to 4 wins or less, you win... if they get 5 win or more, I win. Simple. Let me know.

I don't know that I want to make a bet where I am actually put in a position to root for my favorite team to lose. Let me tell think about it.

If you follow what he says after each of these games, THIS is the message. This is it, every time.

Says something about talent assessment when MU is playing this poorly and two freshmen will soon be, if they are not already, 2 of the top 3 players on the team.

I doubt Shaka gets the shown the door at the end of this season, but he'd be wise to shake up his staff. The talent assessment has been poor and the player fit with how MU wants to play is similarly poor. I think Shaka's way of team building can work but you can't miss on as many players as MU has. He'll have to hit the portal to turn the team around next season. With the exception of Ross, the only potential high level BE players on the roster are freshmen.

I think we'd have a couple more wins if he played better.  OU being one. Just two or three of his many 3 misses find the net we win that game.

You're such a pompous ass sometimes.

What are the many ways he's been great? Genuinely curious. Maybe I've missed something. He improved his rebounding numbers.

Overall his trajectory has been disappointing. He's a serviceable bench big man at best for a potential contender. The bigger issue is the sorry state of the other guys up front.

This is the poorest performing MU team I can remember in a long long time. Somebody better be held accountable. There was posting here that Shaka makes $5 million per year. That seems high, but the results are unacceptable.
