"we didn't start this war...but we're going to finish it"

 

Sorry to hear about your mobility issues.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on Today at 02:15:42 PMFor that to happen it would mean five first year players are better than them, plus Josh Clark. I don't think that's very realistic or a sound strategy. And if that's possible, why keep them at all? I'd rather 14th and 15th be for redshirts and frosh.

Redshirt Tre and you both get what you want! Maybe as a 23yr old he'll be serviceable for 10mpg.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 02:04:43 PMWhat if Tre and Caedin are the 14th and 15th men and never play, and if, after adding 2-3 good portal players, we have 8-9 solid to very good players for the rotation?

Why would we want the athletic department to spend its limited resources on 14th and 15th men who never play? I'd prefer they boosted the payroll for guys who do play, or may play an important role in the future.
Upperclassmen who don't play = waste of resources.

2 more spots need to open from the Sean, Tre, Hamilton, and Clark group.  It doesn't really matter which 2.  If more than 2 open up from that group, great. 

Quote from: Stretchdeltsig on Today at 01:54:45 PMWell said. Agree with your sentiment. As an alum and lifelong Marquette basketball supporter, I am shocked at poorly this team plays. They cannot make free throws; cannot block out and grab rebounds; cannot shoot and rarely followup to get offensive rebounds; cannot set effective screens for shooters; are awful running out of bounds plays. The coaching seems awful. A complete turnover of coaches seems necessary to get coaches who can teach the basic skills - free throws, rebounding, shooting, screening, out of bound plays, how to win instead of struggle.  What has happened to Shaka? Has he lost it? He is failing this year.

So the staff responsible for two #2 seeds no longer knows how to develop and coach 2 seasons later?

Seems to me this is a talent/recruiting issue more than anything, which is also the responsibility of the staff. 

No issue if some new blood is added to the staff but I'm pretty sure Shaka and company didn't completely "lose it" so quickly.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on Today at 01:15:39 PMThis is why Tre and Caedin need to be politely told it's time to go. Simply replacing Chase and Ben doesn't solve the above issue.

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 12:52:14 PMYou have some really good points, but suggesting that a coach's employees should be fired for HIS failures was not, to put it very mildly, one of them.

That was one of the reason's among others that the previous AD Bill Schooll fired Wojo.  Wojo did not want to make changes. Obviously Shaka is not going to be fired this year, but he should be reviewing his staff very closely.
