Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 02:02:02 PMShaka seems to like bringing in kids that are not ready as freshman. Phillips at 17 years old as shown he is not ready to play, sure he can make a 3 once in awhile, but has no creative skill to drive to the hoop.  Hard to believe he has not scored a 2 all year.  So why bring in another kid who is not ready yet either, makes no sense.
 
What I am getting at, my grandson in 7th grade is going to play 50 games this year.  Kids play so much prior to college Shaka should have a feeling if they can help right away.  Enough with projects.  I hope Johnston and Alex can play right away.

No idea how your 7th grader grandson has anything to do with this, but I will say.. when you have 15 scholarships available, I don't have any issue bringing in guys - especially "a year early" to be with the team and improve.

Now, if the hit rate of good/solid players vs. total misses within 2-3 years of their start date is awful, then it's a problem. But, a young shooter with great length (pawz).. I'm OK with that.

Back to your 7th grader and determining if a kid can be good in the future or not... were you sold on Tyler after his second year of college, and his first here? I think he probably played more than 50 games prior to that in his career...

Shaka's probably pissed he got strong-armed by the boosters and can't bring in another project to fill Zaide's spot.

A whole bunch of right-wingers are none too happy with this pointless war as well because--I know this will come as a great surprise--Trump lied about not starting any new wars. But give them time, I'm sure they'll all fall back in line like the little grifter army they are.

But hey, I for one am on pins and needles waiting to hear your take on it.

Quote from: jfp61 on Today at 01:51:53 PMIn the last 4 games....

Marquette has played their 4th worst game of the season againist a bad Xavier team giving up 1.331 PPP.

And then Marquette played their 2nd worst game of the season againist Depaul scoring 0.806 ppp.

This roster needs to be nuked.

So ... not a bubble team?

I searched for both terms, and news only came up for the first one.
