We're great at that. Look at this season!

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 12:16:56 PMI want us to get the next Shaq and the next Shai. We all want superstars. But my top two realistic transfers in would be a big such as Nova's Brennan and a good all-around guard/wing such as Morsell. Add two pieces like that, and maybe a third depth piece, and bring back Nigel & Co., and I think we're talking about an NCAAT team next season.

I have no idea what Nova paid for Brennan. Was there a bidding war for someone who averaged 10 ppg at Grand Canyon?

A big part of being successful in the transfer market is identifying players who could thrive in your system beyond what they're doing at their current workplace. And, on the flip side, identifying those who may not replicate here what the success they've had elsewhere.

Anyhow, I remain very interested in Armani Mighty out of Mercer. In three games against P5 opponents (Tennessee, Clemson and UCF), he's averaged 12.3 ppg and 7 rpg while shooting 65% from the floor.

Quote from: JTJ3 on Today at 09:23:37 AMHe would make a huge impact here.  Providence puts him in the worst spots on offense, I couldnt believe how often they had him standing outside the 3 point line on offense just watching.

He's a great rebounder and rim protector, our biggest needs, and he'd be way more involved on offense here as a screener and roller and lob threat.  Would change how teams guard our pick and roll actions.

Nigel with a legit lob threat would be real fun to watch. He already is consistently looking for Owens on cuts

She is also from Canada - they met at an event during the off-season.

this would be interesting. It's not like he needs the money:

Whenever he's been interviewed, Nigel has poured out his soul about how much he loves playing for Shaka and loves being at Marquette. One need not read between the lines; one need only read (and hear) the lines themselves. Nigel's not going anywhere.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 12:10:07 PMYup. I donated to student media, and my gift (and those of hundreds of others) was matched by a generous alum.

I donate annually to the DACA scholarship fund in honor of a DACA student I worked with and have remained friends with. That is a group with real need, and I know the aid is going to a great use.

If they're  coming from grand canyon you can at least sell them on a diploma that isnt a scam.

"Thank you for ruining the season."

I just hope JD is sending a hearty "thank you" to Ukraine this morning.
