Brew,

Albany, Southern, Little Rock, and Central Michigan are beyond an abomination. I honestly don't care what the NET, Pomeroy, or the computers think.   We have one win, at home, in overtime, vs Valpo, when their best player got injured.  I guess there are a lot of bad teams but there's no way we're top #200.

Historically I'm not sure that pans out for a great freshman team... using 247 here's our historical top 50 guys:

Vander
JJJ
Dawson Garcia
Joey Hauser
Henry Ellanson
Deonte Burton
Markus Howard

Would you take that team to battle? As freshmen not what they developed into

Quote from: brewcity77 on Today at 07:04:20 AMFirst, you were wrong then and are even more wrong now. We've played 5 teams that are sub-200 & gone 5-0 in those games by an average margin of 20.4 ppg.

This, however, is correct. We're probably in the 125-175 area nationally. Good enough to soundly beat teams of lesser talent, good enough to compete but lose against top-50 to 100 teams, and bad enough to get drubbed by anyone better.

But in the Big East, whether we're #150 (feels about right) or #300 (a foolish assertion but let's go with it) that simply isn't good enough to compete in a league of mostly top-100 teams.

While you're being hyperbolic with your ranking takes, what is true is that we're a bottom-2 team in this league and there's no clear evidence we're ahead of DePaul. That is simply unacceptable at a program with Marquette's history & resources.

Fair points Brew.  But have you considered we are far worse right now than when we played these total cupcakes??  And that we essentially lost to Valpo at home?   Your last sentence is 100% indisputably accurate.  We simply can't have this at MU.

Thibs getting the boot and Mike Brown getting the Knicks job has been god send for TK.  I don't want to say Brown has saved his career, but he's certainly ignited it in a way that wouldn't have happened otherwise.  Thibs would never have ran TK and Brunson together.

Knicks twitter absolutely loves him, Brunson and Hart continually gas him up.  It's fun stuff to watch as the Bucks flounder

It would be easier for Marquette to add good players from the portal than it would be to get Top 50 recruits from highschool. Those guys still chase the brands.

Shaka has already admitted that they have had players and agents reach out during the portal window wanting to play for Marquette. They just don't want to get into bidding wars.

This is just for college basketball:

Is it easier to land players from the portal than recruiting top 50 HS recruits? Are the top 50 HS recruits better players than players coming off the portal?

Do the top 50 HS players get better NIL/Revenue sharing deal than portal players?

Should Marquette spend the money on at least one Top 50 HS recruit or a portal player for each class to be competitive?

Not sure what to make of this, but one way or another it has the potential to be highly entertaining.

Bobby Petrino has agreed to become the next North Carolina offensive coordinator under Bill Belichick, sources tell On3's Chris Low, Pete Nakos and Inside Carolina. The move comes after the Tar Heels fired offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens earlier this month after one season.

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 11:23:23 AMThis year's team is bad, but the thought that Derrick Wilson could save us to some degree (e.g., second best player) is a little bit nutzo.

This team just so bad that it is breaking my brain.

Like lets get weird with this...
Derrick Wilson vs Sean Jones
Symir Torrence vs Tre Norman
Steven Taylor vs Caedin Hamilton
Joe Fulce vs Zaide Lowery
Jake Thomas vs Damarius Owens

Would John Dawson help or hurt this roster?
