Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 11:54:30 AMBut I don't think it's impossible.

For sure DO might have gotten an offer from Cuse.  He might even go.  But I doubt an offer was made without his knowledge, or that he just told someone at Marquette to take the call and say no thanks.

I have a general observation.  Is it a stretch to think these back channels aren't being tested?  We all know there have been violations in college sports for decades, some say John Wooden pushed the envelope all the time and even engaged in NCAA violation-level tactics.  School have been placed on probation, coaches and players have been censured, etc. etc.  For Syracuse to reach out to MU to inquire about a player doesn't seem like an impossibility to me.  Just because we have new rules with NIL and the transfer portal, who's to say they're not being violated?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Thanks

I've disagreed with onepost a fair amount this year, but he typically has had some good information.

I'm not going to pretend I understand the intricacies of the transfer portal and if this might happen. But I don't think it's impossible.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 10:33:58 AMYou're are missing the whole point of the discussion. I and others are discrediting a ridiculous story devoid of logic and support. I was simply cutting to the chase to summarize the transfer situation.

Basically I was saying if Syracuse had targeted him as an attractive transfer they could have a compelling package put together to present him the second he hits the portal.

Even in some bizzarro world they did reach out to Shaka, and in a cocaine fog Shaka said he was cutting him loose, what would Syracuse gain?

If Syacuse knew he was going to transfer but has not announced or entered the portal, they'd end up working through back channels anyways.


No, I understand the overall point. I just thought that one piece of your response was ludicrous.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:44:47 AMWhy were hundreds of violent, 1/6/21, adjudicated felons pardoned and sent back into society, where dozens of them have committed new crimes - including one "patriot" who threatened to assassinate the House Minority Leader?

If you knew how to find factual news sources, you would understand they were merely tourists that got a little out of control!

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on February 21, 2026, 08:46:41 PMThat's pretty disingenuous. You know why they wear the masks; people were doxxing them and their families and threatening them.

Why don't police officers, FBI agents, Secret Service agents, etc, wear masks?

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on February 21, 2026, 08:46:41 PMSome of us a comfortable with criminals who are here illegally being sent out of the country. 

Why are most of those being deported non-criminals?

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on February 21, 2026, 08:46:41 PMEnough Americans have suffered from theses people who have been adjudicated

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 11:33:15 AMMy wife and I will be going. Haven't bought the tickets yet. We better hurry before the game is sold out.

The bright spot of this season is that I got the best seats ever (for me), for I think the cheapest price ever.   

Enjoy!

Yah. The Big (L)East is terrible.
God awful...

UCONN could win the NC, and SJU is good, but that is it.  BE will only get three bids, which has to be their least ever.
