Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 21, 2025, 09:32:11 PMCaedin was known to be a 5 year project. I don't see it as doubling down/tripling down by staying the course on him. He's just at the mid-point of his development at MU. I think he is better than what he has shown. He's pressing a ton and sped up, trying to prove he belongs and is a mess mentally. Think the whole team is pressing for that matter.
I just find ripping the crap out of Shaka for one bad year incredibly ignorant and classless considering he brought a better resume to the job than any MU hire in history - and massively exceeded expectations in Years 1-3, met expectations in Year 4.
I understand this season has been brutal, we've gotten blown out repeatedly. Yet it was the stress test of RGV, and I feel the players have largely been the ones who haven't performed - and from that underperformance Shaka has gotten into the spin cycle grasping for straws to try to improve the performance.
There's nothing Shaka can do during the season - other than do what he's done - trying to tinker with lineups. To jump to the conclusion that he won't do anything different this off season is pure speculation at best.
Quote from: Johnny B on December 21, 2025, 09:36:50 PMWhat the hell is the point of seeking out a "5 year project". Seems like massive amounts of resources and time for very little to no pay off.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on December 21, 2025, 07:08:31 PMI know he's been everyone's favorite whipping boy, from the biggest haters to the most optimistic, but the process over multiple years that has led to Caedin Hamilton being our starting center is the prime example of Shaka doubling and tripling down on a guy he absolutely shouldn't have.
Shaka takes a project in Itejere that he likely shouldn't have. After two years, it doesn't work out. The smart move would be to replace him with a guy with experience, since all of a sudden there's a two year development hole with that roster spot. Instead, he takes a zero star recruit in Caedin Hamilton who we beat out a prep school for. I could also never dream of playing at the D1 level, but that didn't seem like a great idea.
So Caedin comes in and redshirts as planned. No biggie, we got Oso. Still, looking forward it's concerning that there doesn't seem to be a bridge between Oso and Caedin. What Itejere or his equivalent replacement would've been.
So Oso goes to the NBA. It's clear that Caedin isn't ready. Last year's squad clearly could've used said bridge, but Shaka didn't bother. Things fall apart.
This year, it's clear Caedin still isn't ready. Shaka again doesn't bother. We enter the season with Caedin as our starting center. At no point in his career has Caedin shown he's suited for this level, yet here we are.
Shaka has doubled and tripled down on Caedin. He never should've been recruited, yet three years later he's starting for this terrible squad. In his third year he continues to be a detriment to this squad, yet over and over again, Shaka has made the wrong decision regarding him.
