Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 01:47:09 PMSo someone on Dodd's board (great place to get information...) says he'll only recruit kids he has a relationship with from the past.  Meanwhile, we have Scoop's finest saying he's a "grudge guy" and won't recruit anyone who he's recruited in the past.

Lol.

The relationship in the past thing is from an interview a year or two ago where Shaka was stating the parameters in which he would take a transfer. Mentioned someone they have a previous relationship with, who fits/understands the culture and it just wasn't the right time.

Maybe he's doubled down on that again but I'm guessing that's where the dodds poster got that snippet from.

Im sure a past recruiting relationship wouldnt hurt, but it definitely isnt a requirement for the transfers we are interested in.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 12:24:49 PMFair enough.  But since you're the export, how specifically were his most recent comments "psychological warfare."

Do you think he is never genuine when complimenting another program, coach or player?

I never called myself the expert - you did. And thanks, I guess...

Well, we also heard names like Miles Byrd, who as far as I can tell, Shaka never recruited.

So really who knows?

Like with recruiting, I will judge on results.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on Today at 01:34:10 PMIt's not bitching when those criticisms about Marquette are absolutely true and have nothing to do with winning basketball games or a national championship.   

It's bitching.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 01:10:16 PMJust last week, my wife and I were in the car sitting at a stoplight. A guy on a bike pulled up next to us and signaled me to roll down the window. I did, and he asked, "Are you from Michigan?" When I said no, he said, "Oh, I saw the Marquette sticker on the back of your car, so I thought you were from Michigan."

"Nope. I went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin."

Sigh.

Its all the weather channels fault.

Quote from: SchnitzelBoy on Today at 12:20:53 PMI'm hearing on the 247 board that "Shaka is only going after guys he has a relationship with." While I think that (if true) is just another self-imposed limit on the approach

That is quite the limiting approach if true. That massively reduces the talent pool. This could be a CLM for Shaka. CLM - career limiting move.

The man thought he finally found a another yooper!

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 12:38:41 PMYou bitch about everything from our basketball team, to Marquette not being Catholic enough to Marquette costing too much. So my guess is that you won't stop even with a national championship.
