I think there will be another vavancy, brining it to 2. Honestly have no clue who it'll be, but I do think it should be either Sean, Tre or Caedin.

While Tre is severely limited, I do think there's value with him on the roster as a culture guy. He's embraced his role well (much better than Zaide).

Caedin is in his third year and has shown very little as a Big East player. I really think he was set up to fail which is a bummer for him. Clark could be a solid 10 minute lob threat/rim protector but that could be his ceiling.

Sean could be back for his senior year playing 8 minutes a game but I wouldn't count on him being a huge difference maker.

Needs:
-Senior scoring guard from a mid-major
-Jr/sr forward with a wide body and physical rebounding. It could be a role player from a power conference team that wants more minutes or a mid-major transfering up.

I think these at least 1 of these 2 additions would make a world of difference. It would open up Nigel's playmaking and allow Royce + Sheek to focus on scoring.

I'm liking what I see from Damarius, Adrian Stevens, and Phillips more and more. If Ian/Nash can bring outside shooting then we might not need backcourt help. No matter what, we need to bring in a big man

Not sure why I continue to go watch us play this season haha, I'm 0-3 (IU, Maryland, DePaul). My guess is it'll be 0-4 when I go up for NMD.

Was really encouraged by Nigel's hot start, Royce's aggressive takes in the 1st half, and more Damarius glimpses and confidence going to the rack. Man he can literally SOAR out there, it's astonishing to see up close. The growth of the underclassmen has long been all I care about this season. 2nd half was about as brutal as it gets: the lack of stops was infuriating in real time but I didn't realize it was Shaka's second worst defensive game at MU per PaintTouches (Butler 2022).

Just don't understand the Caedin loyalty. I really don't. I get Ben is banged up but we were playing our best in the 1st half with him on the bench. He starts the 2nd half and we immediately give up a 14-0 run. If we need size, I'd much rather have Josh in there if Ben can't go. I'm also bummed out we got zero Michael Phillips minutes...why?? We have 1 shooter on this team and apparently he's not good enough to play a single second? Especially when DePaul is playing a zone and we need anyone to bust it. So confusing to me.

Tough season. As hard as it is, we probably need these losses to spur Shaka to make meaningful changes come April. So......yay?

Apparently not good enough to see the floor on the BE's worst team.

All on a US passport, but I'm shopping for another one to add for ease of entry to some countries.  "Visa Reciprocity" is diminishing the value of the US passport (for travel purposes - it's still the most valuable in general!).

Blah blah blah.

You don't think red shirt players aren't evaluating whether to stay or look elsewhere 
If next year begins to look more like the same I know I would be looking around for a more successful program if I were on that bench. Pride might be mean something more than a paycheck if you are a competitive person.

Still no? Really?
