Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 12:19:33 PMWhy do you think a Painter/Purdue model couldn't work for Marquette?
That seems to be the most logical pivot Shaka could make and I don't understand why he couldn't be successful with it.
Quote from: Jockey on Today at 12:13:22 PMI agree but I think players understand that better players get more money whether they are better players - not just because they stayed longer in the program.
Why would Nigel complain if they brought in a top center from the portal at more money than he is getting? It helps the team win which in turn means he will make more if he continues to develop.
Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:05:59 AMI'm on board with a roster of mostly high school recruits that you develop, but Shaka has to start hitting on these higher talent recruits he's in on but not landing. And then he needs to understand the flaws in the roster and address them through the portal. It doesn't take a new roster every year, just a new guy here and there.
Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:05:59 AMI trust Shaka will adjust. I trust he'll adjust his strategy moving forward.
Quote from: MU82 on Today at 12:12:41 PMI disagree that Shaka is "a failure."
This season is a failure ... after four mostly enjoyable, entertaining, successful seasons. If he continues with his current roster-building philosophy and it continues to fail, then we can revisit whether or not he's a failure.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:16:58 AMNice to know that this old guy is still residing rent-free in your head, even if I haven't watched "linear TV" in years.
Long AAPL.
Quote from: Scoop Snoop on January 14, 2026, 08:41:10 PMGreat post 82. I simply do not believe that Shaka will do all of what he needs to do, and as long as he is our coach we will not "return to prominence". With a patched up, or "modified" RGV, we/Shaka still will not be able to do what is necessary. Middle-of-the-pack in the BE would be our ceiling. RGV has to go, which means its creator has to go in order to "return to prominence". Cue the scoopers with the "one bad season" and reciting his very impressive accomplishments, as if they are relevant to the here and now of this mind-boggling disaster resulting from RGV. Then was then, and now is now.
I never, ever thought I would write this, but Coach Don Quixote, astride his steed Argeevy, needs to ride off into the sunset. I hate saying this, but it is what I believe.
Edit: I am well aware that he will likely return next season. I am simply expressing my opinion.
