1/3 of the roster next year hasn't played a minute of college basketball. If you want to have low expectations for players, have it for them. I don't know why anyone should just shrug off having two players (three if including Clark, since it's his second year) taking up roster spots when they've proven they don't provide any on court value.

Ben and Chase have obviously disappointed, but they're still getting minutes for a reason. The cumulative talent on this team is the problem. The worst MU team in decades shouldn't be dragging along dead weight into the next season.

Agreed.  I know it's semantics, but has anyone heard Shaka say the word "portal" at all?  Like  any politician in today's world know, leave yourself an "out.>  "I never said I was going to use the portal." 

That being said, I personally believe he WILL use the portal for more than one player.

The definition of chutzpah? Netanyahu complaining today that the Iranians are hitting civilians.

Quote from: wadesworld on March 02, 2026, 07:24:02 PMSo keeping guys like Hamilton or Tre next year wouldn't automatically prevent Marquette from having enough money to attract transfers from coming in like you seem to have been constantly suggesting?

Are you suggesting Shaka is going to approach them with an offer akin to "You can stay, but your pay is being reduced to $0."
That seems the equivalent of getting cut - perhaps even worse - and they'd be unlikely to stay under those circumstances.
Even then, it could prevent the kind of changes necessary because those are roster spots that may be needed. Unless you're thinking Zaide's spot and maybe SJ's are definitely enough? I would disagree with that.

14 points ... in 20 minutes ... at home ... vs DePaul.

I'll stick with that.

We were 2-13 in 1941 and averaged 32 points per game.

Quote from: forgetful on March 02, 2026, 08:05:23 PMAre we supposed to believe that somehow Iran was able to get drones through to the US Embassy in Riyadh almost 700 miles from the coast. So Iran was able to get drones across the Red Sea, across 700 miles of Saudi air space, all the way to not only the capital, but the US Embassy without being intercepted?

Seems fishy, almost unbelievable.

The saudis want Iran gone as well

Or ... in the case of Hamilton a ceiling of
D2.  Alas ... Shaka luvs him , and RGV ... EGBs ... ABCs ... so he will be back to waste a scholarship for another year!
