Watched Kohnen and Kager play this week, not sure they move the needle.  Nice players, like Kagers size.

Quote from: Viper on December 11, 2025, 07:01:55 PMpretty much so since we really don't know if Sheek is any good. We were told Caedin is good. Or, Ben has NBA written all over him. Or, reports from open practice the team looks good. So yeah, I guess just let the chips fall. Can't be worse, right?

Some of us have seen Sheek play, for a few years now.  He can play.  We dont need the staff to hype him up through the media.

Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 11, 2025, 07:21:40 PMYou should probably just quit being a fan from now until 2027, or Shaka is fired.  Clearly, Shaka is clueless, guys never improve, and its impossible that any of the redshirt freshman, and true freshman next year bring anything to the table.  We are screwed.

I'm still going to watch the games, root for my favorite team and hope they prove me wrong.

I can also realistically look at this roster, the expected roster for next year and make a prediction based on their current performance levels and what I believe is their potential.

I don't need to put blinders on and keep telling myself everything is going to be ok when there is absolutely no factual basis behind that.  I also know freshmen, no matter how highly ranked, are freshmen and if we're relying on them to perform next year to take a leap, we're still in big trouble.

Stirtz began his career at a D2 school?  The kid has a lot of game.

Quote from: wadesworld on December 11, 2025, 06:03:01 PMDavis deserves to be with the first group, while the other 2 should be depth options. Shaka is in on high level talent in the class. Really needs to land a couple of them, or similar level of players.
He needs to do a lot more than land 2 of these players

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on December 10, 2025, 03:53:33 PM17. Marquette Golden Eagles
Previous ranking: 17
What happens at the point guard position? All-American Tyler Kolek is off to the NBA, and backup point guard Sean Jones is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last January. Shaka Smart could opt to move Kam Jones to the point guard spot; he's a big-time scorer and shooter, but he has shown playmaking ability. Stevie Mitchell could also handle the ball more often.
Projected starting lineup
Kam Jones (17.2 PPG)
Stevie Mitchell (8.8 PPG)
Chase Ross (6.1 PPG)
David Joplin (10.8 PPG)
Ben Gold (5.0 PPG)

This is where ESPN had MarquetteSeptember 2024
Replace irreplaceable Kam with Nigel.
Replace Awesome Stevie with Adrien.
Replace Super Jop with Royce.
Zaide and others off the bench.
Let the chips fall where they may this year.
Add Sheek others and Transfers next year.
Let the chips fall where they may.
pretty much so since we really don't know if Sheek is any good. We were told Caedin is good. Or, Ben has NBA written all over him. Or, reports from open practice the team looks good. So yeah, I guess just let the chips fall. Can't be worse, right?
