Quote from: WhiteTrash on March 09, 2026, 07:02:25 PMI see the logic in having the absolute best players to fill out 15 spots, but I can also see some value in having a big body for scrimmages that is content with very little PT and is a good teammate.

Now if Hamilton is allowed to bleed off NIL funds that cost MU a player, then shame on Shaka. But it seems inconceivable that Shaka would jeopardize the team and maybe his job for a player like Hamilton.   

If Hamilton wasn't publicly gassed up all offseason and early on by Shaka & subsequently didn't get way too many minutes for way too long, I don't believe anyone would have such strong feelings if he had this role. If he's on the team he should be nothing more than mop up duty, if he's cool with that and not soaking NIL as you mentioned that's fine, my guess is he's voluntold he's going elsewhere.

Quote from: 79Warrior on March 09, 2026, 07:06:27 PMDon't renew. It has happened before and the program survived. So much drama after one disappointing season.

Geez Did not say that. We are renewing. We are locked in and have renewed and supported the program since 1966 and probably more than most everyone.  Maybe even You. If you want Marquette to win and succeed and profit, Losing Season ticket holders is not the best. Prefer to do more than survive. Would like to win, have fun and succeed.

That white Sox bill account had this two days ago. Starting to think he knows things. Lol

Quote from: Jay Bee on March 09, 2026, 11:54:52 AMHopefully MU has a "massive transformation" before next season.

I think Michigan loses a few key pieces this year.

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on March 09, 2026, 07:01:07 PMAgree. Again Hamilton was rated 98th out of 99 Big East Players in an Efficiency Rating posted on this Site. And again we have been season ticket holders of four tickets for about 60 years and front row for over 20 years including the 2003 Final Four Year. Speaking to another Longtime Season Ticket Holder today who is on many Boards in the area. He said, what I have heard too, that many people are considering not renewing their season tickets if this losing continues. Not sure if this is a Scoop but we are at a stage where people are verbalizing this.

The beginning of the end.  So it has been told.

Quote from: panda on March 09, 2026, 11:59:51 AMAside from taking 10,000 meaningless hook shots, Hamilton did nothing to earn his minutes. The only actual justification for Hamilton's minutes throughout the season could only be explained as Shaka "fan boying" for his teachers pet. You can point to the exact time we turned into a bubble team and it is when Hamilton departed the starting lineup/significant minutes and Parham started playing more.

He's done nothing to earn his spot on this roster other than his superb ability to collect EGB's.

I guess you and Shaka will just disagree.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on March 09, 2026, 06:25:03 PM...but why keep him at all when you can find a better transfer. Let's see what happens in the off season.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on March 09, 2026, 06:00:16 PMNobody seems to disagree about Hamilton here except Shaka and staff. The issue is when filling out this roster is if Shaka goes, 'well we can plug Hamilton in for 20 minutes, let's find the rest somewhere else'. He's clearly overestimated his ability the past two seasons, it's not a given he doesn't do it again.

Agree. Again Hamilton was rated 98th out of 99 Big East Players in an Efficiency Rating posted on this Site. And again we have been season ticket holders of four tickets for about 60 years and front row for over 20 years including the 2003 Final Four Year.
