But we're staring at a year that would be significantly worse than Wojo's first two years. We might be the worst power conference team in the nation this year. If he has another one next year, he should be fired. If they improve a lot next year and but are still bad, I'd give him another year to show he's back on track. But this is an insanely bad team. And he's responsible for it.

I like Shaka a lot and hope he's here a long time, but he needs to do better than whatever the hell this is.

I'm astounded some people can't comprehend the context with which I wrote my post suggesting Shaka should have 5 years to get us back on the right "trajectory"  I just found it ironic that the Scooper who preached patience with Wojo (Brewcity77) for 5 years, when Wojo had accomplished ZERO at MU or elsehwere as a Head Coach - is flat out pissed off and thinks Shaka should have a warm seat for his first bad season at MU, AFTER doing a very good job at MU the first 4 years.  Get it?

I don't think it will take Shaka 5 years to turn it around, but for you or other Scoopers who thought my post suggesting he should get 5 years was crazy - then those same Scoopers sure AF had a weird double and different standard for Wojo..who hadn't done squat at MU and preached patience for 5 years.

If Shaka chooses to stay at MU he will get things turned around within a couple of years max.  But, I wouldn't blame him for leaving for a Power 4 job at a school with better donor base.  The way our fanbase has turned on him astounds me after what he's accomplished here having come into a program that hadn't won a tournament game in 10 years.

I'm not done watching every season of "Pornography". Will take a while

Quote from: Zog from Margo on December 25, 2025, 11:03:57 AMI think "betraying trust" is an overstatement. Ben Steele said in his article that he expects a couple of players to transfer after the season and Shaka has not said he would never use the portal. Shaka has given the guys he recruited every chance in the world to succeed. He's already favored them over players in the portal. So giving them years to show what they have before telling them they won't be playing in the future at MU is not betraying any trust IMO.

Outstanding post.

Shaka is great at talking to people, and he's a very persuasive gentleman.

I truly believe he would be able to convince the majority of folks who matter (current players and their parents, and recruits and their parents) that RGV is still a thing at MU ... even if some current players are "encouraged" to leave, and even if the portal is used the way programs such as Purdue, Gonzaga and MSU do.

I hope Shaka does that and I think he will, but obviously none of us know what he actually will do after this season.

Kolek was incredible, and they actually were chanting his name at the Garden. If he can shoot near 40% from 3 - and I think he could if he keeps getting consistent playing time - he becomes all the more valuable, because his court vision and passing skills are elite even at the NBA level.

Brown and the Knicks brass are gonna have some tough decisions to make when Shamet and McBride get back. Someone's gonna have to get traded, maybe even Kolek.

Too bad he can't read all of the nice things being written about him.

Still the TK we know and love. Not afraid to chirp an NBA superstar...

The main criticism of his big night the other night was efficiency.  Well he cleaned that up in a big way today. What a week he's had. Seizing the moment is gonna potentially change his whole NBA career

I'm extremely out on Shaka but if he drinks Underwood's milkshake and puts out a lineup of

Rokas

I'm so back

Can Shaka grow a few of these guys?

I think we should recruit kids who can score more than the other team
