I 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.   

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. 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.

Complete crap shows.

They are calling it a lateral move. Basically still Asst. GM, but the title of GM.

Additionally, I think the Rooney Rule is being phased out.

He's a deep cut NBA draft prospect.  Not projected to be drafted this year, but someone the draftniks are keeping an eye on.

Quote from: MU82 on March 09, 2026, 12:47:06 PMHere's Matt Heldt's game log for 2018-19:

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/max-heldt-1/gamelog/2019

He was an out-of-rotation backup big who served as an experienced insurance policy if a couple of guys got in foul trouble. That's an example of how Caedin could be used next season (and how he largely was used the second half of this season); if so, simply having him on the roster wouldn't doom Marquette to failure.

The trouble would be if Shaka thinks Caedin is more than that. But based on how he used Caedin since late December, Shaka knows exactly what Caedin is.

The beautiful thing is that pretty soon we'll get to see what actually happens!

Perfect.

Shaheed is staying with the Seahawks - 3/$51M. In interviews, Shaheed had voiced his desire to stay with Seattle, and it looks like he took less than the going rate for a #2 WR who also is a dynamic return man.

Would have loved to have kept Bryant, but I'm mostly pleased with how the Seahawks dealt with their own free agents. Now they have some work to do regarding other available FAs out there, especially at RB and DB.

It's a good thing the Packers play in Wisconsin because they need as many 300 pounders as they can find
