Dovetails precisely with the now shut down dystopia thread.

Yeah, at this point I'd rather trade Giannis than trade for Morant

Willie - I agree

It's long past time for Shaka to take some responsibility and blame.

How about he once - just once - says that this season is unacceptable.  It's NOT what MU ( and he ) expects. And at least say he will fix it ? He could admit that he's not done well enough and needs to be better ...  But, nope

Instead, after every damn game we get the same lame platitudes and stupid cliches.

Quote from: The Equalizer on Today at 10:33:37 AMFailure to recruit the portal is not his "error"--his error lies in his entire operating philosophy . . .

- not using the portal
- prioritizing your current roster over always looking to improve your team
- not dealing with agents
- ignoring potential recruits if they desire to maximize earnings
- believing that low-major recruits reliably can be "coached up" to Big East level
- prioritizing culture and relationships over performance
- prioritizing retention over improvement
- prioritizing practice over games

The answer is not simply "recruit the portal."  It's recruit (and land) Big East ready talent wherever he can find it.

A guy like Drayton Jones in the middle would be 100x better than what we have now he wasn't demanding massive NIL (Butler doesn't have what we have and Ajayi and Jackson were the big dollar guys for them). But no, Shaka had to protect his RVG brand with Hamilton and Clark.

We don't need to recruit million dollar stars in the Portal, we needed to fill holes.
