but you get 82's tone, right? Mocking the 'transfer', as if RGV is the way. Let's all admit, RGV is bs. I don't recall who posted it, but someone referred to Shaka as Helen Keller. Maybe a bit harsh, but not necessarily inaccurate. You want to win big...deep runs in March...you know, a Buzz-like E8, or flounder along barely beating Central Michigan? Bring in players by any means!!! Recruit better, damn it. Get portal playa's! Or, not. But no one should bitch when MU is playing in some garbage tourney such as the Crowne.(Waiting on Sultan to be a master contrarian and point out how I'm wrong)

Matt just called another 3rd and 3 hand off

As disappointing as Shaka

Quote from: Viper on November 25, 2025, 06:24:49 PMhe played high major competition last year and was damn good as named Big freshman of the year. Maybe there's an adjustment period this year? Maybe, as it turns out,  he should have remained at Iowa? Regardless, I'd roll the dice with him over a stiff like Hamilton.

He was not Big Ten freshman of the year last year.

Where have you gone, Brian Barone? Marquette Nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Quote from: The Sultan on November 25, 2025, 02:58:38 PMUh...just take a look how he has done against high major competition so far this season. Big yikes.

Question should be, will he be fired vs should he be fired after no big dance after 2 years?

Will he be fired: answer is no.

Should he be fired: Yes, if he does not show Flexibility on his no portal policy. That is he does not learn from mistakes for any number of reasons.

Another loss for Bradley.  Wardle is no longer on the list.  Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Quote from: BCHoopster on November 24, 2025, 12:58:52 PMGolden Eagle, you're exactly right. I thought MU was on an uptick totally and by year 5 and 6 MU should be a team that would be in the top 20 year in and year out.  The NLI situation probably has hurt Shaka as his philosophy is to pay as they go, not overpaying a frosh.  I guarantee Shaka outworked Calapari for JJ Andrews, but for some it is all about the money.  What's my main gripe is Shaka's inability to recruit local kids, really thought Shaka had a chance on Dooney, oh well

Dooney has handlers that from everything Shaka has said and done in the past....wasn't about.

Quote from: Markusquette on November 25, 2025, 06:02:45 PMThat's the reality if they want to be competitive in this day and age. Clinging on to relationships might not get him to where he needs to be.

The downside to that, is it may be harder to sell RGV to the HS recruit.  Recent commits have said they value Shaka's "family" atmosphere and likely feel there is less chance of being recruited over.

The above change could be seen as contradictory.
