Quote from: CountryRoads on January 24, 2026, 01:25:00 PMIMO, we slowly accumulated a bunch of dead weight during the highly successful first few years. Then once that group departed, we were left with the dead weight and newcomers. It was a tough spot to be in for Shaka because there wouldn't have been much playing time available for guys who would be juniors now in their first 2 years.We shall see.
In hindsight, wish Shaka treated this like his first year. Remove the dead weight (ie Dexter Akanno and Jose Perez) and replace them with more proven players. I guess it was tougher because he had closer relationships with the current dead weight. I do think Shaka could have bridged the gap better as the culture turned over to these new 1st and 2nd year guys.
So, I think the future is still bright but this year was mismanaged. A quicker hook is needed on the players who don't meet expectations after 2 years. Hopefully lessons learned and it's avoided in the future.

Quote from: 79Warrior on Today at 09:26:06 AMI was referring to buying a new roster if you read Towers post. Not a couple of players.
Quote from: WhiteTrash on January 17, 2026, 06:13:48 PMTrue that nobody can reference the last time X school lost 20 games, just like nobody can reference the last time X school ranked 337th in FG%, but it doesn't mean it's not important.
(Hint: a Milwaukee based school is ranked 337th in FG%)
Quote from: Babybluejeans on January 24, 2026, 12:17:21 PMSo here's the hypo: we're sitting in a bar and I asked you for a quick summary of what's going on with MU basketball right now, what you would you say?
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 07:47:42 AMPhillips is not "to" skinny and could be a guy to take a leap next season. We need shooting and he'll be one of our better options to provide it as of now.
I'd expect Johnston to RS and would be surprised if Phillips did.
DO is also not skinny.
