Quote from: Biggie Clausen on December 09, 2025, 04:17:09 PMI don't recall Marquette *ever* winning a recruiting battle against Duke, MSU, or Kentucky.

Henry Ellenson chose Marquette over Michigan State and Kentucky.

Joey Hauser chose Marquette over Michigan State, with Kansas showing interest late.

Dawson Garcia chose Marquette over Indiana.

Will MU's player payroll be in the top 25? Can it be with MU's current resources?

Slap, choke, maybe punch. That's the way Shaka can turn this season around.

It surely would help him on the recruiting trail, too. What 17-year-old doesn't want physical altercations with his future coach?

The Schwarber contract gives the players' union yet another argument against a salary cap. Numerous teams - including the Pirates! - were competing to throw outrageous sums of money at a DH, and he ended up getting a humongous contract that will take him into his late 30s.

The money is there, as is the willingness to spend it. What incentive do the players have to help protect the owners from each other?

I don't recall Marquette *ever* winning a recruiting battle against Duke, MSU, or Kentucky.  Heck, I don't think we've ever even beaten out Louisville.

No one is asking Shaka and Marquette to spend $5 million on AJ Dybantsa.  But to maybe fork it over for that one missing piece that could help us win a championship, or plugging a couple holes with guys who could help us avoid having a disastrous season like the one this is shaping up to be?  Yeah, I think the program could probably manage that.

So, maybe we need to do the best we can recruiting both in portal and out of HS and hope dysfunction, early draft, etc. hits the big donor schools.
Has anything really changed with going up against the big $$ donor schools over the years?

Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 09, 2025, 02:52:20 PMSoo...unless Marquette can compete with $20M payrolls at Kentucky, and $400 Million Dollar donations to its athletic department, maybe it's possible the RGV model is really our only way to compete going forward? 

You call this competing?
