Blue v. Gold Scrimmage

[panda]

Mike Kinsella was both taller (7'0) and a better career 3-point shooter (80.0%) than Theo.

One of my favorite MU memories - kinsella v Pitt. He had such a good stroke. Was always knock down in warmup ups too.

It would be great if Marquette recruited 5-stars and 4-stars who would stay, develop and excel for 4 years ... while all of our opponents would recruit poorly and see all of their players leave after 1 year.

If Shaka can't make that happen, maybe he's not the right coach for Marquette.

[BCHoopster]

Seriously Shaka does not want to recruit one and dones, not how he is building his teams.  You say, Shaka is not the right coach, really.  Big East titles last year, 17-3 in conference, excitement this year, you can not find a better coach. Let the big boys dole out money to one and dones which is totally stupid.

100% agree with you. When is the last time a team of one and dones won a championship? The only team of one and dones that I can think of that did well was 2008 Memphis - and they lost in Championship game.

Maybe 2012 Kentucky could be considered the last team of one and dones that won a championship? Most of the time one and done teams don't work out.

The 2015 Duke team was four freshmen and two sophomores.

2015 Duke was led by four freshmen and Quinn Cook.

Ah yes! Missed that team. Thanks!

Pretty sure your sarcasm detector didn't go off...82 was being sarcastic.

[Viper]

It’s a positive for the program overall in regards to showcasing player development. Of course it would be great to have OMax back but it’s also a great opportunity for Jop, Ross, Gold, etc.

…yes, I agree

A sarcasm detector? Oh, that's a real useful invention.

Building a team full of one and dones may not be the best way to construct a roster. But having that top end talent is fairly necessary to winning a title. I can’t find the stat right now, but something like only 3 teams have won a national championship without a McDonald’s All American on the team, and a majority of national champions have multiple McDonald’s All Americans.

Historically yes. But recently, last year's UConn team and the 2021 Baylor team didn't have one. In fact, there wasn't a McD AA in the entire Final Four last year.

Big Ben may be the reincarnation of Bill Walton.

Don’t limit Ben by comparing him to only the 2nd greatest college center ever.

Multiple NBA players is a better gauge I think.  Wisconsin nearly won a national title without a burger boy but a number of those players at least had a cup of coffee in the association.

Yeah the transfer situation definitely changes the landscape. And I thought the number was 3 teams as I knew for a long time it was Maryland that was the only team that had won a title without a Burger Boy, and knew UCONN this year. Remembered there was one other but couldn’t remember who, thank you on Baylor.

2014 UConn too.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The 2015 Duke team was four freshmen and two sophomores.

2012 Kentucky too. 4 freshmen, 2 sophomores, and senior Darius Miller (who came off the bench). All future NBA players, all ranked in the top 35 of the RSCI. They actually had an 8th top 35 guy who got garbage minutes.
