Losing? Or lost years ago

I can't believe they're ranked that high. The DMV recruiting isn't worth what it once was with players going all over the country and transfers being a bigger priority than high school recruits. Their location being difficult to reach and fan support at games being low doesn't help either.

There are two distinct Georgetowns. The one that 40+ year old fans remember from their youth and the one that 10-22 year olds have watched for the past decade that has never done anything of note. Unless a family reveres Big John (the way Ed Cooley does) his accomplishments probably carry the same weight with prospective recruits as Al McGuire's do with players Marquette is targeting.

I'd put them behind Providence, though ahead of Xavier (X is too high, their NIL situation is not good, I've heard).

you take hot steamers on MU hoops a lot. Question. when has MU been a stepping stone school? Crean, but wasn't he here 8 seasons? Majerus encouraged to go to the Bucks. Piano Man canned. KO only bailed because he apparently got a shiit contract offer. Deane? fired. Buzz? He downgraded himself in a tantrum. Woj? Smoked. Where's the stepping stone aspect to MU coaches that I'm missing?

You're kidding, right?

Post-Al, what  coaches that have had success decided to stay longer than 6 years?

One, Crean, who chose to leave after 9 years for what he considered to be a better job.

That's not crapping on the program, that's reality.

I love Shaka as our Coach, and hope he modifies his approach, becomes wildly successful here and synonymous with Marquette as our "forever" coach. If he doesn't, any chance he would make a push someday at either becoming AD or President of MU?

He's probably the latter before he's the former, as he seems to have moral issues with the current state of college sports, as do many of us, and you can't really distance yourself from how the sausage is made, and still claim the moral high ground. IOW, I couldn't picture an AD Smart to a new coach: "I will look away, TJ, just get it done however you need to."

However I do feel Shaka would be an outstanding college President. He has the intellect and people skills, and he's an engaging community leader who inspires both school and civic pride.

Again, hope it's a moot point.

I'd be more worried that a new president walks in the door on July 1 and asks why he wants to spend $17 million a year for 3,000 people to show up to a downtown arena.

I think because the climate has changed dramatically, it's very difficult to know which coaches might be a good fit at MU.  I think it's pretty much inconceivable that Shaka won't pivot and make drastic changes for '26-27.  We know Shaka is a very solid coach with tbe right pieces.
