Nothing but love, brother.

It seems very likely Marquette will have 2 open spots at minimum this offseason.

If Shaka brings in 2 quality starters (a center and a scoring wing or combo guard), I doubt his seat gets warm next season.

He can still make a modified version of RGV work going forward (same model Izzo and Painter use).

Will still need much more depth to seriously compete imo

How do you define "seriously compete"?

In my scenario I think that's a potential tourney team.

I just have a hard time seeing Shaka going into that portal that hard.

Hard to define expectations without knowing who the transfers are, but regardless — I don't think a bench which would exist if we only have 2 open spots next year is anywhere remotely close to helping 5 competent players make the tournament.

Bench of Owens, Phillips, Sheek, and Egbuonu. Completely fair to say it's totally unproven.  Also completely fair to say that group has a lot of potential.

There are a few other potentially helpful pieces in Walker, Mitilic and Clark.

That is a tournament team assuming we keep the freshman and sophomores.  No doubt in my mind.  Depth will come from the freshmen and the RS freshmen.  If they happen to get a third transfer all the better. But two is all that is truly needed.  They will be top 3 in the Big East next year with your scenario.
