So historical track record is meaningless when you selectively decide it is?

We're less than a year into immediate eligibility and all we can go by is history. Transfers have been skyrocketing across the NCAA for the past decade as we've already seen, but that hasn't happened to Smart's programs. You act like increased transfers is something new, it's not. Which is why the only thing we can go by is historical track record and dismissing that makes it sound like you are just trying to create a new narrative out of whole cloth with nothing to back it up but your own negativity.

Lol, damn near 3-0, yet we're 0-3?  Pass the joint, please.  Could we have won the X and Creighton games?  Yeah, sure.  But they didn't.  Because they failed to execute multiple times when it mattered. 

No, I didn't think this team would be a top 3-4 team in the BE.  I thought they would suck. And they do.  I was encouraged with the results in Charleston and regained some hope for this season, but its been really ugly since. 

I have repeatedly said I like Shaka and I think he'll get there.  Definitely not this season, probably not next season.  It'll happen.  I think he's a good coach.  I did, however, have higher hopes for Shaka in year 1 after he was hired, and I am discouraged by this roster. 

I also think this overarching philosophy peddled here constantly that Shaka is building this great culture, all these guys have bought in and they're all just going to ignore the open transfer market and sing Kumbaya for 4 seasons is a bunch of BS.  He built a roster that can't compete against high major teams, and is highly reliant on retaining the lionshare of these young players for 3-4 seasons in a new environment in cbb that makes that statistically improbable.  A large share of this "culture" he building is high likely to be out the door in 24 months.  Build a roster to win each season.  He got too cute, IMO. 

Nearly everything here speculating about the future is....well....speculation.  Just like your comical statement that 10 or 11 of these guys are here for the "long haul".  Again, pass the joint, bruh.  Take a look around the NCAA - very few guys are going to be staying in one place for 4 seasons moving forward. 

I've largely been a very optimistic fan and poster over the years.  I am sick of sucking balls.  Its gotten old.  I expect better.  I didn't expect a team ranked in the top 25 this year, but I did expect Shaka to build a team that could compete in the BE.  This one can't.

Seems like the type of guy they want with they want is a wing.

I know they offered Ben Gold, and NBA Academy player from New Zealand https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/versatile-new-zealand-national-ben-gold-holds-marquette-offer

They had at one point offered Jaret Valencia, a Colombian playing in Houston.
https://247sports.com/Player/Jaret-Valencia-46097237/

And they spent time looking at Bobi Klintman, a Swede playing in Kansas that decommited form Maryland.

My guess is any 1-2 Scholarships that may open up will be filled by transfers

Shaka should be sending both bigs (lobs) and shooters (kicks) video of Kolek distributing the ball. Let them know they can come to Marquette and get wide open looks all game.

Johnathan Lamothe was at the game. Being recruited by both teams. Hope he liked what he saw
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

He has an exciting style of play to sell and we are not scratching the surface of his system. The W's are going to help and playing in March will as well.

He talked a LOT about Giannis in that interview.  Why not hoop in the same arena as his idol??

Chase Ross had something like 25 points in the game yesterday in a win over New Hampton Prep.  Go to the 1:59:40 mark of the video for the play of the game.

Marquette are the favorites for Darrin "Dai Dai" Ames ahead of Illinois and Oklahoma. He's also being looked at by Kentucky. https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/the-cassidy-awards-hoophall-classic

Huge!  Ames is an absolute stud and plays so aggressive on both ends.  Easy to see why Shaka would be pursuing so hard.

Would be nice to get back into Chicago too.

Hopefully Ames commits to Marquette and never transfers to Ames.
