Recruiting as of 11/15/25

[MUbiz]

I'll be the first to concede I've definitely been annoying in my frustration with what's going on. So you're right, I can and will tone down the petulance on it.

I do disagree with the second point - "isn't all that worth getting upset over". The fact we're even on Scoop disputes that IMO. We're MUBB fanatics who spend way too much of our time on a message board. While I may be annoyed with some here, we all want the same thing and I'll always value that shared fandom over petty disagreements.

I look at the on-court results the last calendar year and concerning trend going forward, the unwillingness to work with agents costing us great prospects like Morillo, the numerous fliers we've taken in lieu of annual classes like 2025, a school-wide fascination with an acronym that prioritizes the R at the expense of the V......and I don't see an overreaction. I think we're in a terrible spot and nothing in Shaka's past 5 years and weekly pressers convinces me he thinks anything substantial needs changing. We're just throwing away season(s) in an era you can build a contender overnight.

Can I please like this post 100 times?

Kevin is talking about Morillo, he confirmed it

We had room for one of Morillo or Alex........we got Alex......likely our top target of the 2 but somebody else can correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Much to do about nothing.

Where did he confirm? I am not seeing anything on Twitter.

They very much wanted and could have brought in both. So I disagree.

Ah. Got it.

NM Answered already.

Alex had an agent. He is coming to Marquette.

So we missed on Morillo because players are realizing Shaka doesn't put Marquette in the best position to win at a high level.

I'm old enough to remember we were out as an option for Egbuonu when he announced he signed an agent. Missed opportunity. Sad.

If it's any consolation, Morillo is a poor shooter, which Marquette already has too many of.

So at least Shaka went with a shooter in Nash Walker.  Hopefully he pans out.

Iowa State scored 132 points tonight.

Milan Mimcilovic had 27 points on 8-9 from 3. Jamarion Batemon had 26 points on 7-10 from 3.

Hurts even more that we let guys in our own backyard get away when they put up shooting numbers like that. Exactly what we are missing.

Respect the process.5 years to judge
 Bring back all the Wojo defense mechanisms
 Shaka has earned the right to be defended. We are growing exponentially.

Ah, agents, how short our memory or we just don't know our history.
Remember the medling parents?
The locker room letters?
The "scandals"?
The concerted drive to have a squeaky clean program?

What are our/MU selection criteria for a Scholarship?

Who will be the next academic all american?

O.K. pick, junk yard dog or high basketball I.Q.?

You can't seriously think that agents are a blight that will destroy our program when the sport is being professionalized, every professional sport uses agents, and every other high-major program in the country is dealing with agents and getting along just fine.

There will be good agents and bad, just like any other profession, but their existence hasn't stopped any other sport from growing exponentially over the past 30-40 years.

[Hards Alumni]

Yep. They offer better growth (in bank accounts) than us.

Plus they have better breasts and thighs to offer 

[GoldenEagles03]

I'm pretty excited for Alex next year. That's one large high school kid.

[BCHoopster]

Considering the group for next year, let's say no one leaves, he brings something MU does not have, a physical presence.  I said last year that James would probably start at sometime this year and I feel Alex has a great chance of starting next year!

[jfp61]

let's say no one leaves

This would be very very very bad

[JTJ3]

There will be departures.  Just like we've had every year.

Really excited about Egbuonu.  Need more big wings.  Physically ready to play from day 1.  We're seeing how much that matters with Nigel and Stevens right now.

Hopefully Nigel and Adrien aren't any of the departures. There will certainly be teams reaching out to Nigel.

Zero concern about losing either.

I do if Shaka does not do a course correction on transfers.

I agree. These guys aren't going to want to be on the bottom forever. When we have the ability to add good players to the mix and don't, these guys are going to get frustrated. They deserve to play with good players too.

Unless MU has a massive war chest to pay players to overcome the loses, these guys can make similar money and win elsewhere.

Not allowed!!

[GoldenEagles03]

Still happens!
