All those guys were in the 60s after Kojis, other than West

Robertson was in 59 as well.

He has his degree.

Ah. Then let's get it done!!

It's also a reminder of just how much talent MU landed in those days: 8 consensus AP All-Americans between 1971 and 1980. Pretty amazing.

Not enough championships for all that talent

I love Doc but 22 deserves it way more.

You might be right on March success for the boys. I do believe that Al had everything in place for a great five year run post NC. Unfortunately, we never saw it happen. '74-'77 was a very good run and they had pipeline for best of the best recruits when Al stepped down. His departure was Louisville and DePaul's gain.

Completely correct. Replacing Al with Hank was one of the three great mistakes of Marquette History.

1. Hiring Hank Raymond
2. Exploring the Mississippi
3. Lalumiere Hall

Got to love the off-season!

Amazing how far back The Great Mistakes Of Marquette History go:

14 years ago: Marquette Gold
16 years ago: Carlton Christian
27 years ago: Avenue Commons
29 years ago: L.A. Gear contract
41 years ago: Replacing Al with Hank
49 years ago: Lalumiere Hall (IMO McCormick is a far worse architectural travesty)
59 years ago: Dropping football
346 years ago: Exploring the Mississippi

But...but...he dunked on Amare Stoudemire in a high school game once.

This is a bad take.  McCormick represents Milwaukee's most famous export. It is perfection in every way.

Does that mean MU is on a pretty good 'not effing up' run?

Back to Markus.......

The Athletic did anonymous interviews during the tournament with 110 players. One of the questions asked was who was the best college player in the country this year. Markus came in 3rd.

Zion was 1st by a very wide margin and Ja was 2nd.

Must have been a few K-State / Creighton / Buffalo players in that survey

Interesting.

I would take Cassius Winston and Carsen Edwards over Markus right now (NCAA-wise)

[Billy Hoyle]

Not enough championships for all that talent

look at the teams they were competing against. UCLA, the greatest dynasty in college sports, NC State in 1974, the undefeated 1976 Indiana team that knocked us off in the Elite 8. The top was loaded and this was before seeding in the tourney. And who knows what would have happened in 1970,

As a '77 MU grad, completely agree. The key would have been Mark Aguirre. As a freshman in 1978–79, he led DePaul to the NCAA Final Four. Would he and the other Chicago high school stars who went to DePaul, have picked Marquette instead if Al had stayed?
