Big add. Really like his fit here. If Garcia pulls out of the draft and Morsell comes, giddyup.

[Bricky]

Where does that put us at scholarship count?

[muhoops1]

Is there a chance Dawson goes to the G League Ignite roster?  Or do we get roster exemptions?  This is two too many right?

[CountryRoads]

Interesting get. Is that our first juco in 8 or so years?

Awesome Welcome Kur!!

Kur is a great fit for what shaka will want to do. So i love it.

At least 2 of Dawson, Greg, Dex, and Jose are leaving i guess. So i guess we'll wait it out.

What is going on!

I’ll be very surprised if Dawson is back next year

[JTJ3]

yeah its starting to feel like dawson is moving on.  just too many bigs for 2 spots otherwise.

I believe that this will be Kuath's "covid year" - does he not count against our scholarship count, maybe?

No. I don't believe so. I expect 2-3 more transfers out to be announced.

That's only if they stayed at the same school.  This is his extra year of eligibility, but he counts for MU.

[MuggsyB]

No. I don't believe so. I expect 2-3 more transfers out to be announced.

Agreed.  Boy this team is excting/interesting on paper if Garcia is back.  3 very intriguing transfers.  Kuath has pretty good production in 17 mpg.  I'm predicting we lose three players.

You gotta love the shaka Marquette make over.

Anyone else concerned with the way Shaka is running the program? I like all this new talent he’s bringing in but the over recruiting makes me a little squeamish. Don’t know if I agree with the message it sends to future recruits.

Winning is all that matters.

Ok, that makes sense.  Wonder if they'd try to apply for a waiver on that rule?  With Covid still wreaking havoc on post-collegiate job prospects, I could see the NCAA making exceptions all over the place this year.  These guys have an unusually limited job market this year - Kuath originally said he was going pro, only to change his mind.  We've seen that a lot.

Its his team now...roster turnover is going to happen...Do you recall all the shady stuff Buzz did? Even the impeccable Wojo had a number of transfers out...We also dont know at all what conversations have been had. Would you rather a bunch of guys transfer and we have 3 open schollys or have a stable of guys ready to roll?

there is ALOT of things taking place inside the program right now. I wouldn't be too worried about Shaka's recruiting tactics, He's big on relationship building. He's not going to do things to jeopardize relationships with current player or prospective recruits. 

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Yeah just because we don't know what is going on, that doesn't mean that there isn't something going on.
