Where are with with Morsell?

What are our chances getting Baldwin?

What are our chances getting Baldwin?

I know it's been bandied about, but I'm hesitant to believe any of it, especially since ESPN announced today he would be deciding between Duke, Georgetown, and UW-Milwaukee tomorrow. My money is on Milwaukee.

Slim to none and slim is leaving town.

Lets see how Shaka completes the roster before we go into Dodds mode. I think he has a couple of more moves to make and if they work out MU could be a very competitive team.

If a couple experienced, proven players transfer in, my expectations will change.     As the roster is currently configured, I will focus on the process and not the record.

Zero.

I believe we are better off without Carton. You cannot rely on a player that plays with so little effort for too much of the game.

DJ Carton was breaking opposing guarding players ankles.  At some point fatigue has to catch up to you.

[Farley36]

We had 3 high major players last season.  Losing one of those three makes us much worse, yes.

We'll see about that.  I don't know how you can be much worse than the team was last year.  Those 3 high major players obviously weren't good enough to make us a good team last year and the team would not have been good this year either had things stayed the same.  So even without Carton I doubt the team results are much worse this year but the future is brighter.

Very good point being made here. In The Big East every possession is a battle and games are close. A team will end up in the bottom of the conference if it takes possessions off.

A team will also end up at the bottom if it has no upperclassmen of note.

That is also a good point .

[THRILLHO]

I'm guessing, like with everything, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Not your main point but this is just so wrong.

[Galway Eagle]

Do you know for sure what happened then?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

No question, we were bad last season. But we did not fall into the abyss that some P6 programs have fallen into. The team certainly could be worse next season. On paper right now, I would say it is worse than last season's team. But we are not done making moves and I think Shaka is a significantly better coach who will get a lot more out of his roster than Wojo ever did. Future is bright!

[MU82]

It would be funny that some Scoopers believe last season's team was the worst ever and that Wojo was the worst coach in basketball history ... except they actually believe that.

And as a bonus, they think that losing our best player will automatically make us better.

Have you ever seen tower and Dodd's in the same room?

Mike used to be a journalist. Now he just makes things up. Wait...

[Stretchdeltsig]

Agree. I liked the kid but he didn't play to win. He was invisible or a turn over machine for too minutes each game. When he would play hard it seemed to be for his personal highlight tape. I am excited about our chances to play better next season with a much better game coach and plenty of great talent.

Did you or did you not say that you didn't "know how you can be much worse than the team was last year"?

[Lennys Tap]

Did you or did you not say that you didn't "know how you can be much worse than the team was last year"?

So when someone says we can't be "much worse" than we were last year that (to you) translates to "last year's team was the worst in Marquette history" and "Wojo is the worst coach in Marquette's history"? Really?

[wadesworld]

I wonder what the ven diagram looks like for people who hated Markus because he was a chucker and hated DJ because he didn't chuck for 40 minutes every game.

I guess only you're allowed to use hyperbole on Scoop, Tony.

Sorry I missed that in the Scoop Rulebook.

Back to Morsell, this recent interview with Turgeon mentions that he just had surgery (shoulder?) and wouldn't even be shooting a ball until July.  Since the NBA combine is in June, I'd suspect that the draft isn't what will determine his decision timeline.

Do you know for sure what happened then?

My beef was with the "like with everything".
