Here’s my bold and probably unpopular take: keeping JL is more important than DG

If JL stays 3 - 4 years, absolutely.

I don't think that's bold or unpopular. Dawson is almost a guarantee to go pro after next season. JLew likely a 4 year guy.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Today's AZ Star refers to Garcia as an "Marquette transfer"  who has been in contact with Arizona as well as many named others. Makes it sound like a "done deal". Does anyone have other info?

Without Garcia, I’m expecting close to that. Maybe 13 and 8 with plenty of Double Doubles. If he can stay out of foul trouble, he could be even better. Hopefully he plays good enough defense and is injury free so he can put up big numbers. The ceiling is high for J Lew.
Without García it will be easier for teams guard JFL, might not reach those numbers.
Goal is National Championship

They're both two year guys, but Justin is gonna be the one drafted.

All the smoke around Garcia for awhile made it sound like he was leaving. My only hope was the July 1 would come and go. Now that he's in the portal, I think he's as good as gone.

Too bad, the thing he most needs to play in the NBA is a coach that prepares bigs to play NBA defense and I'm not sure there's a better one than Shaka. Come draft night, he'll likely have 6 players 6'9" or taller drafted in the last 5 years. I'm not sure anyone has a better track record in that time.

Morsell coming and no Dawson is where I would set your expectations.
And I’m just telling you what is going to happen.

Reread your own posts. If you had stated your first post as your own opinion/expectation rather than where you "would set (my) expectations", no problem. Now you are taking the "Wojo will definitely be our coach this coming season" approach. Although I do not expect Garcia to return, if he does, I'll send you a recipe for crow.

Apparently you think Justin is going to take one hell of a leap this season.

Before he got hurt he very much had the attention of NBA people. Doesn't need that much of a leap. If he's healthy and his conditioning is on point, he's gonna get drafted.

Shaka is saying all the right things publicly, meanwhile his team is grinding their tails off on N 12th.

Well, if we will hold it against players when they test the NBA waters, I sure hope that Shaka totally avoids 5 star and the top rated 4 stars players, so we don't have to deal with that kind of lack of commitment ever again.

It frightens me to imagine what a Wojo-led team would have been next year, especially without Dawson or DJ returning.

Strange as it may seem, Wojo returning may have been the key to keeping Dawson and DJ on board.  DJ seemed to be on board (even tweeting pro MU stuff) until he had some time with Shaka on campus.  DJ might not have liked what Shaka had to say about his game.

were gonna suck next year. accept it ppl. it happens with coaching changes. glad to have shaka

We'll suck a lot less than after the last two coaching changes when Crean and Buzz left along with pretty much all their recruiting classes.

Contrarian theory would be that Morsell might be choosing MU because Garcia is leaving?

That would be the contrary to logic theory.

This seems like a reach.

DJ's odds of staying increased with Shaka

We will never know. But I think many have strong doubts about that prediction.  DJ was rumored to leave last year if he wasn't given a waiver.  He very much was always going to be a one and done, and his camp made that known.  Many predicted Dawson to be here two years, three max.  Dawson still goes through the draft process if Wojo is still here (and still has one foot out the door).

In either case, it is highly probable that neither Dawson or DJ were returning next year - with Shaka or with Wojo.

I've heard the same. Seems like someone got in his ear, similar to Vander back in the day.

I think he can get there. I don't think he gets there this season but I hope he does!

Justin is going to have to dramatically improve his game from 15 feet out to get serious attention from NBA people.

I think DG would benefit from stating at MU quite a bit.  Shaka has coached several good bigs and he's got a ways to go to play at the NBA level.  Just my opinion.
