You are way more optimistic than me. I don’t think we have much of a chance.

I don't either. But it is what it is.

Well, he's withdrawn from the draft.


That’ll leave every GM scrambling.

Seems like Shaka's putting it out that defense will be stressed isn't designed to keep Dawson in the fold. Too bad if he leaves because that's one of the areas in which he needs to improve.

Effort on defense is the only part of the game that can be controlled.  And after the last seven years of matador-like defense, anyone on the team who does not buy in to what Shaka is trying to do should leave, imo.  It will be better for everyone.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Marquette beat UNC in the 1977 title game, therefore, we have no need for a guy who wants to play there

General comment is he has to go where he feels comfortable, both with the coach and the system.

It is very possible Mr. Garcia doesn't completely buy into Coach Shaka's system, approach and what Coach Shaka wants for him in the coming year.

If he doesn't, he needs to leave. If he does, he'll stay. It's that simple.

Either way, don't count on him anywhere for much more than a year.

Looking at the Illinois boards and twitter, UNC has put out there that Dawson will make $1M in endorsements.

Let’s get serious, it’s not about fit, it’s about the $$$. 

Welcome to the new college basketball where it’s now legal to buy the best team.

Welcome to 10-13 super-teams and every other teams pretty much playing exhibition games that don’t matter.

I'm not so sure super teams are the way to success.  13 one-and-done players who have endorsement distractions doesn't seem ideal for continued success.

If you look at the NIL as a problem instead of an opportunity, you're a loser.

Marquette plays in a major conference, plays in a top 40 market, has a substantial fan base in a  top 3 market, has name/brand recognition, has a nationally known, charismatic head coach, and consistently ranks in the top 20 for attendance.
If MU can't succeed in the NIL era, it won't be because of any inherent disadvantages.

The biggest inherent disadvantage is the size of the alumni base.  Sure, Marquette has a lot of positive things going for us, but the numbers game doesn't bode well.  Madison has, what, 30k undergrads?  We're a third of that.
