So is it just a coincidence that he announced a transfer immediately after Rod Strickland was named head coach, and then he transferred to Strickland's alma mater?

[We R Final Four]

Yes.

Add him to the list of guys Shaka definitely did not want

He knew he couldn't hack it in the Big East

I think he would rather play more than 15 mpg.

There has to be a conspiracy theory

The ghost of Ray Meyer is to blame.

"Conspiracy" is a bit of an over-statement.

You think? I enjoy, Q

Sure, but "culture" is going to wear thin real fast.  Marquette should be getting players that want to win, and are at least good enough to be be paid professionals in the near future.  Sticking around for 3 years because you like being around Shaka so much shouldn't be a criteria.

Hah, not sure what that has to do with my post you quoted from April!

It was the whole starter to the conversation of why Bates wouldn't be targeted at Marquette. Not from just you, but that's where it seemed to originate. I could be wrong on where the conversation started but it seems many of us were correct in that Bates doesn't care about winning 1st and isn't a culture fit for the program.

Ok fair enough.  But I think your scoop-foo needs work.  I think it started here:

I don't think I've ever commented specifically on Bates, and my comments were all about talent (not specific to Bates).

This is in reference to Emoni Bates, not Manny Bates.

Emoni was the one people thought Shaka should recruit because he was a former #1 Prospect. Just was clear to me that he isn't in it to win. He's there to advance and collect a paycheck and now obviously has other issues.

No one actually said this though.  There were just people scoffing at the idea that the only reason MU didn't reach out to Bates was because of "cultural fit".

Whoops, my foo needs help too, but then here's the actual start, lol

Apparently, his story is he borrowed a friend's car, and the gun was already there, unbeknownst to him. My question is, did Memphis take back all of the gifts they gave him to go there?

Memphis took back everything except the unregistered fire arm they gave him.

Emoni Bates reinstated to full status at EMU after felony charges dropped.   

Pled down to a misdemeanor.   Community service, mentor program.

Our old friend Jose Perez entered the Portal today after Steve Masillo was replaced two weeks before the start of the season. Perez was named preseason player of the year for the MAAC. Reportedly 6-7 players could be entering the Portal after the decision.
