One thing is clear- Shaka plays by one set of rules, Shakas.

For example, when TyKo, Kam, and Oso leave after this season, and after dominating the BE yet again and making a great run in the NCAAT to the final 4, Shaka has the guys in their place.
 
Trust the guy until you can’t, that’s the motto. Or just trust him until he wins, and then trust him forever

Yep. I get that many here are worried that Shaka did not take advantage of the portal and, this coming season, their fears may be justified. This is an opinion board after all. I think Shaka follows the beat of a different drummer and so far, he has exceeded my expectations Big Time. He has a laser -like focus. I'm happy watching his long-term plan unfold.

Yeah, it's pretty tough for me to look at what Shaka has done so far at Marquette and say, "Yeah, but now he's wrong."

Like many here, I do wish he'd have been able to find a Jayce Johnson type who would have been content to play 5 minutes one game, 20 the next and 14 the next while demanding little NIL money. But I'm also realistic enough to know that few players would be willing to accept such a role.

I do not think Shaka wants anyone who will mess with team chemistry.

So how does Shaka know if someone will fit in if they don't join and team? Does he just wait till all the players now on the team
graduate and then recruit a whole new group of guys?

I'm guessing this is a joke, right?

We all talk about this as if it was a one way street.

People are debating this on the assumption that Shaka did not want to add any impact transfers. That assumption is fairly based on reading between the lines of Shaka’s words in past interviews. But it is still an assumption. Do we know it to be 100% true?

Shaka has played his cards close to his vest so far. Isn’t it possible that Shaka looked but couldn’t find an “impact transfer” that wanted to come to Marquette for any of a variety of reasons (e.g. NIL, lack of promised playing time, not being “the man”).

Despite the fantasies of the neighbors to the west, this is not a Badger black and white world we live in, where recruits either are committed to UW or UW cooled on them. There are a lot of different possibilities that exist.

Given Shaka’s past track record with transfers, I find it much more likely that he did explore the transfer market for an impact player but was fortunate enough to be highly selective, and of those that met the criteria needed, perhaps interest in transferring to MU was simply not there (again for a variety of reasons).

I highly doubt Shaka didn’t look at and explore all options. He’s not gotten this far with this much success without being ready for every contingency. To say simply that he didn’t want to add a transfer because we don’t have one added seems, to me, awfully simplistic.

I agree with this.

Tre Mitchel 6'9 240lb F from WVU into the portal... supposedly UK bound.

We had 4ish targets in March/April. They went elsewhere. Makes sense because we have virtually zero minutes for them.

End of story.

I might be the only guy that still believes there will be an addition to the team. That being said, Shaka is running out of time.

If there is. It is one of two players.

One a center who might be more of a 2024 post grad recruit. The other is a foreign born player.

I don’t think either really help this years team team besides injury cover.

Generally, the really good players in the portal are looking for NIL money. Taking money away from current players to fund a new player is not going to be good for team chemistry..

Kerr Kriisa also in the portal, and I wouldn't doubt if most of the team now follows.

F*ck! Next man up. Somebody is going to have to step in and fill those minutes.

Seriously, though...good luck to Caleb. I hope he finds a good situation and some sweet, sweet NIL money.
