I'm in the "I trust Shaka" camp. If he goes after and lands a transfer -- be it a wing to actually replace O-Max or a backup big -- I'll just figure Shaka believes the player will be the right fit for next season's team. If not, I'll accept that Shaka believes next season's team can be a legit contender as is.

Either way, I see no reason for any of the optimists here to lower our expectations.

The important question is, are we cheering for OMax to be successful post-Marquette?  I need to know in advance

There are a couple in the portal that are interesting, but do you want to shake things up? Still would be fine with a limited minutes big as an add

Nope, I think we have our squad. I’ve seen nothing to suggest Shaka is poking around the portal

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Book your tee times for Scottsdale now

I am.  I like occasionally being right with an early prediction.

Handy flow chart:

Did he compete at another college post MU?
|                         \
Yes                       No
|                            \
|                           You can cheer for him!!
|
Was his transfer due to a letter-writing campaign?
|                         \
Yes                       No
|                            \
|                           Sorry, you cannot cheer for him.
|
Is the player white?
|                         \
Yes                       No
|                            \
|                           Sorry, you cannot cheer for him.

Good luck to OMax.  Hoping there are many more early entrants to come in the upcoming years

Dream transfers: one of Burton, Phillips, Nkamhoua, Kaluma, or Nelson (in that order)

Backup bigs: Bandaogo, Yetna, Pal, Gordon, Miranda, Etienne

Under the radar guys: Supreme Cook, Jalon Moore

Nigel Burris really intrigues me as a long term addition.  Same with Anthony Dell'Orso.

You might be right, but how do you know if he's poking around or not? Two years ago, did you see anything to suggest that Shaka was about to land O-Max from the portal?

It is hard to imagine that Shaka would keep 2 open scholarships open next year.  I would hope there is one kid that wants to play in his system.

It has been reported that OMax snubbed a Barb high five. It was obviously intentional.

It's the Vander Bluification of Marquette, and I'm not happy to see it unfold.

That's really really high for Burton.

I could see 3rd. He should be behind  the Tennessee guys.

I have him 5th, below Kaluma and also.. David Jones, but Jones is that sleep guy.

Bandaogo is already at Cinci.

Good for O-Max and ultimately good for Shaka/Marquette. Win, win.

Congrats, hope O-Max moves into round 1.

Yes.  But we still need an immediate counter Lenny to mitigate this loss.  We have a prime-time opportunity this season to inflict damage, a.k.a. making a run to a F4 and our 2nd chip.  We must find a glass cleaner and more importantly a 6'6+ guy that can guard multiple positions and fill this void.  Offensively we're fine but get a high octane guy on the defensive end that can lead us to the promised land.

We're not going to find a glass cleaner AND a wing defender.  I'd be shocked if that occurred.

Be happy if Shaka decides and is able to add either of those types of guys considering his approach to the portal/NIL.

Rothstein makes it easy to poke fun at times, but this Tweet had me all giddy and excited.

"A year ago, Marquette lost Justin Lewis and Darryl Morsell.

The Golden Eagles were better.

Today, they lost Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Enter David Joplin.

Shaka Smart's squad remains SIXTH in the ROTHSTEIN 45."
