Quote from: mileskishnish72 on December 24, 2025, 12:10:22 PMThere is no sign that the next 18 games are going to show us anything different from what we've seen thus far - and that is BAD. I'm in the camp that Shaka has earned some leeway by virtue of his results over 4 years (or, as some say, 3 and a half). This season, barring a miracle, is just a lost cause. This team is so sadly awful that I don't think Shaka deserves
"another year." I think he's is going to have to show what he's got this Spring - if he doesn't clear out the deadwood who have failed to grow and fill some needs with available quality players in the portal, then why wait to suffer through another year like this?

There will be those who will say that this goes against everything that Shaka has said and would be torpedoing his "relationships" schtick. He is a basketball coach and his job is to assemble a quality team and win basketball games. It's not rocket science. And, unlike Sean's mom, I think a coach should be judged by wins and losses.

I think you're being fair.  The only thing I will say is Nigel and Adrien seem to have the potential to deliver the goods.  It's their development over the next 18 games that could give us some renewed hope.

You have to remember that while they look good to us, they also appear good to other coaches willing to spend money.

This will be the other test of the RGV method.  If money comes for Nigel or Adrien this off season then the method is even more dead.

I think the jury has come back and deemed RGV unrealistic for modern college basketball, but we shall see if Shaka sees it that way.  And if he doesn't, well...

It's not only money we have to worry about. I'm sure Nigel James would like to compete, which at this point, Marquette cannot offer.

Yep, some interesting family conversations occurred over Christmas Day.  Hopefully Shaka keep the best and the other leave on their own accord.  Hit the porta in the offseason and BAM!, we're back baby!!!
