This is another great signing by Shaka.  Let’s go!

Sounds like a recruit about to explode. A Shaka speciality.

If Phillips and Militec are the real deal we could have a dynamic duo shooting from beyond the arc like Markus/Rousey and Markus/Sam but without the hero ball ala Wojo. Looking forward to seeing if this plays out.

I am really enjoying how Shaka is putting together the team for the future. I was telling BC that is Shaka hits 50% with his recruits that the future looks very bright.

Future looks very bright with 5 freshman if he signs Stevens and 3 playable sophomores. I can see a lineup of Militec, Phillips, Hamilton, Owens and James, looks promising on paper.

Stevens can also shoot behind the arc - he has had multiple games in AAU with 3+ three pointers. Phillips, Militec, and Stevens on the court at the same time has me drooling and very excited for the future.

Stevens can also play PG if you really want to play a huge, switchable lineup in the future

To clarify, you mean inside the arc?

Behind the arc, aka outside the 3 point line.

He has 500 days or so to improve and I am sure Todd Smith and his coach will have him on some type of plan.  Talked to Bateman, and Iowa St has him on a program to improve. His best friend told me it was close, mentioned the NIL money was better at ISU. But they offered him a starting position, will see how that happens.

This guy may have the best looking shot we've recruited in a minute. And with that frame...I'm very very high on him.

read some stuff also mentioning his ability to guard...obviously needs to add muscle as most freshmen do...but could be a 3 and D guy from day 1 in the right situations.  shaka and company will develop him from there...

Fifteen guys on the roster is going to be interesting. In the NBA, guys will sit no problem bc they are getting a paycheck, but in college... man if you're not in the top eight rotation, you're going somewhere else. Gone are the days of Herb Harrison, who are content to ride the bench for four years. You're talking about half the team each year potentially transferring. I guess it will be survival of the fittest and you just have to be in the top eight. With 15 guys on the roster though, I'd expect three or four to transfer every year. Even with a high-retention coach like Shaka.

I generally would not carry 15 viable options on a roster; would imagine many programs wouldn’t (and in fact, many women’s teams have passed on filling their 15).

For me, we’d have scout team guys who are great students in the classroom & teachers on the court — probably 2-3 of em — who now get scholarships to fill the “walk on” role.

Excellent point.  This might not change anything other than giving scholarships to guys who previously were walk ons.  It’s not like every school will suddenly have rotation caliber guys taking those spots.

I know little about eligibility rules.  Would kids be more likely to get offers to enroll a year early and redshirt?  Get some NIL, access to top notch resources and staff, compete against top talent, and plan on being on campus for five years?

Sure. As long as they graduate high school, there is no reason they couldn't go that route. They could even pull a Joey and show up mid-year.

This is why obsessing if MU has enough NIL is not really worth the effort. I am sure that Shaka mentioned to Phillips that getting on campus earlier opens him up to such opportunities.

Everyone on MU's team is getting a paycheck and it is commesurate with what they're asked to do.  One thing I don't worry about  with Shaka is him recruiting 15 guys who all think they'll get starter minutes.  I think his best talent is managing payroll and managing expectations.

Yep. And if someone transfers, they transfer. Not the end of the world for either party.
