Sean coming soon?

[THRILLHO]

I've been interpreting Shaka's comments as if not when but maybe Sean's decision making is also about whether he thinks he's far enough back to actually push for minutes.

[rocky_warrior]

This has been the question all along.  Junior Cadougan, Greg Elliott.  Junior came back, played very little, had no impact, and wasted a year of eligibility.  Greg was able to return, didn't, and that team wore out at the end of the season.

So... Transfer then

Doesn't look like it will be tonight, based on warmups.

I thought Sean would play this week. I wonder if a redshirt is better for all concerned at this point?

I would say it is definitely not better for this year's team. They could use another playmaker.

May be better for Sean and the future though. Guess we will see what he decides!

Coming back next year- https://x.com/MarquetteMBB/status/1876297997497086337

Definitely what's best for Sean.  And honestly, while it would be a boost to this year's team, we don't know how effective he would have really been after such a long layoff and a serious surgery. 

[tower912]

Heal completely, young man.  Kick butt next season.

[Its DJOver]

Completely understandable decision. Look forward to seeing him next fall.

[JTJ3]

As much as Id love to see him help off the bench this year, this is the best choice for him long term so kudos to him for making this decision.

Very excited to have him back next fall and for two full years instead of wasting a year this season when he isnt comfortable yet.

[GoldenEagles03]

When is the last time a Marquette team had 3 redshirts?

Clark, Al, and Sean. A Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior.

[Pepe Sylvia]

Seems prudent to me. I would have had that plan the entire offseason, but I wouldn't question the way these young men choose to use their limited eligibility, had the decision gone differently.

The timing and severity of the injury made me skeptical he would return and be effective this season.   It would have been nice, but this is not a surprise.

[#UnleashSean]

I do not expect Sean to play.  It is not in his interest to rush back.  The exception being a rash of injuries to others and he is judged to be fully healed.  Heal fully, young man.

A lot of what tower said here has been accurate.

[CountryRoads]

Two more full years of Sean? Sign me up for that. It's encouraging that Shaka has said he already looks good in practice. We'll definitely need him next year. In the meantime, he will continue being a great leader and teammate off the floor. Glad they announced this and that it is out of the way now.

Reminds me of an old adage in sales, "'Yes' is the best answer; 'No' is the second best answer."

While I would have loved to have had Sean back this season, I prefer this "No" to thinking "maybe" before each game.

Looking forward to having him on the floor next fall.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Totally understandable. If he came back and got reinjured, then he burns an entire year of eligibility for nothing.

Bryce Hopkins came back too early for Providence, played 3 games, and now he's out again. Sean could have had a similar fate.

Yep. I'm familiar with the adage, and it is very true.

Yes.  Although Providence fans think a larger conspiracy is afoot.

Afoot? I thought it was aknee.

Bravo

Another where Jay Bee can correct me, but if Sean played tomorrow, he would be ineligible for a medical redshirt/waiver, no matter what happened.

The rule is an injury has to occur in the first half of the season with 30% or less of games played. Tomorrow is game 16/31, which means even if Sean played one minute and suffered a completely new injury, he would be ineligible for the medical waiver.

If he came back in the Creighton game, got injured, tried to tough it out through the next 9 games, and then shut it down, he would've been eligible, but because tomorrow is game 16, that's it.

This is the best decision.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah with the big holiday break

I think providence was pretty much the now or never comeback game.

SJ clearly wasn't feeling confident enough in his recovery with the knee for game action. This is best overall.

The way having his ball handling to help Kam doesn't outweigh having an unconfident player working to game speed to even be able to provide that help.

And now we just keep letting DO, Zaide and hopefully Tre develop this year

[MuMark]

Entirely too much levelheadedness in this thread today........come on scoop......step it up!

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Coming back next year- https://x.com/MarquetteMBB/status/1876297997497086337

This is a good decision.
