15 spots

I mean more so in terms of playing time than scholarships.

Yup.  And could see him being able to play up a position.  Not that he will be Jae Crowder or Lazar Hayward, but similar to that.

Interesting... I did not consider him playing up a position.

He's listed at 205, so I dunno if that tracks.

You can keep saying this, but the reality is that since Shaka arrived at Marquette MU has been an equal program to Creighton, been a far better program than SJU, and has been worse than UCONN.  UCONN has been the best program in the country since Shaka has arrived.

Not this year bud. And not next year. Now that is the real reality. Not the past.
Adapt or get further behind. That is the hill you seem to want to try to take. Maybe another year of middle of the pack will change your mind.

We got a higher seed than both UCONN and Creighton this year bud.

Lacks human orifice references as well

Also forgot to call him Shaka-Wojo-Dukiet-Winter.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Heard one talking head sports show guy today state that all 16 teams still left in the dance have paortal guys on the team

You either didn't hear this or are listening to someone who is misinformed

[MarquetteMike1977]

Feel our program is strong yet but for the first time in a few years not as certain about our our roster and win anyway philosophy.  Even after losing Oso and Tyler felt program was strong enough to overcome. Feel it is strong enough to over come yet but not as certain. Feel Losing Al and not getting Freeman does not help. But trusting The Program and Shaka since they got us to the Big Dance for four years in a row.

One of my AAU players has entered the portal (second time... did 2 years ago as well).

Let's talk po$$ibikities, schools!

It's Willie. That's all you need to know really.

Dad played at Marquette.  I believe we were the runner-up to UConn.  Would definitely fall into the "relationships" category.

Is there a spot for him though?  I assume Parham and Owens would already be ahead of him in his class.

What does his class have to do with anything? They play different positions. Those 3 could all easily fit on the floor together.

Not sure where he would fit.
With Ross, Lowery, Owens, Miletic, Stevens and Phillips, the team already goes three deep at the 2 and 3 spots.

He's definitely not a 2 and wouldn't have to be a 3.

In your first quote you say Abraham, Owens (a three, who could possibly play two in an emergency) and Parham (a four) play different positions. In the next, you say Abraham definitely isn't a 2.
So, you got him running the point or in the post?

Al was a great athlete with no basketball skills, no loss, a positive for opening up another scholarship

[TallTitan34]

I was considering Royce a 4, Owens a 3, and Abraham a 3 or 4.

You have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum so I expect you follow the team closely enough to know Shaka and the staff think Owens can be a PG.

Abrahams is a 6'7 200+lb forward, he's a 3 or a 4, not even remotely a 2, I think most would agree with that.

Like I said earlier, you could easily see these three on the floor together at the same time. Whether it's DO at 1/2 plus Royce and Abraham exchanging at 3/4

[Tha Hound]

I was considering Royce a 4, Owens a 3, and Abraham a 3 or 4.

Fair, I think DO is more versatile but I get it. I think shaka would love the size and versatility of all three playing together.

Carey Booth from Illinois is in the transfer portal. He was a former four-star star recruit and was ranked #82 overall in the 2023 class.

[Billy Hoyle]

Ryan Conwell from X is in the Portal. He and his 41% from three would look good Championship Blue:

You are thinking UNC?

[Billy Hoyle]

You are thinking UNC?

Yeah, what good would a 41% three-point shooter do for us when we could take a high school big man project with the upside of Dwight Burke instead?

Do those two players cost the same?

[ATL MU Warrior]

are we going to brag about how much money we can give a guy, or say we can't afford to get a guy? 

[Billy Hoyle]

Do those two players cost the same?

So we're going to become the Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates of CBB?

I support Shaka's emphasis on recruiting high school kids and developing them, but if you have a chance to get a proven performer to fill a hole, you do it. 11 of Michigan State's 13 players were recruited out of high school, but Izzo went out and got two grad transfers to fill holes in the roster, and they're in the Sweet 16.
