2025 Transfer Portal

[MU82]

Every Marquette player and coach sucks!

I know, because I'm the best Marquette fan here, and I want to win more than all y'all put together!

What are going do about it?
Continue to bitch all summer?

His grandson is the second ranked 6th grade recruit in Wisconsin. Guy knows ball. I trust him to build our roster over Shaka. At least make him the program's GM.

Do you want to win a National Championship or not?  If you're happy recruiting kids recruited by nobody that's fine.  Like the 4 kids he recruited coming in, now he has back that up. If you do not see areas that they need improvement, then you do not ball.  Grandson is going to start working with Travis to keep improving.

Wasn't the starting 5 of the team that just won the championship mostly unheralded recruits?

.                                         I probably love MU basketball more than you. Almost 60 years worth.  Sorry if I strive to see them attain more success than you seem satisfied with.  There are obvious weaknesses going into next year. I will root as always but will wish for more.

You should write a letter.

True - and I'm on record saying it's a waste of a scholarship.

I have never been so sure that he's going to be a star.

[BCHoopster]

They picked up a transfer who is a lottery pick, not sure I see a player on MU that will be a lottery pick next year

You know ball so I'm sure you saw Walter Clayton averaging 7 PPG at Iona and said, "Shaka needs to get this stud or he'll win Florida a title and be a lottery pick." I'm sure you saw Kolek as an NBA player when he finished his sophomore year here. Like I said, Shaka needs to make you the GM.

Tyler was freshman of the year in the A10, so he determined he could play up from George Mason, and did.  The player that was more of a great pick was Omax, no once saw that. Clayton there was college video to watch, he was being recruited by St. John's and Florida, both those coaches so something on film.

If Clayton is in the lottery, he will be a bust.

I think he'll end in the 20's.

Haugh was the real guy on that team.

I'm on record saying I will eat my column if Hamilton turns into anything with Marquette. I will add Clark to that list as well.

A player in 2025 with no major offers out of high school will never be a HM player.

Couple that with the fact he redshirted with our sorry front line this year and I've never been so sure about anything in my life.

[JTJ3]

Every team in the final four this year played guys who had zero HM offers out of high school

Allow me to amend - he had no offers aside from ut Arlington and Sam Houston state. Not even the lows were interested in him

If they "turn into anything at Marquette".

Who gets to be the judge of "anything"? You?

Nope - as stated in our last conversation, you can pick.

Being unaffected by the transfer portal directly and Dauster names us a top 10 portal loser? Without watching the video assuming the SJU adds, etc putting us behind is his reference. Still lame

Graduated an all American and two all conference performers on a team that flamed out in the second half of the season.  Replacements have minimal experience to pick up the slack. Completely reasonable take.

Of course the difference which you did not mention after being in the final 4 was that MU wasn't close. Shaka needs to step up to his big boy salary and get MU moving much closer to that destination. UConn, Slick Rick, Creighton, UW all highly ranked next year. MU nowhere to be found. As Tower would say, time to giddyup Shaka. Not the time to tie the horse to the post and sit in the bar talking about the glory days. Little tribute to the Boss there.

This should tell you something.

I love the yappy little dog energy.

Thank you

A competent big man moves gold to the wing and a back up point guard relegates Norman to mop up duty and allows Kam to play off the ball a bit more. 

More depth allows us compete more on the glass as well as more competent players. I'm not sure how you argue against this given our Wojo esque collapse in the second half of the season.

It's not going to happen, and you can't point to players that exist in the portal to actually make it happen.

Fantasyland.

Impossible because of Shaka's obsession with taking on completely unknown project bigs which limit roster mobility when the team needs help to raise their ceiling.
