All they money they saved on milkshakes this year they can pay a big next year.

Quote from: BCHoopster on March 08, 2025, 02:24:32 PMHow good a recruiter is Shaka?  Clark,  Amadou, Hamilton barely were recruited by top 50 programs.  Norman was was just bad evaluation, that happens.  His style of not recruiting kids with a mid range jump shot is ridiculous.  Even UWM had a good player with a midrange shot.  If your style is shooting 3's then recruit kids that can shoot, hopefully they will have some next year!

That Shaka hasn't already signed your grandson proves that he's the worst recruiter in the country. Given his horsesh!t results at Marquette so far, I can't believe he still has a job.

I'm a little surprised Caedin didn't play a few mins today. 

Zog from Margo

Quote from: CountryRoads on March 08, 2025, 03:01:10 PMWojo was a good recruiter. Maybe a hot take, but his return to college hoops might go a lot better than people around here would think.

Wojo wasn't that good of a recruiter because he never had a vision of how he wanted to play. As a result, his recruiting was random. By contrast, it's pretty clear that Shaka looks for certain attributes that will fit how he wants to play. Wojo also was just a poor coach, as evidenced by the perennially bad defense. There's a reason Coach K wanted to get him out of the Duke successor discussion and the hiring of Scheyer proved it had nothing to do with getting HC experience.

One of our biggest problems, and I've been saying this all season is moving the rock once we've punched the paint.  Kam has generally done a good job with this, but Stevie, Chase, and Jop really have issues with this skill set.  And they should frankly be much better than they are as experienced players.  I mean it's essentially straight downhill driving without any clue where the help is coming or what they actually want to do other than get all the way to the hoop.  Drives me freaking crazy because it's basketball 101.

I respect that take. He got some ballers here (including some we still have) but we looked different every year. I don't believe your last sentence though. I think the plan was for Wojo to go get some experience and then come home to Duke when K retired. The optics just were too bad to hire a coach that was fired though. Better to go with the unknown I guess.

I also have some suggestions for Shaka
1. Recruit some down low bangers
2. Recruit some consistent 3 point shooters--several
3. Recruit guys that can shoot 80% plus on FTs
4. Start improving the team to justify your big salary.
5. Play better in March
6. Use the portal to improve your roster. Lots of other coaches are, including Slick Rick.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

Quote from: wadesworld on March 08, 2025, 02:13:34 PMI have a suggestion for Muggsy. Maybe consolidate some ideas into single threads. Not every sentence that pops into your head needs its own thread.

And maybe find another source of joy in your life besides Marquette basketball. If you can't handle regular season losses, find a hobby.

I have plenty of hobbies.  Perhaps you should cease from being a troll and an ass towards MU fans.

Im old enough to remember when some people thought Ed Morrow was the answer to all our " we need an enforcer " problems.........

Although we will always have that block on Ethan Happ to keep.us warm at night........god bless you Ed.....

I think you should make the suggestion to Shaka.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

If Shaka truly believed in constant learning and growth he would hold town halls to offer fans the opportunity to share their recommendations.
