Accurate, and there's reason for that. Marquette returned the third most minutes in the country from last year behind just Purdue and UConn. The theory of the RGV model is that continuous experience should prevent the need for rebuilding years and give a constant floor. Not panning out that way so far, but if continuity is as valuable as we've been told, it should prevent the need for rebuilding years.

Yes, especially when we've prob gotten a little bit more than projected from true frosh NJ & AS.

Let's get back on track. 6-5 seems very possible, 7-4 most likely, 8-3 a dream... but maybe I'll try to be a dreamer for now. Although 5-6 feels a lil more likely than 8-3 right now. #pray

There are 3 schools that have a current streak of more then 7 ncaa tournaments in a row.........Michigan Stae , Gonzaga and Purdue.........that's the list.

I don't think any model guarantees no rebuilding years........having a hall of fame coach who stays at your school forever seems to give you the best chance.

I don't think the issue is 'no rebuilding years'. I think what has people concerned is that this is the first true year of the Shaka model: no transfers, no Wojo recruits.

I still think the model is fine. The issue to me is that the talent/contributions in the sophomore and junior classes isn't there outside of Zaide. The Freshmen are ahead of schedule and the seniors are good enough.

Can't have a lot of misses with this model, and Hamilton, Owens, and Norman look like big ones right now.

Fully agree.

I guess if past season minutes determines wins we have second in the Big East wrapped up.

Yeah I think this is kind of the issue that he has to figure out......and I have faith he will
 You can afford to have misses......everybody does.......but when you redshirt guys....like AL Amadou.....Itjere....now Caedin and they are don't pan out that's a lot of development time and resources that end up being wasted.

Still time for Caedin but he needs to show it.

Two full classes with not much to show for is a pretty big chunk of the model so far. How long is the leash if the model fails to pay dividends in even the next couple of years?

Not excited about this year, they better turn it around quickly.  But next year might have issues as well.  I hope a couple of kids leave, so Shaka can find a true scorer.  Or the new freshman, Walker and Alex, are ready to step in right away that can score.  Transfers, portal Shaka does not know those words.

Willie's beloved, Brian Wardle and his Braves host Mass-Lowell tonight in a "get right" game for the floundering Bradley program.  It's getting late early for Brian.

George Washington and Chris Caputo host UMBC tonight.  👀

Chris Caputo should be mentioned in the "It's Time to Think Bald" topic, along with Herb Sendek and Mick Cronin.

Our next coach can be bald.  Just as long as they're not short or not white.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!  But things happen!

So strange, a thread that goes off topic on Scoop.

I'm not ready to write off both classes, but I do have to wonder if those classes are the "let's prove to kids we believe and live what we preach." You can already see it paying off with the freshman class and incoming class. The entire philosophy was uprooted, it takes a little time to prove to kids that MU is the place to play.
