Listening to Norlander's podcast today, and his guest mentioned that at Nike EYBL this weekend, it was heavily rumored that Sheek is heading to MU this year. Seems like that redshirt is on the way.

I agree.  And I think this team has as much talent.  The question is how soon it all fits together.

I guess my point was just making the tournament with a bunch of question marks does not equal or surpass winning the Big East title....winning the BET....and earning a 2 seed with a bunch of question marks.

How soon media guys forget what Shaka did with a team that was picked to finish 9th in the conference.

He had 4 NBA draft picks on that team, i think you mean EASIEST coaching job. Year 1 was the best by my rubric, but I'm open to other arguements.

Coming into that season he had no projected draft picks.....the fact that they ended up being really good doesn't change the fact that before that season nobody expected them to make the tournament.......much less win the Big East.

Kolek told Shaka they needed to get a big guy in the portal.......even he didn't know Oso was ready......but Shaka did.

Let's put it another way.......Shaka didn't win coach of the year in year 1.......and if they finish 4th and sneak into the tournament this year he won't win it either.

He was the AP National coach of the year in 2022-23.......Not just the Big East coach of the year which he also won.

While true, were you predicting that prior to that season?

Agree. I'm a bit irrationally high on this team at the moment. Good combo of talent (mostly unrealized) and a chip on their shoulder.

I was just being facetious, mostly, about those 4 NBA picks they were all there year 1 as well (underperformance? jk). Year 1 I was just hoping they'd find a way to sneak into the tournament. Year 2, I was also just hoping they'd find a way to sneak into the tournament. I do think assembling that talent year 1 and getting it rocking and rolling in year 2 are near ties imo as far as quality of coaching jobs go.

Unless Marquette wins the Big East this season, Year 2 will have been Shaka's best coaching job. Obviously.

That team was picked to finish NINTH (eff 'em) but went on to win the Big East title double-dip. And Shaka did it by developing players - none of whom had been close to being 5-star recruits - to play far better than they had been expected to play.

Not many people know this, but Willie was actually the first mascot back in 1893 when Marquette's nickname was the Inquisition and he dressed up as Torquemada and would set Lutherans in attendance on fire.  But that was before woke fire codes

He still has the same sunny disposition.

Chicken or the egg argument would be they had the talent to be NBA players before Shaka developed it.  The more important concern is that Shaka has the same luck/expertise with talent evaluation this time around.  If he doesn't hit on 4 NBA players with this group, the next three years might not be as fun as the last three.  We will see.  Tower thinks so. Barnes hopes so.  I hope they are both right.

Because they were racist.  I'm well aware racism is ok in modern America and that's why there is a move towards trying to bring those racist mascots back.  Heck, we're back to celebrating traitorous Americans who fought to keep slavery.

What'll probably happen is, those racist mascots won't be brought back but Fox News will be able to use that as red meat for their racist audience members.

Why are we even playing sports if we can't celebrate the reminders of the past that we kinda sucked as people (e.g. "heritage")
