2025-26 College Hoops Thread

Michigan...new coach (yr 2), utilizing all the recruiting tools available...it's only Nov., but F4 looking probable. Dusty May won't be confused with Helen Keller.

OK. Now please explain how the cellar dwellers in the major conferences, "utilizing all the recruiting tools available", have not achieved the same results.

I'll make it easier for you. Totally disregard Marquette because Shaka is the only coach not "utilizing all the recruiting tools available". That way you are comparing apples to apples without an anomaly messing up your explanation.

If Marquette was where Purdue and Michigan are or if Marquette finishes the season winless, nothing, nada, zip, zero would be proven regarding the use of the portal. I think it is a fair guess that you are not a statistician.

Onepost gave the name Sherlock Holmes after I busted him for trying to sneak in a major revision of one of his posts. Please humor me and use that name, because I really like it. You can call me Sherlock or Mr. Holmes. Either would be fine.   

Heading out for our Thanksgiving dinner soon. Are you going to your BIL's house for yours?

San Francisco and Gerlufsen lost.  Cross him off the list.

Shaka's Year 2 at Marquette absolutely sucked. We couldn't win any NC games, we were never ranked, we finished 9th in the Big East exactly as opposing coaches (and some of Scoop) predicted, we got crushed in the first round of the BE tournament.

Thanks to lawyers, the game has changed even since then, with unlimited transfers and revenue share, and Shaka is not utilizing that.

And, in that year, we got knocked out in the second round of the NCAA Tournament (and Dusty May led a 9 seed out of our bracket).

So? That has nothing to do with either Viper's post or my post.

But it did give you the opportunity to make yet another "Shaka sucks" post, so congrats!

Arkansas taking Duke to the wire.

Chicos did start MUPOOP as a response to the other bloggers piece on Wojo and hiring of Shaka

...bad at math. My IRA's and other investments look great of late...using all the tools to financial wins, but yeah, the Helen Keller of math.
