We need to get there. But it's totally doable.  It starts with a dominant big in the portal imo. 

Agree. I'll settle for bigs that have at least one other D1 offer.

Can MU get back to the level of UCONN and SJU ?  Idk ... maybe

Right now MU is way ... WAY behind them.
Other than James, do we have one guy that would see the floor for either of those teams ?  I'd say No.

The way Shaka has tanked the program in a year and a half is unbelievable.

Our strategy has to change and I do think Shaka will pivot.  We have Nigel and 4 additional keepers.  I definitely like the potential of our Frosh.  But, it's a moral imperative to get a badass big and a deadeye 6'4 or more sniper.  I've said this for some time, so hopefully my thoughts move us in the right direction.

Uconns bench had 6 points. Ross and Parham would get significant mins of the bench for both.

Which dominant big men helped us get the best of UConn and St. John's in 2023?

Oso was pretty damn good.  Well...until the dance.

I don't think he's the kind of "dominant big" most here yearn for. It's Shaq Or Bust round these parts.

Fair point.  I'd like total dominance ...meaning a Shaq with Curry's handles and J.  But another Oso would suffice.  We cannot under any circumstances field another roster with two project 5's.
