and it's already time to start James, Jr. over Jones.

Shaka won't do it. Probably feels it's disrespectful to Sean

Considering how hard Sean worked to get back from his injury, I can see that, but even before that, he wasn't a BE starting caliber PG.

Marquette's continuity roster got its ass kicked by Indiana's portal roster. 

yes...and that is what's so frustrating. IU with coaching staff and roster turnover drops 100 on MU. Wojo could recruit. Coach it? Not so much...which was really perplexing considering his background. Shaka can definitely coach it...but recruit it? Gotta have players. MU will improve, but how much?

I remain optimistic.

Are you sure about this?  I agree Wojo could recruit.  Uncertain if Shaka can coach.  What makes us think that?  When coaching matters most, late in the conference season and in the postseason, Marquette has been at its worst under Shaka.

Hmmmm...

Hmmmm...

If you are disagreeing with me, I feel pretty f-ing good.

Good song

Agreed, he is not even a point guard, was a scoring guard in high school, probably in high school he got to the hoop easily, different world in college.
You got to look at the bright side, can not play much worse!

God shuffled his feet.

But it wasn't called.

not primarily his guys, but the BE conference title and BE tournament championship with MU, and his F4 at VCU give me a lean toward he can coach. And, maybe his MU results have exceeded the talent he's recruited. But, today was harsh...and the fact what would be considered key guys don't seem to have improved that much YOY. (Owens, Parnham) This team is better than today. BUT, how much better?
