Hoosier beat down

[Billy Hoyle]

Billy Hoyle was a big Wojo guy.  It's laughable he is even mentioning the word mediocrity around our program with Shaka at the helm.

I was? I don't seem to remember that.

Well you see, if you ever expressed that MU was not in a good financial position to fire wojo, you were a "big wojo guy".  In fact, if you ever said anything other than "fire wojo now", you were a big wojo guy.

But, it's not like Ners logic ever makes sense.

Depends on how and when they are used and the impact on the current roster or any commitments.

People talk about the portal like it exists in a vacuum. That's not how it works.

Who are these people?

[Markusquette]

Thanks! It turns out that we are mostly in agreement.

But no thanks to you for reminding me about Chartouny. I remember one game in particular where he was on the perimeter while teammates scurried around in the paint, briefly getting open. Until, that is, Chartouny stared right at the guy and the defender was on him like duct tape. The only thing he did not do was point at the guy to alert him that he was going to pass to him.    

You should watch this 3 minute long mixtape so you are reminded of all of the good memories

You, for starters.

Anyone that complains about not using the portal never acknowledges the potential downsides and risk.

Thanks! I really enjoyed it. We all have some times when we look bad, so this is a well-deserved redemption, mixtape or not.

Got it - no doubt is there potential for the portal route to not work out. I've argued for the benefits since two of Shaka's best players were portal acquisitions (albeit pre-NIL) in Kolek and O-Max. As we know, portal additions like Joe Chartouny come along as well.

Being entirely closed off is what concerns me long-term. Love Shaka, admire his philosophy, but will scrutinize it even more if the next couple of years are rougher. As some others have reminded, this is his first full year with only his guys.

And Pérez and others....

We've moved from the IU game to transfers v. roster continuity to Wojo to failed recruits.

Something entirely new in scoopville.

Have they fired Shaka yet and hired Wardle?

Hopefully, he gets Diener as an assistant with Chapman and Kojis

Are injuries somehow unique to transfers?

He wasn't really working out prior.
