Bankrupt upfront

Take the redshirt off Pearson.

I don't need to see the Clark experiment play out.

Shaka got a reputation for developing raw bigs, but those (Sanders, Allen, Haynes, Kai Jones, Oso) were super athletic. The bigs he's recruited to MU are just the opposite. Gold is at best an OK athlete. Hamilton and Clark are plodding out there.

He hasn't proven he can recruit a big when the brand name of Texas isn't enough. Could say that for about 80% of the backcourt recruits too though

I for one cannot make any criticism of Hamilton.  He was an unheralded, nobody Shaka recruit, who redshirted for his culture year at MU and now is entering his third year as the starting center for a Big East team. Good for him, he is doing the best of his ability.  The problem is that he is Shaka's center, his recruit, who he developed and retained in his system. Shaka kept him in the program and did not look to replace him. Clark is identical in his development/background and see how it works out.

Hopefully both work out and don't end up like Al Amadou, who was on the same path as both. He transferred to St. Joes and is at the end of the bench with the team managers.

Culture year is such a crock of sh!t.

What's a culture year?

[CountryRoads]

Take the redshirt off Pearson.

That would look ridiculous to be at the bottom of the conference with 3 redshirts sitting out.

[nyg]

What's a culture year?

Where the player assimilates with the players, coaches, system, etc. Redshirting adds an additional year for that. Guess a bad terminology on my part, but as you know culture is at top of Shaka's priority list.

Feeling an established culture but it's surely not what they had in mind

Who among them would be helpful?

You might have just summed up the problem with Shaka

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Take the redshirt off Pearson.

This makes zero sense.

You're a little baby, huh.

[GB Warrior]

Buddy, we're recruiting players that aren't good enough to play. By the program's own admission. Now I don't understand modern basketball finances but that generally isn't where I'm pouring my resources unless I'm more about keeping the floor high (lol) and chasing the once-in-a-blue-moon home run swing

Dude. Get off the ledge. We might have a down year. I'll take 1 down year out of 5. And Shaka massively overachieved Years 1,2 and 3.

Some MU fans need to relax and chill out. I for sure am not throwing in the towel on this team/season despite the slow start.

Like I said, you're a little baby.

I'm upset and as disappointed as anyone by this early showing. Shaka and staff have also earned the benefit of the doubt to fix what's wrong and adjust.

And saying to burn Sheek's redshirt as well as the others is so beyond stupid it's not even worth a discussion.

Or Hamilton. These are end of the bench guys.
