2026 Transfer Portal Wishlist

This exact scenario has happened to a degree already and Shaka has acknowledged it. He will commit to guys who are here over guys who had the chance to be.

So it had nothing to do with holding a grudge and everything to do with being committed to the players in the program. Huh.

Shaka committing to bad players is what has him in this situation. To continue to commit to those bad players when your former targets (some of which are actually good) become available a second time, is just stupid.

If you think he will re-recruit a guy like Oswin that has turned him down once before, then I don't think we are watching and listening to the same coach.

If Shaka goes portaling, more likely he'll grab someone he already has formed a relationship with.

Exactly. GE makes up wild things in his head like Shaka is a "grudge guy." Weird stuff.

Well in the case you keep referencing we'd be even worse right now if he had brought the transfer in.  Nigel never wouldve gotten the opportunity he's had this year.

If someone like Oswin wanted to come here, Shaka would certainly look into it.

You think we would be worse if we had another guard in the mix with Nigel and Adrien in the backcourt?

I'm not sure you understand what "grudge" means.

To me, his stubborn and competitive personality seems likes it's one that would hold a grudge towards guys he previously recruited that chose to go elsewhere.

Whether you see it that way or not is up to you, but the end result remains the same. Good players that are available in the portal are glossed over by Marquette in the end.
