Quote from: BM1090 on January 18, 2026, 01:00:18 PMI'd like to keep Josh. If he develops he could be a really good piece in two years and we have 15 scholarship guys now. It's the low ceiling guys that I wouldn't mind leaving.

Correct. Absolutely need a good starting big from the portal but I'm fine with Josh staying on and continuing to develop. At least he has the length to be a rim protector in the future.

Quote from: 79Warrior on January 18, 2026, 01:32:35 PMDo we have a choice? We can't tell him who to play.

Yes. Just because we don't get to make lineup decisions doesn't mean we can't have discussions critical of those decisions.

I guess Josh doesn't practice hard enough.

Quote from: tower912 on January 18, 2026, 01:23:13 PMRight now.  7+ feet and bouncy is always worth a shot.  If he develops, you get McCaskill.  If it doesn't work out you get McMorrow or Mbao.

And he's already ahead of the latter two.

Wasn't super-surprised to not see Clark against DePaul but was quite surprised that Phillips didn't see any action. Was he hurt?

Is he bouncy? Seems a bit slow. Definitely a shot blocker potential but not seeing much hope otherwise.

At MU, Jim McIlvaine is considered bouncy.

At this point the answer should be "why not?"  I don't particularly care if we finish last or second to last in the conference.  At the very worst he gets in, is totally outmatched and appears clueless and uncoordinated on both offense and defense, and we give him 12+ minutes a game like Hamilton.

Josh clark and bounce was not the scouting report I was expecting.

The difference here is that McMorrow and Mbao played sparingly/never when it became apparent they weren't Big East players, and were quickly and politely shown the door.

I agree he should play. Cant be worse than Hamilton.

That said ... he's clearly not " bouncy "
And ( as one of the Tv guys said ) is about as strong as a blade of grass.

Shaka said he is taller than when he arrived.  Now 7'+ in bare feet, 7'2 in shoes.  245 lbs, which is up 30.  Roo. For 25 more.  Shaka also said that Josh is not a great practice player.

I love your optimism, Tower. But there is about a 0% chance he can become McCaskill - who was an NBA draft pick and played professionally both here and abroad for a dozen years.

tower912

And?  Most players don't.  Maybe he makes it Ooze level on offense and/or Otule on defense.   I look forward to the rest of his journey.

I hope his journey is short and sweet, he might be ready in 2 or 3 years but not now or next year. In the portal, Shaka needs to find a player who has a physical
Presence, to let Clark watch from the bench where he belongs!

Take him and Hamilton to the farm where Keeyan, wrightsil and Amadou went so they can run free and enjoy their lives in the fields of low major anonymity where they should've started.

Well, if he can't see a few of Ben's minutes on this team he might as well get the Shakaxe.

Markusquette
