I've changed my mind

[rocky_warrior]

when did he say he won't tell anyone to leave

I'm saying he won't tell anyone to leave.  The wardrobe choices are confirming what I'm saying.  But, believe what you want.

Why did Itejere, Ellis and Amadou leave?

If you want to be skeptical, that's fine.

I just have a very hard time believing the program would make a very intentional decision to share the change in approach knowing it would be broadcast live during a game.

Also, at minimum, I can't imagine Sean coming back to ride the bench.

Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

That is a dream of mine in relation to this!

[Mu8891]

I'm w / Rocky.  I don't believe he will tell anyone to leave.  He won't ...

That will leave them w / two spots
( Zaide, and Sean graduating ).

And that's not enough

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Yes I did but Shaka has no choice.  If he doesn't cut some and add via the portal he won't survive at MU.  I think we have a forgiving fan base but no one will tolerate a repeat of this year.

What he needs to add is a Sports Therapist. Something is mentally affecting the whole team.

Isn't that guy named Russ a therapist of sorts? I don't know his last name but I remember Shaka saying he works on the mental side of things with the team.

Shaka thinks he's that guy

Seriously.  There are multiple departures happening that are pretty obvious.

[DenverEagle]

Maybe I am too simplistic in my thinking - if most all the players are on one year NIL deals why not just reduce the offer to a Tre or Caedin to nothing or just enough to pay their own tuition if they stay and push them down the bench? In essence take the spot of a walk on or two allowing the team to honor the commitment to the kid they recruited but then just not play them like they do the walk ons. In other words, if you've got to make roster space for portal transfers in, why not push off the walk ons. Couldn't have happened prior to NIL but couldn't the team just pay two or three guys enough that they could pay their own tuition bill?

[Biggie Clausen]

Serious question: Can we really expect any portal additions next year to be *that* much better than Ross and Gold?  If we found out we were adding a 6'4 slasher who averaged 14.5ppg and a 6'11 big who averaged 8 and 6 and could step out and hit the occasional three pointer, we'd probably be ecstatic.  I'm not saying it's impossible, but without dropping a bag, I'm not sure how much of an upgrade we can expect from those two.

I'll bet you a years MUScoop subscription Sean, Tre, Caedin, Josh and Damarius will be back for next season.

If that happens I will not be renewing my season tickets.

Fortunately, the MUScoop renewal fees are quite reasonable.

Clinching that sleeve was certainly a choice!

I'll double down on that and and say that at least 2 will be gone whether by their choice and/or with a nudge.

Put me down for 2 departures, minimum, from that group

...you mean there will be a paywall coming for Scoop? Say it ain't so, Rocky.

[MuggsyB]

So, is your contention that no one will leave because Shaka won't tell them to?  Because if that happens, it could get super ugly.

I went back and watched the SJU video again.  He never once leaned that way, or had the same mannerisms toward that sleeve.

No, monetization here has always been a joke.  We make some good coin from ads (folks that choose not to log in), but Spiral and I are still in the hole from our years of paying for this place before ads.
