RIP Marquette 2025-2026 Men's Basketball Season

[MU82]

So I doubt players will not receive no payments.

Wut?

You are drastically underestimating the power of coaching for your job at a P5 level.

IMO, Shaka doesn't need any pressure to make changes to win. I genuinely believe he an ultra competitive guy who will do what he needs to do to win without outside motivation.

[MU82]

Shaka really tries to buy into relationships with his players and there families.  It will be hard to tell juniors to take a hike.  Only person I see leaving is JONES, who might graduate.  One portal transfer is not enough, let's see if Shaka has the balls to get rid of more dead weight

It must be exhausting to be a 24/7 Eeyore.

Also, "their" families.

Also, if JONES leaves as you are speculating, it would be a minimum of two spots for incoming transfers.

Also, your interest in Shaka's genitalia is disturbing.

The people writing the checks have told them to wake up from their happy little dream.

I fondly remember the slew of "reports" that MU couldn't be happier with Wojo.

I would certainly hope he's motivated enough internally. External noise clearly was a motivating factor in this change though. Those with the money want to win and said this version is unacceptable. Adapt or die so they say.

And this is what really gets me. Without "external noise" (weird words, but they work here) I wonder if Shaka would have rerun RGV this coming season without transfers. The money people needed to give him a wake-up call.

They (very clearly) already did.

One of the nice parts, and perhaps the only one, of NIL/Portal world is that everyone's on a one-year deal. From a GM perspective, they inform Hamilton and Norman that they may get replaced. MU goes into the portal with 2 spots (Lowery/Jones), and 4 spots if they find the right fits. This is the big leagues, you need to make bid decisions. The point is that MU decides is players come back. They owe nothing to anyone after the season concludes.
