Fru to Mu

[NickelDimer]

Fruck yes. Awesome pull Shaka!

[The Sultan]

Is it possible for him to play two years for us or do we just have him for one?

Only if Shaka adopts him.

[Pakuni]

If only there was an island of misfit toys for some of our most annoying postets to go to..........sigh......

This place would be way better if everyone had the same opinion.

[MuMark]

This place would be way better if everyone had the same opinion.

yeah....thats what bothers me......that everyone doesn't agree with me......lol

You figured it out!

[MU82]

This place would be way better if everyone had the same opinion.

This place would be way better if everyone held himself or herself accountable.

For example, if Shaka didn't land a highly regarded big in the portal, I'd have admitted I was wrong for having thought he would do so.

Thankfully, at least a few Scoop-tics are admitting they were wrong for believing Shaka couldn't or wouldn't do so.

[#UnleashThePortal]

I quoted you.

"Everything done so far in the face of the transfer portal seems to suggest Marquette is a poverty program."

Which is completely true. Until STEP 1 was done today. They have a ways to go still.


But you'll ignore actual words and meanings for your stories as you always do =)

Nobody should expect everyone to be perfect (obviously, Sultan is excluded), but just own it and move on. This guy still owns the fact that I fully supported the Wojo extension. Not my best take.

Just because you think some posters are misfits who should go away doesn't mean you're bothered by what they have to say.
Got it.

I also find some posters/opinions annoying. And I think it's great they they're here exchanging their thoughts and ideas about the program that (I think) we all love and support.

It absolutely was not true. Marquette was never acting like a "poverty program." First, Marquette resigned their top three returnees. Second, you have no idea what they were doing behind the scenes. Just because you don't know what is going on, doesn't mean nothing is going on.

Seriously, try being less of a clown.

[Biggie Clausen]

This is great news.  It once again proves that Marquette has some very rich, very passionate donors who are willing to step up when the program needs it most.  They're the ones who set millions of dollars on fire to get rid of Wojo, I'm assuming they strong-armed Broeker and Shaka into making that portal announcement before the Xavier game back in February, and I think their dollars will help us land some big fish going forward.  You love to see it.

Are you and Farley the same person?

[Small Orange Soda]

If you actually take a look at EXACTLY what I said....

I very clearly stated it has yet to be seen if marquette had any money to spend or not. Every action they had taken to that point showed they did not.

Today is a STEP in the correct direction. Let's see how much Marquette has in the bank.

But it's totally like you to provide false information on what people actually say.

Lol,

A) come off it, you were thinking it too. I bet you were in agony over if Fru would sign or not.

B) There's a single player on the roster that would have received national attention if they went to the portal, lets calm down with the whole signing Nigel back was a massive win. Who knows, he may very well already be on a 3 year contract.

C) a single solitary great signing does not make a 12-20 team close to national contenders. Stop pretending it does.

Accountable for/to what? It's just a message board where we idiots anonymously share information and various hot takes about a college basketball team. Some of which will be spectacularly wrong.
Why do some people get giddy satisfaction over calling out fellow MU fans' mistaken opinions? We all have bad takes.

Maybe we should form a truth commission where posters will be called upon to account for their grave mistakes. We'll start with those who thought RGV was a good idea.

We get 1 absolutely stud, or 2 decent players.. I'll agree with ya.

Literally 1/2 of non scoop conformist posts are done by troll accounts. Scoop is just easy rage bait.

A. Nope. Regardless, if he went elsewhere, it wouldn't be an indication of being a "poverty program."

B. Yes retaining the BE freshman of the year is a big deal.

C. Shifting goalposts continues...

Just to be clear......

1 it was a joke.......

2 yes I believe the board would be better off without the trolls.......

3 the vast majority of posters add something to the discourse......I do not believe everyone does.

4 You and I have sparred on occasion and I think you are an excellent poster.

[MuggsyB]

What impact do you think Fru will have on Royce on both ends of the floor?  I know I'm biased, but I really think RP is primed to have a huge Jr. season.

[BCHoopster]

More importantly, the pick  and roll will be back in the offense, which should open up the wings so Adrian and Ross should get more open shots.  Plus if Sheek can hit an outside shot, they will have something, called the biggest front line in years, lots of possibilities

[BCHoopster]

Adrian and Royce, bad eyes

[MUeng]

Watching some Fru highlights, he moves similar to Oso without the ball. But better hands than Oso. Brown at Louisville played well with Fru on the pick n roll and lobs. Nigel, your running mate is here! Could be a big year

I love the lob threat and Fru's ability to O-Reb.  Look out if MU gets another perimeter scorer.
