NOLAN Minessale Coming to MU

[Billy Hoyle]

Minnesale's dad atarted at MU one year after I graduated from MU. Damn, I'm feeling old this morning!

[Galway Eagle]

What other questions keep you up at night? If you need suggestions, there are questions regarding how Sheek and SLU got together and which of our two bench centers will blossom into a solid player first.

They aren't all winners:

2026) Why did Tre Norman choose Milwaukee

2024) what if Tyler isn't injured

2023) what if Tyler isn't injured

2020) Could Markus will us to at least one tournament win?

2019) What was truly in the letter?

2018) Would this team have won a tournament game if NET was used instead of RPI?

2012) what if Mizzou hadn't choked again Norfolk St? What if Otule isn't injured.

2010) What if Jimmy had played decent defense and we stop the shot?

2009) what if lazar knows the size of his feet & James isn't injured

2008) what if we stop the shot?

2007) what if McNeal isn't injured?

2005) what if Travis isn't injured?

2002) what if we stop the shot?

1997) what if we don't run into a Providence team blessed by god?

1983) what if we defend the shot?

1978) what if whitehead isn't ejected?

1976) what if they seeded teams so we didn't have to play IU in the elite 8?

1974) what if AL is not ejected?

1971) what if chones stays?

1970) what if we stay in the NCAA tournament?

1969) what if Mount doesn't hit those shots?

I'm going to take only the ones from my time at Marquette and for some years afterward, but thanks for nothing! Now I'm going to wake up frequently at night until November.

Well, Chones had been abused by Kent Benson that season, so he wasn't staying.

As for Al in '74, he choked massively

Hurley wouldn't have gotten ejected if it had been him.

Here's one that'll help you sleep but not related to Marquette

What if Hopkins and/or Maggette had an ounce of local pride instead of opting for the Friars.

this could be a seperate thread.

Another - 1998), what if Hutch isn't injured and feuding with Deane? We started 10-0 that season.

1996 was "what if we don't shoot 27% for the game against Arkansas, 19% inside the arc, and didn't take 30 threes (Pieper 14 himself, making only 3)" 1997 was the PC game.

The Lazar thing wasn't the size of his feet, he stepped over the line when he decided not to pass the ball in.

Didn't know about 98, my bad on 96/97

The lazar thing I was just trying to put a humorous twist on that boneheaded move.

Can you imagine what scoop would have looked like?

[Uncle Rico]

Can you imagine what scoop would have looked like?

Willie would have spent the next 3 years calling for him to be fired

Cute story. But ...

He joins Sananda Fru as one of two transfers headed to Marquette, marking the first time Smart has dipped into the transfer portal.

I hope nobody tells Kolek, OMax, Morsell and Kuath that.

It is definitely different now though I $uspect.....

1998 was my senior year, and we were jacked up about being 10-0 after the Wardle last-second three at Louisville and Deane flipping off the crowd. Then BAM, we come back from break to 4 losses in a row. My roommate knew Hutch, and Hutch was pissed at Deane, claimed he was a racist, etc.

MU might want TMJ4 to edit the tampering part out of the video. Nolan's mom talks about the first time Shaka called Nolan, the family was on vacation and an eagle landed nearby during the call! 
 
Unless the Minessale family vacation was AFTER Nolan was in the Portal, that would be tampering. 

I guess I'm not going to get too upset about SLU tampering with Sheek.  Seems everyone is doing it, and the NCAA has chosen to look the other way.

I guess I'm not going to get too upset about SLU tampering with Sheek.  Seems everyone is doing it, and the NCAA has chosen to look the other way.

It literally said in the article that Shaka didn't call until after he entered the portal.  Of course, I don't think anyone actually believes there was no communication prior but the article doesn't indicate that's the case.

"Within five or 10 minutes of entering the portal, Shaka was already on the phone. There was a level of prioritization there. It was clear they knew his game and how he fits their program," Mark Minessale said.

"Within five or 10 minutes of entering the portal, Shaka was already on the phone. There was a level of prioritization there. It was clear they knew his game and how he fits their program," Mark Minessale said.

I'm more impressed that Shaka was refreshing the transfer portal fast enough to call within 5 minutes...on March 10 - when Nolan was on vacation in Florida 3 days after St Thomas spring break ended!   

(I actually think the "first time Shaka called" and "5-10 minutes" are two different stories, but the article isn't really very clear about that)

"Fortunately for me, there wasn't a situation with bench players that would be taking my time no matter what like Sheek had to deal with, so that helped in the decision."
