Sheek in the Portal?

[Scoop Snoop]

I like the MAAC because of the Catholic connection and it was the worst league of the two.  Better chance to compete and keep worrier happy

And Worrier lives in NJ, so he could expand considerably on his expert takes on the team by attending all the home games. Instead of the tame game summaries that Tower used to supply (booooring!) Worrier could write game summaries telling us how bad the team is, how disappointed he is, and that anything short of a national championship = failure but making it to the EE is a step in the right direction. He actually posted something along those lines once.

Well, it did rain 18 inches in an hour.

  You earned your scoop paycheck with this.

I have bad news for you.
Owens is 6'7.  Parham is 6'8.  Clark is as bad on defense as Hamilton.  There is nothing scary about a player returning to the program.  Hamilton alone was not the reason Marquette lost 20 games last year.  Sheek is gone, come to terms with it and get a grip.

Not true that Clark just as bad defensively. Neither suited for the big-man hedge, but here's what you saw with Clark in the game that you NEVER saw with Hamilton. A driver guard spotting Clark and backing up. He was a presence at the rim. Apologizing for Shaka playing Hamilton enough to cost several games is not good for anyone. Get a grip.

Yes. Josh Clark is tall. But that's about it. He is a poor defender.

Thats why i can't believe we didnt #freejosh -  give him extended run in meaningless season to show what (potential) he does(nt) have. If he really had nothing he should've been  shakaxed and we could use his 100k towards buying a serviceable back up. Now we just have "hope"

There is nothing to free. He couldn't make it up and down the court 2 possessions in a row towards the end of the season. He doesn't have the mentality to succeed at this level

Its just sad that we're arguing about these guys. We should be wringing hands that players may not be top line Big East players, but we're reduced to having honest arguments about these guys ability to play D1 basketball.

Asst Coach: Coach Smart, this Clark guy down here in Houston is tall, 7'2".
Smart: any good?
Asst Coach: first picked up a basketball last week, but training with The Dream
Smart: sign him...I'm sure he'll be our man in the middle. If not, we've gots Hamilton.

It's not sad. It's ridiculous. People acting like these two are going to have significant impact on our season, postively or negatively, aren't engaging in realistic thinking.

18 will get minutes in the first half of games. He will impact our season.

The portal closed, so rosters are set

The portal closed, so rosters are set

Players can sign with new teams at any time after the transfer portal closes, as long as they were already in the portal before it closed.

Feel like losing Sheek in the portal is like Jerry McGuire losing Kush in the draft. But maybe we can land Cuba Gooding Junior

I'd prefer Rod Tidwell over Cuba Gooding Jr.  Marquette shouldn't go near sexual predators.

Agree Rod Tidwell

Reports are the Al echoed with "SHOW ME THE MONEY!" as Sheek walked out the door.

50+ year old single dude who plays a sport called pickleball and updates a bunch of strangers about it continuously makes dick (not to mention homophobic and sexist) "jokes."  Things that make you say, "Hmm..."

No one is saying Hmmm anymore about it.

Per a source I know - Sheek was tampered with heavily in the portal. As much as I loathe 18, it had nothing to do with 18 or playing time - it is a pure money play. Sheek is giving MUBB an opportunity to match the cash he is getting elsewhere.

My opinion - got to cut Sheek loose - MUBB cannot be getting into bidding wars with kids that never played before. Also - if we do pony up cash to keep Sheek - what are the big 3 going to do next off season?  The same?

No wonder we don't get the highly sought after HS recruits. You really believe the "big 3"  with their agents won't be looking out for their best self interests next off season?

They were not doing so this off-season?
