Rate Sheek's Transfer News

[MU82]

We would have 3 open spots instead of 2 to improve the team.

You're a pip.

[Uncle Rico]

Well, that is the real question. Do we have the resources to acquire the talent and keep the talent to place a competitive team on the court?

No.  It's pretty clear Marquette does not

Did you really think I would not notice that you failed to address the first two "real" questions? Your simplistic replies to posts is clearly your preferred M.O. Avoid questions that require thinking through an answer and just go with a quick and easy statement about "resources".

Caedin Hamilton is to Shaka as Derrick Wilson is to Buzz. They're riding with their guy no matta what

[dgies9156]

It is possible Sheek could be like Real Chili. Everybody thinks it is really good, until you taste it and realize it is crap.

Who knows how he will do!

Caedin Hamilton is to Shaka as Derrick Wilson is to Buzz. They're riding with their guy no matta what

Except that Buzz didn't give Derrick significantly fewer minutes and significantly less responsibility as the 2013-14 season went on. In MU's last regular-season game that season, a 2OT loss to St. John's, Derrick played 47!! minutes. He averaged 31.8 mpg the last 19 games that season; Hamilton averaged 8.9 mpg the last 19 games this past season.

I know you were just having fun, though, so pardon those silly facts.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming: Blaming Caedin for Marquette's 1978 NCAAT loss to Miami of Ohio.

The 4 spots  (I know we have only 3) but to answer your question would be : another 5, another 4 and 2 guards. At least one of them would have to be around a 40 percent 3pt shooter (where you find him I have no idea) and of course they should be able to play at the high major D1 level. As to specific players I have no idea as I don't follow college ball that closely.

According to this: https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/individual/143

Only 46 players shot 40% or better from three.

Of those 46, only 16 played at a high major school.

Of those 16, only 11 didn't exhaust their eligibility last season.

Of those 11, only 4 entered the transfer portal

Of those 4, only 2 are uncommitted.

So you want us to get Either Milan Momclovic or Paul McNeil Jr

The minimums to qualify for the 3FG%  race are quite high, so using this list doesn't make a lot of sense to ID good shooters imo.

That said, the point remains - they don't grow on trees.

I think there were just under 250 players last season who attempted at least 60 3FGAs (roughly 2 per game) and made 40% or better.

[MU82]

If Shaka really wants to win, he'd go get SGA and Jokic.

Great analysis

I do believe he wants us to get Milan Momcilovic

[Uncle Rico]

People believe the stories in the bible, so they'll believe anything.

[brewcity77]

Paul McNeil is probably more likely.

[Uncle Rico]

Paul McNeil is probably more likely.

Yes, please

[tower912]

...and why not? Oh! Will just have to pay everyone else more if we want to keep them, but he certainly would improve the team.

As said here numerous times, the ship has sailed, regardless of money.  It's not a money issue.

This a great idea! I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of it first.

Oh...I think you meant "We'll". Just saving JB from spending the time to correct you.

[JoanofArcMascot]

Technically, Trevor Mbakwe, unlike LeDaryl Billingsley, did play for Marquette, appearing in 11 games.

[Galway Eagle]

If I had to guess Sheek's most likely to be thought of as a Jameel McKay or DJ Newbill

[vogue65]

No.  It's pretty clear Marquette does not

Neither do hundreds of other schools.
The end of March madness is upon us.
Like LIV in golf, nobody thinks strategically.
What goes around comes around.
We are back where we started.

Correct.  The NCAA really effed this up despite decades of knowing this was coming.  But amateurism!

Darn, I completely forgot Mbakwe actually played some games for Marquette.

If I had to guess Sheek's most likely to be thought of as a Jameel McKay or DJ Newbill

McKay would have been a better choice.  Let's just pretend that's what I meant.
