Rate Sheek's Transfer News

[Vander Blue Man Group]

When a player has established that they're bad, then you at least take a flyer on someone else. So that's my response to that. Shaka thinks he has value. He's wildly wrong, and it's a detriment to the program. We all know what Caedin is: bad. Even you would admit that. There's no defense at this point.

The response is very logical. What kind of big are you going to get to come in as a 3rd string 5?

You've continually failed to answer that question because the answer is not a very good one.

Please don't lump me in with JB on the Caedin stuff. Feel free to quote where I said that Sheek left because of him. I haven't said so. But you and several others, who claimed it's fine to have Caedin on the roster because he'll be end of the bench, are now realizing you whiffed. "It's fine Shaka has misevaluated him, he won't play!"

I argued keeping bad players on the roster was a bad idea. And now we're here. You don't have a leg to stand on in this particular argument.

Who would be playing as a backup center if Caedin wasn't on the roster?

Obviously the hope would be someone better than Caedin.

We have 2 scholarships open to find that. So how is Caedin being on the roster preventing that?

I said this earlier in the thread, but it's a tough needle to thread. "You're the backup, but we have two other guys who will have been in the program for four and three years". Not saying they can't get a guy, but not a lot of wiggle room, I'd say.

Huh? So do you think if Tre Norman was back Nolan Minessale would've seen a guy who saw his minutes diminish and say, "Yeah, can't compete with a guy who's been in the program for four years. Onto Wisconsin where they have nobody who's been in the program!"

You say you aren't selling the same schtick Troll BeeJay is, yet you're saying the same thing he is saying.

Anybody who's worth having on your roster is not going to be scared of a guy who went from starting to playing under 9 mpg as the season went on. Somehow Fru wasn't scared away by MU keeping the guy they began the year starting at center on their roster. Somehow Royce stuck around despite keeping the guy who started ahead of him on the roster.

If a player is too worried about beating out Caedin Hamilton then good luck at UW Stout to him.

How is this still not registering?

Fru certainly wasn't scared. That's why he came here. They promised him Gold's minutes.

Take a moment to think further after that.

Caedin was a starter. You'll defend Shaka no matter what, but maybe take a step back and realize that for two years Shaka thought he was good. You both know he's not suited for this level.

Except I didn't defend Shaka for starting him so try again.

You need to accept that any #3 center was not going to be any good but you'd rather  follow the 5 D's of Dodgeball: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge

Great flick. Why is Shaka keeping the worst C in the league? Or maybe the second worst. How about you answer the question if Hamilton being on the roster is for the best?

How does Hamilton being on the roster change anything regarding Sheek? If Hamilton wasn't on the roster, what situation would be better for Marquette basketball right now?

Shaka will play him all 40 minutes every game, too, which will cause Fru to transfer after the first semester.

You're close, he's going to get 45 minutes since we won't need to run 5 guys out there with him on the floor.  Think of the savings!

I mean I'm sure you'll correct me but it seemed like Royce was playing more of a stretch 4 in the first half the year (poorly) which means that Hamilton vs Royce wasn't really a thought. We didn't have a traditional 5 to battle Caedin for it since Ben also isn't one either. Once Royce stopped being a stretch I thought he started playing over Caedin.

Correct.  A lot of people around here forget that Royce was awful for the first half of the year, but then again, literally everyone was except Chase.  A few guys turned it around, but unfortunately Chase went the other direction.

Find me one time I ever said it was for the best.

Never happened.

What I've said is him being on the roster does not prevent Marquette from building a really good team.

That's objectively true and I have no idea why that's so difficult for you to understand.

Caedin must have kicked Soda's dog, because the obsession is getting strange.

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

If you can't improve the team with two open spots, it's probably time to just fold the program.

Worrier thinks that's going to happen anyway.  The good news for him is, we'll all be dead some day so it doesn't matter

Nah! Just raise tuition, that should keep it going.

No. 18 is the anointed one who must play in Shaka's mind. It's bizarre, we've seen it. He'll remain a part of the regular rotation, entering games in the first half.

Flyers who don't pan out usually don't play every game. 18 is the exception.

I expect to see him out there 20-25 minutes next year.  Hope they run him and Fru on the court at the same time.  Two Towers of Power offense and defense.

Better yet, if Clark left, we would have had four. Exactly how would additional two spots translate into an improvement to the team? What positions do you think Shaka should fill? Is the $ available for Shaka to do what you think he should do?

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?
