Heroes are forever but legends never die

[Vander Blue Man Group]

A flier prep school kid hardly upsets the roster. CH18 firmly in the plans for next year and that was a driver for losing Sheek. #facts

happy bday ch18

No, the driver for losing Sheek was a last-second over-the-top monetary offer.

If Sheek was worried about beating out Hamilton for minutes, perhaps we shouldn't be upset about losing him.  Except common sense tells us that's not the case.

I'll simplify this for you. There is a pie. With that pie, you can slice it up a couple different ways.

The first pie is a pecan pie. It's complicated. Lots of ingredients. Not ideal for everyone at the party. One guy at the party has an odd, unexplainable obsession with pecan pie. Let's call the first piece fru, the second piece sheek, the third piece ch18 (happy birthday)and the fourth piece Royce.

The second pie is apple. It's beloved. Its straightforward. Some may say it's the perfect dessert. Universally loved and appreciated. The first piece is called fru. The second piece is called sheek. The third piece is called Royce. 

Which pie do you think a player competing for time would select? You don't need any inside information for select this pie either. Just basic common sense.

If someone had such an unexplainable obsession, why did Hamilton's minutes drop drastically as the season went on, as Wade's has explained in detail to you multiple times. 

The one thing missing from your posts on this topic is common sense.

To clarify - MU can afford the players. Coach doesn't want to disrupt his current roster.

also happy bday CH18

To clarify, you are full of sh##.

Why did he remain in the regular planned rotation in the first half all season?

So gullible. That wasn't the driver. Sheek was worried because he saw what we all saw last year and the odd obsession from the staff continued into the offseason.

Putting it very plainly, unhappy people don't leave.

I agree he shouldn't be worried about ch18, but ask Royce how the first half of last season went. Completely unexplainable and only changed after the team hit rock bottom. Shaka continues to rave about ch18. No matter how talented sheek is, he has every right to be concerned with the depth chart regardless of his talent level.

[MuggsyB]

There is nothing but the obvious with that situation. Shaka gushing about CH18 all the way through the season despite obvious flaws, followed up by some bogus awards during the banquet and the "ode to Caedin" during the evening. Parham was frustrated at the beginning of the year and Sheek received no strong confirmation he would be in line for the playing time he expected. Between CH18, Fru and SLU coming out with a big offer, it was a quick and easy decision for him.

Panda, why the F are you dying on this hill?  Even if what you're writing is correct as far as Sheek, I don't understand your obsession with this whole thing.  And I'm saying this as someone that can belabor on things, holds grudges, and excels at gnawing and eviscerating those that bother me.  What possible benefit is there to the MU program, Caedin, and Shaka for driveling over this for months and months and months and months?  You have clearly lost focus, kindly move on.  It would help yourself as well.

If someone didn't have an unexplainable obsession, why is he coming back at all?

You insisted that this guy coming back for his fourth year, whose minutes dropped two years ago as well and then became a starter this past year, would be the 14-15th guy on the roster. That's not common sense either. Now it's very clear that won't be the case.

He's going to play, and that's a problem. Fru played 22 minutes a game last year. And playing guys out of position in his stead isn't going to help the team either, as we saw the past two years. Did you watch Royce try to defend the five this past year? Wasn't pretty.

Die on the hill of our head coach making costly roster construction errors which puts a ceiling on rosters with talent?

If that's the case call me George Custer because I'm not leaving.

With the portal closed, this is more obvious than ever.

Rumors on this board appear to be that they're looking for someone to reclassify.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Psychiatrists are going to refer to this as Hamilton Derangement Syndrome.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Caedin.

That's another avenue, too.

Unhappy people don't leave? I'm going to assume you meant happy people. I'm also going to assume you're trolling, which is sad.

Happy people do leave when offered a significant increase in compensation, especially when it is potentially life changing money.

If Sheek was unhappy and/or afraid of competition and/or worried about favoritism from Shaka, why is it he didn't enter the portal until essentially the last second after receiving a big offer from a desperate SLU team?

Your entire premise falls apart from that simple question because it's nonsense.

He's back because he was expected to be the 3rd or 4th center in the roster. There's no way Shaka could have anticipated what happened with Sheek.

Shaka should add another big. If he doesn't, that's a mistake, IMO.

[wadesworld]

I'm trying to decide how good of a season Marquette would have to have to surpass the amount of entertainment I'd get from the clown show of Caedin haters continue to be mentally unstable because Caedin is playing regular minutes. Might need a Big East title and a Final Four run to make the entertainment from the basketball results be greater than the Scoop entertainment from the Caedin obsessed being put through that.

He is trolling. It's all he has. He tried to pretend he was an insider. Nothing he's ever shared pans out, so now all he can do is troll.

It's truly silly and of zero benefit to our team. Shaka is our head coach.  If you want him to be axed after this year?  Fine.  Again, how does going on and on and on and on and on and on about this benefit our team?  I'll even give you a multiple choice:

A) It doesn't
B) It doesn't
C) It doesn't
D) It doesn't
E) It doesn't

Shaka let sheek walk for Caedin to fly and people here are justifying it.

I'm not pretending to be anything.

I do find it funny that some of you blindly follow some of the "inside info" that "connected" people here are fed from people within the athletic department. That is like blindly trusting a beat reporter an organization knows they can pump info to feed the narrative they want to convey.

I'm not knocking those passing along the info, but it should be viewed through a critical lense.

I'm posting about Marquette basketball and the roster makeup. Is that a relevant discussion point on a Marquette message board?

I asked you a question, and you refused to answer it.  And roster construction, after our roster is set and the portal is basically closed, is a futile and idiotic endeavor. 

[tower912]

The roster isn't finalized and the portal isn't closed.  Other than that, keep up the good work.
