15th spot for a 5

[Rimrocker]

Is there any evidence that our idiot coach is going to sign a back up at the 5?
Or will we go into our 6th year in a row with Shaka as a coach completely over matched at the 4/5 spot for the Big East conference. 
MU has been poor at best at defending the glass and rebounding margin under Shaka.
Easily argued that we let lightning in a bottle slip away during Kolek's final two years with Shaka's refusal to supplement the 4/5 spot with some braun.  Doing it again in year 6. 
Cant wait to get pounded on the glass yet again in year 6 and listen to Shaka's BS excuses.  Maybe he should chart rebounds and not deflections.  Bring focus to a glaring weakness.
Had some pretty solid recruiting and transfers under Buzz.  Good recruiting under Wojo, but terrible coaching.  The recruiting under Shaka has been poor, felt he would recruit better.  He is not a genius with the white board either.

Thank you for your contribution.

The guy who has led Marquette to it's only outright Big East Title and the two highest seeds in program history is an idiot that can't recruit and doesn't know Xs and Os.

I think I got that right.

Rounding into peak offseason form nicely.

Unless they are dipping into the EURO well, and that player is willing to come off the bench...

No shot they find a good enough player for it to be worth it

I've never seen a message board thread about MU not recruiting a quality 5.  Given the long history of stellar 5 recruiting by Deane, Crean, Buzz and the coach who shall not be named, in a basketball world just dripping with such talent, I look forward to this new and unique discussion.

[Rimrocker]

I fully understand the issue with the difficulty of finding a good 5 being willing to accept a backup role.  But it is not like there is no opportunity.  Other schools are signing 6-7-8-10 players, it is not like they are all promised to be starters.  Additionally, the opportunity is more than there for a soph or junior to be to play decent minutes this year and have full reign next year.  We have two guys that are not D1 players as competition.  Or even a low major type with only 1 year left that would be willing to take a pay raise to play decent minutes and experience high major ball. 
I dont think it as hard a sell as people intent on defending Shaka want to make it out to be.  In fact,  other schools are signing non projected starters left and right.  And it would not take much more than a pulse to sign an improvement over Hamilton.
Once again Shaka appears to be going into a season under manned at the 4/5.  Will we be in store for yet another last place rebounding team in the BE rankings?

E mail Shaka your concerns

Shaka's refusal to supplement the 4/5 spot with some braun.

I have a Braun electric shaver and cannot understand why Shaka refuses to use one. Maybe he did when he was bald.

Bring focus to a glaring weakness.

Considering how weak your post is, I'm surprised that you would accuse someone else of a glaring weakness.

He is not a genius with the white board either

At least he hasn't hurt his hand smashing one like Wojo once did.

This is a good topic.  Hadn't thought about this subject before

[MU82]

Sigh.

[JakeBarnes]

If only Shaka had recruited a 5 this year.

Will we be in store for yet another last place rebounding team in the BE rankings?

I'm simply hoping that Marquette makes the Big East tournament this year.

Live look in at Rimrocker:

If only our idiot coach had 3 years' services of a center who would become an all-conference player and an NBA starter. And if only the idiot coach had just brought in a big-money center for next season.
