Never felt better about the future of college athletics

We agree on something other than MU basketball. I also do not think anything needs to be changed because it is a free market and that is part of the reason why I think changes will happen.

Just like conference realignment was.  And Tourney expansion.  And the CFP.  And the FBI investigation.  And the transfer portal.  Etc.

Yes.

You're asking too much

For the uninitiated or who are new to MU basketball, stop posting about MU basketball period.  Whatever happens is going to happen. Shaka is going to do what he is going to do.  The players are going to play how they are going to play.  There really is NOTHING to discuss.  Basketball strategy and recruiting and the portal are boring anyway.  You guys are all losers. 

Did I get that right?

I have a question, and an opine. Are two in a single post allowed?

Not if they're hyperbole

This is absolutely INSANE!

Eh. Don't really care.

Crazy to me that even the back to back champs have issues retaining players. Wild times.

.....and 3 burger boys coming in as well.

And yet our coach hasn't lost a player to the portal the last 3 years, despite having several highly regarded players that many schools would have loved to have stolen. Pretty damn impressive job selling the Marquette basketball culture.

Yup!

It's the best way forward for us.

And it won't be four years in a row. A certain injured PG is in the portal right now.

He did lose players, but none of them were seeing minutes.

Sean is not injured. Maybe meant PG who was injured.

Not a single NCAA hoops player is "in the portal right now", but if you've got a scoop, c'mon!
