Yeah. You've mentioned a lot of guys who you think would look good at MU. Wish MU would hire you as a GM at minimum.

If Elon wants a return on investment in Wisconsin, may I recommend a $26M donation to the Be The Difference NIL fund

The day will come when what happened to Izzo happens to Shaka.  And then Shaka will have to use the portal.

What is interesting to me is how little chatter there has been about Shaka, other than early UVA.   Perhaps his portal/NIL stance has made him less attractive to the power 4 schools.

I'm surprised there isn't more chatter about Shaka keeping all his players when you look at what happened to Izzo.

It probably helps that he turns down jobs like UK and UVA, and schools know they can't get him.  I would also think it helps to know he isn't going to place more value in the portal than on current player development. Makes me appreciate him even more when you see guys like Buzz running from their current positions.  I think next year will be a little bumpy, but I'm looking forward to the years to follow.

One of these days, instead of saying that the answer will take more time than we have, I would like him to take 20 minutes and really lay out his thoughts.   We can piece them together, but I would like to hear it delivered power point lecture style.

The "chatter" about Shaka and McDermott just comes from the media and their disrespect of the Big East as a non-football conference. The people who actually work in college sports and know college hoops know Shaka has everything he wants at MU and isn't interested in getting back into a situation similar to Texas.

Billy, I agree.  And perhaps that is becoming more widely accepted.  Hence my comment on the lack of chatter.

More surprising we aren't reaching out. Anyone know if we didn't go after him because of a culture thing?
Numbers to contextualize MUBB:
Made 44% of tournaments, 54%  since 55

8x we've gone to the second weekend without guys that played for Al

Of 46 seeded tournaments we've been:
Two 2 seeds
Four 3 seeds
One 4 seed
Two 5 seeds
Four 6 seeds
Four 7 seeds
One 8 seed
Three 9 seeds
One 10, 11, & 12 seed.

Actually that was my not surprised......that we apparently aren't recruiting him in the portal.

Either he said no the first time or Shaka cooled on him.......either way somebody else got that spot.

Yes, the majority of players in the portal are in the portal because they couldn't get PT a their current school.

On the other hand, seven of the 10 consensus first- and second-team all-Americans this year were transfers.

If no one is leaving, MU has plenty at the 2-3 position.

I would not be surprised if McDermott floats his name out there to improve his situation at Creighton.

Let's see, Norman 4 Star, Fretig 4 Star, Abraham 4 Star, what do they all have in common, all look good on the bench.  Sometimes rankings mean nothing.
