Any basketball Seniors returning?

[Herdmeister]

I assume that you all know about 1 player we are reaching out to in the portal. Pitt's 6-8 F sophomore Abdoul Karim Coulibaly. He started in 20 of 22 games this year for the Panthers.
He played prep ball at the same school that Herd recruit Kyle Braun now attends.
We are also looking at 3 others in the portal as well. 1 PF and 2 guards

Who was the last Marshall men's basketball player to transfer in from a P5 school?

Rondale Watson from Wake Forest

In regards to Jannson Williams, I would guess that DD told him that he could come back, but let him know the team might be looking to utilize younger/ transfer players, and that Jannson Williams' role would be diminished.

Hopefully DD will help Williams find a spot at a lower level where he will get plenty of playing time.

What is that guess based off of?

Issue I see is it takes time to learn Dans offense but this sounds good

The good thing is there is zero focus on defense so that time can be allotted to learning the offense.

Pretty cool to have a defense in the top 1/3 of college basketball when it’s given zero focus. Must have amazing defensive talent to pull that off.

D'Antoni's been coach for like what 7 years now? I still see threads all basketball season long complaining about how "this year's Herd goes on hot and cold stretches, its inconsistent."

Rondale Watson from Wake Forest

James Kelly came from Miami, FL, about the same time or just before Rondale, but had only one year of eligibility to use at MU.

I really don’t see it being that big of a deal losing guys that we would have lost had this been any other season. We’ve literally seen the ceiling with this core. How exciting would college sports be next season if every team in every sport returned everyone?

Obviously you don't attend practice

Obviously from the Rice game, some of the players didn’t either.

Must be why we are sitting at home watching other teams play.

Yeah, we sucked balls in our last game. Never said we didn’t. Embarrassing. But it wasn’t because our defense was bad this season. That talking point expired a few years ago.

We haven’t won anything significant since a few years ago.

Very true. So you’re now saying we should not focus as much on defense? I’m confused.
