IWB Just Tweeted "Done Deal"

[real chili 83]

Press still outside the Al.  Probably only for a backdrop for the 10:00 news.

Only people inside the Al now are students ans Academic Support staff.

Unless this ends up going down and this was all for respect of privacy, the athletic department deserves to get lambasted for how it has allowed the media to run with this.

They shot it down twice not sure what else you want.  At least saying it wasn't that close to happening.  They told the media to leave the al Mcguire

The athletic department didn't leak anything out....right?   

[MURFC]

Enough for me, I'm going to bed.  I've been sitting here refreshing Scoop and VCUramnation for the last hour.  I feel pathetic.  Nevertheless, I hope to god that I wake up with a national media outlet confirming Shaka to MU!  Go Warriors!

of course Chicos would never lead us on....

[GB Warrior]

It is in their best interest to understate the status of things until they are on the cusp of going down. We're going to come out of this looking like we were spurned. I guess that's my point for why MU should be exceptionally proactive in defending this.

Six, you've been gone for months...what brought you back out of the cave the last week or so?

Open the chatroom?

Seriously though.

[THEbig0]

Isn't this all happening exactly like the original poster (can't remember who) with insider info said.  A leak tonight, a press conference on Wednesday.

It all sounds about right to me so far.  It's been leaked but not confirmed...that is how it seems, right?

[GoldenWarrior11]

I'll be up for another hour, then I'm calling it for the night.

Strange that you're asking some questions on timing but not other more obvious ones...

This doesn't feel like a leak. I though I would go to bed happy with the knowledge that it was all but formal.

[Aughnanure]

Seriously though.

Chat room is always open!

Pretty much IWB tweeted earlier today that Marquette and Smart had a deal.  Then someone else tweeted about a news conference at 5 PM which IWB said wasn't happening not that fast.  Then IWB tweeted again saying the deal was in fact done but there isn't a confirmation when the press conference is to my knowledge

[NickelDimer]

The longer this goes on the stranger it is that there's been no formal denial from Smart, and even more so from VCU

This, in years past he usually has said something to the media like he is staying put.

[Eldon]

Where is Wake in all of this?

Anybody on their boards?  Twitter trackin Scoopers, you guys following up on them?

EDIT: I'm going to go over there myself and see what's up.

For those who are engaging in that thrilling non-Shaka Smart discussion going on in Shaka's Waiting Lounge in the Superbar, I'll be right back.  Hold your thought.

[The Love House]

The VCU board is up in arms about a tweet that Shaka is staying at the Iron Horse hotel in Milwaukee tonight. Can anyone confirm?

[NickelDimer]

Especially with rumors THIS loud. I understand not formally denying every rumor, but this requires attention.  Attention it's not getting from Shaka or VCU

[RamScam]

You guys are going to get your feelings hurt. You have created this frenzy and even media outlets are buying in on the scoop. The real scoop is there is no scoop. Those connected to vcu know this is another created story by those grasping straws. You guys should really step back and re read all of this fodder. It is so comical. You are making up scenarios and trying to figure things out like flights out of Richmond, where his players are.  This is the biggest hoax I can remember, even more so than Ucla or Illinois. He's not coming folks, move on now or you will regret it

He may not be coming, we will see, but some day your heart WILL be broken out of nowhere by Smart when he goes elsewhere.

We'll be there to comfort you on that day - we know that pain all too well.

They're joking
