This thread just got so weird.  And that's awesome

Looks like Doc and Shaka have known each other for a while. Relationships always make a difference!

Having a friend on the BOT who has your back is a very nice enticement1

Sadly, no. Just a Becky fan looking to stir the pot.

Scratch that, I heard him mention that Larry Mullins reached out to Shaka so there must be some truth in all of this.

Larry Mullen Jr.?  Of U2?

Did you watch the Kansas game?
Are you watching the Kentucky game?
Recruiting is huge, but you can't just throw a bunch of McDonald's AAs on the court and come back with a national title.

Excuse me!  Most coaches couldn't just throw burger boys out there and get a win, but me or 4ever?  Money in the bank.  I even have a pink suit like the one Al had.

Larry Mullen Jr.?  Of U2?

You talkin' U2 - to me?

You or 4ever would an impact hire. Have you spoke to Doc yet?

[forgetful]

I'm not going to give you my credentials, but I am a person with "intimate knowledge" of the VCU athletic department.  I can tell you that Doc and Shaka DID NOT have a meeting Shaka boarded a Private Plane (with the rest of the team) and made their way home.  However, Larry Williams has reached out to Shaka Smart.  Rumbles over here in the AD office are loud.  There will be more information tomorrow. VCU is working on a rebuttal offer, and could go as high as 2 million and a guarantee on the 25 million dollar practice facility to commence construction with no delays.

In all honesty, Shaka has no attachment to Wisconsin from conversations that I've had with him.  This has merely been speculation of all Big Ten teams that have had an interest in hiring Shaka Smart.

Team Proctologist?

Larry Williams made an offer? What school is he with? I hope the rumbles are loud at VCU. Better go higher than $2million, because I hear that Larry has $3million per for 7 years.

I still think Greg Gard, Saul Phillips or even Brian Wardle would be great hires.  They would all play well in every part of the state.

We are way to big of a school to have an assistant of our major rivals.

Playing well to Peshtigo and Spooner probably isn't a major consideration for the administration.

Jim Calhoun is interested in the Boston College opening... as it is reported by RealGM wiretap just now.

But, . . . Boston College is not interested in him however.

If you are considering Howland how about Jim Calhoun?

Or better yet would Jim Calhoun be interested in coming here, and would MU be interested in having him?

  Intriguing....

Thought we wanted to run a clean program...

Although, I have often disagreed with him on the various boards, and disagree with him here, I would never call him a troll.  He is quite level-headed in his discussions about MU.

[NavinRJohnson]

Have to say, my immediate reaction to that instagram picture is that Shaka's just getting himself a raise. If he's truly talking to Doc about coming to MU, is that something that's going to show up on Instagram?

[VegasWarrior77]

I just searched twitter and found this.  Remember this is the internet.

That photo is several months old.
