Reading their message board is pretty entertaining. It’d be funny to see blackshear grad transfer to A&M.

—-

I appreciate what Buzz has accomplished at VT and I'm personally grateful. And if he leaves for a job he’s always wanted I will wish him well. But——-if he allows KJ or other current players to follow him he will loose all my respect. It’s one thing for him to leave but for him to allow players to leave with him for his new school is to me totally disrespectful of VT which has been great to him and to all of the students and fans who have supported him over the last 5 years with their attendance and their money. Buzz says all the time it's more than basketball and that he teaches life lessons to his players. I agree and think that's great. But the life lesson here is you don't sabotage the people (institutions and fans) that have been good to you and supported you for the past 5 years for your own future gains.

LOL I wonder what they said when Ahmed Hill followed Buzz there

Sources: Texas A&M is expected to offer Virginia Tech's Buzz Williams a multi-year deal worth a minimum of $3.5 million dollars annually to be its next head basketball coach. Aggies have no secondary candidate.

VT is going to have a hard time luring another current, established coach again this time. They pulled it off to everyone's shock with Buzz, but that just doesn't seem a very attractive job still. I don't think there's any way they get Marshall or Cronin.

They certainly will have trouble at the salary they gave Buzz, who was desperate to get out of Milwaukee. I'm not sure how deep VT's pockets are. If they offer enough, they might pull off another surprise. It is the ACC, and they did get a taste of what success could be like these last couple years.

Until there's an extension in place, I assume we'll see Wojo mentioned for most every HM opening.

Why would an extension matter? For the most part, extensions are a joke.

The only ones locked in, with no penalty to pay, are the athletes -- the people who make college sports possible.

Mick Cronin can go to VT and lock in battle to the death with Tony Bennett for who can score less over a season

UVA was pretty middle of the pack in scoring in the ACC.

Anyone else find it a little weird there's been no legitimate buzz (no pun) around our coach since the day he got here?

Not really. Buzz especially was famous for using media guys as conduits so as to enhance his own 'rumors'. Wojo doesn't do that at all to the best of my knowledge.

MuMark just posted a tweet saying that VT reached out to Wojo.

Some wishful thinking from a UNLV fan made me chuckle:

Steve Wojciechowski loves UNLV. He's followed the program from afar.
Imagine Markus Howard flying down the court like he's Greg Anthony. #UNLV @DRFrancois1

Why do we want Wojo when Marquette fans want to fire him. I read there message board and they would love for us to take him.

Response:
A lot of their fans didn’t like Buzz either, that worked out pretty good for us in the short term.

They are also eyeing up our recruits to steal. MU Scoop would be in a meltdown mode if we lost two coaches to the Gobblers. Cheeks would also head right into Anaphylactic Shock if the recruits followed Wojo.

I suppose anything can happen, but Wojo to VT would be one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

That’s funny. A few Buzz years has given that fan base a very inflated view of their program

UNLV and VT both are buzzing about Wojo some.

The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole · « **Reply #367 on:** March 30, 2019, 04:56:44 PM »

If Wojo left for VT I would be more depressed at the state of the Marquette program than I have since the Dukiet years. When Buzz left, it was pretty obvious that Buzz wanted a change. But this would signify that Marquette is indeed a stepping stone - and a stepping stone to a mid-level ACC team. Not a blueblood.

That being said, I would be really surprised if this happens.

Remember when they put Scott Monarch's photo up on their website instead of Buzz? Their SID didn't even know who they hired.

Hopefully, TAMU can help them in College Station with finding the right Buzz picture. Or he could have a little fun...and photoshop a picture of Topper with a BnC...

Dear Jesus,

As you drove the money changers from the Temple please compel Virginia Tech to offer Wojo a job. And just as you changed to water into wine make Wojo want a change of scenery to move to Blacksburg.

In the same way you raised Lazurus from the dead and fed the 5,000 let the hopes and dreams of the Marquette faithful be reinvigorated and come back to life with a full measure of vim, vigor, and vitality.

We ask this in the name of the Lord.

Thanks, Jesus!
