Oso planning to go pro
Couldn't agree more Goose. Don't screw around, give him an immediate raise/extension.
I was at that game in Baton Rouge and it felt like Championship Monday. Obviously, IU was loaded, but we were right there, aina?
What happened to waiting 5 years?Edit: Just saw I made the same joke as JB. Don't whip me for it
All Shaka has proven is he can win with Wojo’s recruits……which is more than Wojo ever did. Nice call on this Mugs!
Sure, he's earned it.But an extension won't keep him from leaving if he wants to go.
We already had 12 years to judge Shaka before he ever arrived at MU. Everyone seems to forget the "five year" comment was made with respect to MU's track record of hiring either promoted assistants (Crean, Wojo, O'Neill, Buzz) or low-major coaches (Deane, Dukiet). Shaka arrived with 12 years of head coaching experience under his belt, including six at a high major. He came to MU already a known quantity--something you couldn't say for any prior MU coach.
Only 3 years and 1 month before we can form an initial opinion on Shaka——I hope I’m not being too naive, but I feel like Shaka likes being at MU and there’s a good chance he’ll be with us for a long time
He's not bolting Pakumi.
. I have no idea if/when he's bolting. None of us do.
Probably. I think he might be here for the rest of his career but i could also see him retiring in his 50s
I think Shaka is here for the long haul, but if he left MU in four weeks I would give him a standing ovation and wish him well. He proved it can be done at MU and that is what I have waited a long time to witness.
towerIt has not crossed my mind for a second. As I mentioned, yesterday was an exciting day for the program and a good number of fans. It seemed to be a strange comment, in a positive thread that came from a very infrequent contributor to MU basketball discussions.Again, I have zero concern of Shaka leaving and am enjoying the team and the season. I appreciate you pointing out it is a message board and I will keep that in mind.
I defend Farley's right to be wrong. I defend my right to judge him by his posts and put him on ignore. I defend your right to be critical of Pakuni. I defend my right to disagree with you.
I have been looking for some national perspective on the NCOY and while everyone on Scoop thinks Shaka should win it seems like the prevailing thoughts are Painter or Tang. I was watching the Baylor-OK State game last night and the announcers were ready to hand it to Tang on the spot. I’m just not sure I understand why. What Shaka has done with a young, unproven team that lost so much scoring is just incredible.
