Updates on Wojo or Howard

[Goose]

Has anyone seen new info regarding Wojo or Howard leaving? It seems a lot of discussion on here without any solid info. I cannot find anything of substance on either guy.

No, if anything was there, probably be out by the likes of Goodman, etc. and not internet fan websites. 

Saw article from Vegas paper today, no mention of Wojo whatsoever, just VCU coach who is big favorite and they may reach out to Oats.

I'm going to guess this all started because of this

But who knows.

Why would he go to UNLV?

Why would he go to UNLV?

The student reporters there are pushovers.  (This is well known among CBB coaches).

But who knows.

There was a Joe Arrigo on a Packers board I read (PackerChatters) that was viewed as an insider. However, by the end of the board, it didn't sound like he was a well respected source.

Tough to tell if he had no information, or it was just stuff in the works that never came to fruition. I wonder if it's the same guy.

Why would he go to UNLV?

I'm thinking the same thing.  With a full cupboard here there is no reason for him to go even if Howard were to leave (which I think he'd be stupid for doing).  Then again why would Buzz go to Va Tech?

Buzz was unhappy and VPI is at least in the ACC.  Wojo doesn't seem to have any clashes with the administration and UNLV isn't nearly what it used to be.

UNLV:
Wojo rumor preceded by
Thad Motta rumor preceded by
Rick Pitino rumor

Unless the speculation comes from the Las Vegas Review-Journal's UNLV beat writer Mark Anderson - not some blogger -  I'm not buying it.

I can't imagine Wojo considering UNLV. It is a total dumpster fire!

Think thats the writer I mentioned above in that article.  Believe was about new AD (female?), who was at VT and hired Buzz and new coach search
I can't find it anymore, maybe you can and link it here.

If I had to guess, the Wojo rumor never had any legs. I don't see anyway Markus doesn't declare and go through the process. I'd be surprised if he didn't up returning.

That's it, thanks.  I trust the beat reporter also as opposed to others.  Keep us advised, even though I don't think it will happen, maybe stop this rumor thing.

Yep he's the same one. As a Raider fan he also has had some inside info on the Raiders (being in Vegas). He says he's been told Wojo is in the equation for UNLV fwiw

[tower912]

If there was an ounce of new wild assed speculation to be had on either, it would be all over scoop, Goose.   You haven't missed anything.

Yep. It's one guy (Arrrigo) who said he'd like it...followed by numerous UNLV fans saying they couldn't imagine it ever happening. And Arrigo never said he had any information that UNLV shared his opinion.
Even the UNLV fans questioned why he would leave MU and the BE to go to UNLV and the MWC.

Looks like they're aiming more for the VCU guy or maybe Oats.

I found the source of the problem......

The article states the possibility of:
Buzz to TAMU
Mike Rhoades (VCU) to VT
UNLV wanted Rhoades but can't get him

LOL That guy was so clueless, and i actually think this might be the same guy. Weird.

If you read further down the thread he says of Wojo:
This is who I would a targeted to start, before his name was told to me as being in the equation.

It's become quite an affliction but I'm loyal

[muguru]

Not saying in any way that the rumor has legs, but Wojo's wife is from Utah..that puts her closer to home anyway. Who knows why Coaches decide things. In Shaka's case though, his wife makes the decisions on his career.

Absolutely agree, no legs on the Wojo thing and certainly Markus should test the waters.  But I feel Markus will be back at MU.
