i have a source that says there will be an announcement tomorrow...

[mufan924]

...so this should be over soon...

it's all about the benjamin's baby!

[BenCat12]

There sure are a lot of people with "sources."  Yet, very little information is ever given.  Not picking on you, just saying.

[mufansince72]

I'll take some benjamins!  Do tell!

[chapman]

I see what you did there.  And I pray you're right.

[BenCat12]

Personally, I just hope it is a smart decision.....

[GoldenWarrior11]

I wish I had some sources...  My wall doesn't talk back to me.

[mufan924]

we shall see, monitor those smartphones & whatnot.

[Pakuni]

That would come as a real Shaka.

This did not go unnoticed.

I heard from my WARden that MU will make a very Vanilla hire.


Get it  Wardle and White

Benjamin's baby?

Shaka's dad's name is Robert.

[warriorfred]

Howland or Smart and I will be happy.

Is it me, or do the options seem better than after Crean left?

[The Lens]

This hire better be a Knock Out!

[DCWarriors04]

Hoping it's either Smart or Howland

[AZWarrior]

So the Benjamins are having their baby!  And Mrs. Benjamin is in labor right now, so we'll hear whether it's a boy or a girl tomorrow.  I'm waiting with bated breath.    

[Da 'Lanche]

It will be Shaka or Ben....no question about it in my mind.    My sense is it will be Shaka as this is being done quickly, quietly and with lots of involvement from a guy like Doc Rivers behind the scenes.  If it was imminent with Ben Howland...the national press would be all over it already beyond "MU reached out to Ben Howland."

[GoldenWarrior11]

Howland or Smart and I will be happy.

Is it me, or do the options seem better than after Crean left?

Definitely.

[mu03eng]

Seems like MU isn't the dead end job that Buzz...errr...Goodman seemed to say it was

[KenoshaWarrior]

My source says Marquette is trying to bite of more than it can CHEW.


Any other good puns that I am missing.


Marquette will rise like the PHOENIX

[warriorfred]

I feel a sense of optimism, similar to when Crean left.  This is actually exciting.

[VCUInsider]

I can confirm it's Shaka, but the announcement won't be made tomorrow. He needs til' Wednesday to notify recruits.  C'est la vie.

[MUCam]

It sounds like Marquette was willing to marshall its resources to get this thing done.

[mu03eng]

It will be Shaka or Ben....no question about it in my mind.    My sense is it will be Shaka as this is being done quickly, quietly and with lots of involvement from a guy like Doc Rivers behind the scenes.  If it was imminent with Ben Howland...the national press would be all over it already beyond "MU reached out to Ben Howland."

I don't buy that it's Shaka.  I'd like that higher, but I think Shaka is waiting for a blue blood and is smart enough to know that he can maintain his desirability, stay at VCU and hang out until one of the big guys come calling.

There is no upside for him to come to MU, it won't build his profile any higher.

I think it ends up being Howland, which is just fine.
