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

[Eldon]

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

+1.

I have so much work to do, and I have literally been on Scoop all day

I started the day with 347 posts.

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.

No way Shaka would leave a nice gig he got a VCU for the instability we have at MU.

Guy turned down UCLA for christ sakes.

Yeah, by Larry Williams, right? Crawl back in your hole, turd.

Lol, I love that you're sticking with the shtick!

[forgetful]

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

it's all about the benjamin's baby!

Benoit Benjamin...I know we have had problems with bigs in the past, but I don't think he even has coaching experience.

Believe what you all want, I'm here to give accurate information.

You're still here?

[Da 'Lanche]

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.

I'll bet you a scotch of choice

That was funny.  I am running my post number higher today as well.

[Niv Berkowitz]

The options are better now because there aren't any other top tier jobs open AND there's an available bonafides in Howland out there.

I'd rather have Howland personally. He's not a retread coach. Has the titles and wins and probably a chip.

That being said, if It's between him and Shaka, I'm not gonna lose too much sleep.

Troll detected.

1.  Said Larry Williams reached out to Shaka.
2.  I went to the VCU board and "VCUInsider" is a running meme that they have.  Someone takes the name and signs into boards of schools rumored to pick off Shaka.

[Blackhat]

[chapman]

Howland or Smart and I will be happy.

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

Completely.  Candidates on this level were wishful thinking by Scoop's dreamers in '08.  This time the national media is naming them serious candidates.

How come no one ever wants to bet me for a 4 pack of Old Milwaukee Tall boys.

No seriously I love Old Milwaukee

I'm sure I must have drank with you in college....and you are a sick man

Then you must also love diarrhea too.

Who doesn't?

Agree (and I got another post).  But I really agree with this.

[Eldon]

Benoit Benjamin...I know we have had problems with bigs in the past, but I don't think he even has coaching experience.

Did he drop the ball?  Did we make the call?

Amazingly, I'm not sure we can afford the buyout to lure him away from Habush, Habush, Davis, & Rotier

[Wade for President]

Well done.  Honestly don't know the last time I heard his name, and don't know if I'll ever hear it again.

[ChicosBailBonds]

This hire better be a Knock Out!

I see what you did there....sorry, despite Bill hiring K.O. the first time, he isn't coming back.

Am I misreading this or is "VCU Insider" (new tonight claiming he is close to their program) saying it will be Shaka?

[GB Warrior]

Yeah, but the buyout dropped to 100k when Davis left the partnership

We need some fun games like that.  Except the rumors are usually true in our case, so some kind of variation.
