A respected VCU Basketball source:

Terry Scanlon ‏@terryscanlon 40m
@VCUathletics @MatShelton @districtballer @VCUPav These Shaka rumors are unsettling. What are you hearing?

District Baller ‏@DistrictBaller 1m
@terryscanlon @VCUathletics @MatShelton @VCUPav Nothing that would worry me.

Good reason for everyone to take a deep breath and step back a little.  This has happened before with coaches.

As MUStudent alluded to, DistrictBaller is a highly respected source. Has nailed recruits and big stories months in advance. I'd trust his word on this side more than anyone else.

[StillAWarrior]

Confirmed.


WOW.

I'm a little surprised that this didn't get any response.

[Windyplayer]

Believe me I have credible info.. but hey I guess we'll just have to wait and see in 24hrs. haha

Sticking to your guns amid the turmoil?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Sheesh.  You can't trust anyone on Twitter these days  

[muhoops1]

Did we jump the Shaka on this one?  Fortunately, I only texted family that he was all wrapped up.  Chances this falls through or never was?  Anxiety attack.

It's happened before...

I think it's because, unlike previous MU coaches who departed, this one is trying to talk to his players and administration before the official news breaks. 

[melissasmooth]

Yeah.  Would stink if this all fell through. Then missed on howland and settled on tier two. Not going to get excited about false tweets for rest of day. Could be emvarrassing

The requisite dark period and denials that follow the inevitability of a news leak like this so that loved ones can be notified.

Sticking to my guns as is my source.... The wait continues....

[Wisco]

Just contacted my guy again...was literally told the exact opposite of what is being said here.

The fun continues...not going to get any work done today.

Not gonna lie I really dont believe you have as big of sources as you say you do. You said you were still a student, so am I and I have some pretty good sources but nothing close to what you say you have. I could be wrong but I am a little skeptical about your source as well as other peoples. Ill play the waiting game.

[ceh]

I'm a little surprised that this didn't get any response.

Ahhh.  I'm with you SAW.  R. Shaw, what did you hear?

I won't take offense...you have every reason to be cautious. I'm confident in my people but am a self-admitted hypocrite as I don't believe other's sources either.

Ha, good point.

Conversation went down yesterday as "we want Shaka, will be tough to get but possible" followed by "we can get Howland but have to break the bank to get him.If we pay that price we want to pay a hotter younger coach who is relevant in current basketball circles"  Message heard Today is that they offered a lucrative deal for Smart with room for negotiations. Followed later by "We have strong reason to believe Smart will be our coach, expect to be final within 24 hours."

This is different than what you originally posted.  You posted it's done.

Where is the smart money being bet right now?  I'm all in on Shaka.

[Wojo'sMojo]

Well, I'm a lot less confident than I was a couple of hours ago. This would be awful if we don't end up with him...

[melissasmooth]

It's all full until someone pukes lol
