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.

Confirmed.


WOW.

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

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.

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.

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.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

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.

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.

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."
