PER TWITTER: Shaka Smart is both the new coach at Marquette and nowhere close to being the new coach at Marquette.

The most accurate tweet of the day?

[Dish]

This feels like Dave McGinnis all over again.

[Sharpie]

Sure seems like things have been tight lipped for the most part to finalize the deal and to possibly give him some time to talk to his players and inform people the right way. I'm sure it's just a courtesy and not anything else.

Either way, if IWB is correct, and I believe he is, welcome coach smart! We look forward to
Your tenure with marquette and the start of something big!

However doesn't look like the deal is done yet. Wtf is going on.

Jeff borzello says he doesn't see it happening  but I don't ever see him say anything good about marquette so there's that.

[Blackhat]

Athletic Department wants to give Shaka some time???

[Boozemon Barro]

Is P Diddy going to drive him here in a Fiat?

[GB Warrior]

A lot of members of the press are staking all of their credibility on this one. Potentially in career-altering ways.

No takes time to write the contract.  Shaka gets what he wants now.  Cannot ask for it after the presser.  

Patience

Exactly. Jeff didnt say my sources say or anything like that

There sure is a heck of a lot of smoke out there on SS to Marquette, for there not to be the fire...and obviously Shaka hasn't made a statement declining the rumors....at this point with all that has been circulated on Twitter and everywhere else...if it weren't likely to happen...why would Shaka not have made a statement shooting it down yet??

I believe.

Had the same thought this afternoon.

[denverMU]

Check for flight tonight from Virginia please.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

This is the worst best roller coaster ever.

FIFY

[Mobot]

Shocka must be one hell of a poker player.

[MU B2002]

Yes.
That's the name I couldn't remember today.  

[PGsHeroes32]

Seriously beginning to wonder if their is some secret illuminati type organization that is organizing this into the biggest coaching troll of all time.

[tweakers_suck]

VCU board is not backing down. MU board is not backing down (but we don't know where we are either) -- I think. Actually, I'm not sure where we stand.

Hoping for something great and spectacular.

In Goose and Keefe I trust.

[WinnipegWarrior]

Shaka better be worth it. I'm too young for this kind of stress.

[Clam Crowder]

Even if we could track his flight....There are 2 airports at least that he could be coming from right? BWI or Reagan. I think BWI is more likely but we are not going to be able to find a flight lol

[brandx]

Can't believe you guys think the negotiations should be done publicly or that somehow, you deserve to be updated about every part of the deal as it is being done.

I have seen more dumb comments here today than I ever have in a thread and that's saying a lot. I would tend to believe a couple of the guys who heard from sources, but there is a lot to negotiate and it takes time. However it turns out.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Why is there so much confusion?  You have sources from both sides claiming contradicting outcomes.  

Is it blatant lying or accidental exaggeration?

[wake20]

wake fan here - just following the drama over on our board. our AD is probably the most tight-lipped AD in college athletics, so we're in the complete dark on this one. at least it beats spending Monday actually working!

[Slim]

Tom Pippines: My mistake. It is Shakira to Marquette.  Damn autocorrect!
