:: UPDATE: At 7:30 p.m. @muathletics says nothing changed since we talked at 5:15. "Don't believe everything you see on Twitter," he said.

At this point, no one has contacted VCU AD Ed McLaughlin to speak to Shaka Smart officially. Shaka was working at VCU today. FWIW.

For real? Your boy the VCU insider says he'll be rocking the Iron Horse later tonight.

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

Is it blatant lying or accidental exaggeration?

There is no confusion - just a bunch of people repeating rumors. The only confusion here is manmade on this board. It's none of our business what is going on in the negotiations about who they are talking to or what is being discussed..

Shaka lives in "the Fan" near VCU (about a 10 minute walk from campus). Pretty hard for him to talk to MU's players tonight in person, if he was seen walking with his daughter in my same neighborhood.

Not saying him staying at VCU is a done deal, just sharing the only information I know.

Wrong way.  Chew to VCU?

You saw him walking with his daughter tonight?

That's B.S. It's already been widely reported Marquette & WF were in contact with Smart.

Not netjets, they have hundreds of planes (fractional jet service) and will send the closets available.

From the article just posted:

"The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Monday afternoon on its website that VCU athletic director Ed McLaughlin and Smart had started discussions about the Rams program, and that he had not been contacted by Marquette for permission to speak to Smart."

WTF?! Seriously. What is going on today? This is so annoying. Even more annoying than my inability to stop paying attention to it.

[Blackhat]

Was MU contacted for Buzz?

[Wade for President]

I hate and love all of this.

+1000

If and when Shaka becomes official, MU bball is going to be so boring.

Huh never thought of that lol well played.

[cheebs09]

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

My goodness, there is a Buzz Williams International in Virginia already?

Not if MU folks wanted to fly to Richmond to say,  heeyyyyyy.
