[Marquette Fan in WI]

Just had a reporter from Richmond on.
He sound very competent and very confident that Shaka is staying at VCU.
He reviewed the last 48 hours and Mr. Smart's actions most of which have been covered at MUScoop.
Told us to focus on Tony Bennett.

While we are still searching, let's ask Tom Izzo.  I'm sure he'd be interested.

I just don't see Tony Bennett as a candidate. His system is working in Virginia and he's already in a premier conference, which they won. Only thing that could drive him away is money I guess, but I don't see that happening.

[Clam Crowder]

Tony Bennett will be at a blue blood in 5 years... VCU fans think Shaka is John Wooden reincarnate. Becoming more and more clear

[Goose]

Tony Bennett, interesting!?!

[Freeport Warrior]

Bennett was the SMU bailout. That ship has sailed.

[denverMU]

Tony Bennett, interesting!?!

Very interesting!

I hope this never ends--wait, not true.

Wooder? Like how people in Philly say "water"?

Bennett would be awesome. People worship him down here.

[Shark]

It should be noted that he also was just speculating on what seemed logical to him. At the end we are all in the dark and waiting for something official.

1) Smart could possibly be signed and they could be waiting to announce
2) Smart could have never even talked to MU

I am from Rhode Island so I say water even worse than you. My apologies for a spelling error. lol

This.  ACC, good program and a great school.

[Marquette_g]

So we have really reached the point where any name on the radio or in Twitter becomes a viable candidate?  Tony Bennett is not taking the MU job, that is laughable.

I feel like copyrighting a term to capture what has happened over the last 48 hours. So far...

"Prostate 'inflormmation'" (think forced leaks, little subtance)

He's not.  UW is his dream job.  Would never leave MU to go to UW.  I know this for fact.  Grew up with him.

He will turn Virginia into a blue blood in five years.

They will be a great addition to the B1G in a few years too.

Extremely well done Windy!  Nice.

[4everwarriors]

I down with Wooder, as a name.

[4everwarriors]

He's not.  UW is his dream job.  Would never leave MU to go to UW.  I know this for fact.  Grew up with him.

So, why don't you ring his ass up and shoot the chit 'bout our gig?

[Mutaman]

I have sources that say Phil Jackson might be interested. Rememem Phil is a small town guy and I'm sure that after a few weeks he's really tired of Manhattan. We could buy him out of his contract. 

[muhoops1]

I did when he was with the Cougars.  I figured if he wouldn't leave Pullman he ain't leaving Charlottsville.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

How ridiculous. Can you tell us the future career plans of some of your other junior high cronies? "Growing up" with somebody doesn't make you qualified to comment on his "dream job."

[muhoops1]

Just telling you what I know and think.  That's all.  I'd love to have him personally, but I think that's a stretch.  I have been wrong before.

[GooooMarquette]

So you're saying he didn't leave Pullman?  Now I'm confused.

[MU82]

I have unimpeachable sources who tell me Tony Bennett has been interviewing with Marquette's interim Pooh-Bahs in between practices and film sessions as he prepares for the next round of the NCAA tournament.

Because that kind of stuff happens all the time.
