VT fans are trying to tell me that this is proof of Wojo taking the VT job

https://twitter.com/techlunchpaild/status/1112178966138404864?s=21

Thoughts?

First off doesn’t he live in Mequon?
And wouldn’t he fly out of MKE?

I was landing today and I did hear this plane taking off from the Mke area. I know MU used to use a charter company out of Chicago executive previous to ours, wonder if that’s where this plane is from?

Either way, not worried about it

Probably the strangest part is that somebody created a twitter account just to send that tweet to me. Literally follows nobody, 0 followers and sending me that is his only tweet. (I was explaining to some VT fan why I didn’t think Wojo would leave MU and this guy replies out of nowhere)

Edit: I definitely made it onto a Va Tech message board somewhere. 3,000+ impressions with a couple of my tweets, which were replies to a guy with 300 followers. They’re (rightfully) freaking out.

I’ve always assumed Wojo would grab the Wake Forest job after 5 years at MU. IMO, Va Tech is a little beneath his blue blood roots.

My sources tell me that Wojo to VT and Buzz back to MU is pretty much a #donedeal. Buzz is also bringing on Shaka Smart and Mick Cronin as assistants.

Seeing Wojo and VaTech thrown around a lot on the twitter sphere.

Question, didn’t Buzz also live in Mequon? Did he ever sell his house?

Isn’t the perfect time for Buzz to head back to a place he lived six years to catch up on things and old friends is immediately after the season ends and before he switches jobs.

Buzz to A&M, Wojo stays st MU, VT back to irrelevance.

Can you share any of those Twitter posts? I cannot find anything on the topic.

I am trying hard to find a link on this Scoop and cannot find a thing. I think this is a non story.

With the meltdown he produced this year, his blue blood roots have wilted significantly

Pretty stunning that the writer listed three names and the only one he spelled right was Steve Wojciechowski.

VT 247 VIP board. Their writer Matej said “wojo gaining steam” last night & their other writer follow up with the attached screenshot, fwiw

Maybe that flight is the MU staff headed down to sign up grad transfer Kerry Blackshear

Three programs all have much better traditions and two of those coaches have rebuked better offers than VTech.

I mean...in SOME ways, I could see Wojo tempted to go to Va Tech..for one...the ACC where his roots are, 2nd...the surrounding area is talent rich, 3rd..he'd be much closer to home. The downside that might weight heavily would be Coaching against Coach K every year. That being said, I don't think he'd get offered the job anyway.

MUfan12 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 31, 2019, 09:52:17 AM »

Still think if Cronin wants it, he gets that job.

This I agree with...his job to lose IMO.

I kinda agree here.
Also I can’t honestly say VaTech is a better gig than MU. Sure higher profile conference.
But MU has a new stadium, great facilities, spends a ton on b-ball, it’s a b-ball first school, and constant pro connections at the Fiserv.

Lastly I think MKE (if MU can be solid again next year) could become a solid basketball city for a while with how the a bucks are doing.

Sorry goose. I don’t have much else. Other than other people throwing his name out.

This would be unfortunate to start over again.

Virginia Tech made the NCAA’s twice in 26 years prior to Buzz.

With Buzz, they have made it 3 straight. Through 5 seasons, Buzz has won 2 NCAA games (both this year, none his first 4 seasons there). Buzz won 8 NCAA games his first 5 seasons at Marquette.

Timing is good for Buzz to make the move. He will lose a lot of players this year. He previously turned down offers while at both Virginia Tech and MU because he had it going and had it lined up to do well the following season(s).

He can go A&M, a good fit for him. He can turn it around quickly there. after the 5-6 years he can either stay long term or keep trying to do the same thing somewhere else.

Viginia Tech has a good, popular AD, Whit Babcock. He will likely find a solid replacement.

This feels like a good time to remind people how rumor circle jerks work.

One person throws a rumor out into the world, they could do it by telling a few people or blast it on social media. That rumor reaches x number of people. Those people then call their "people in the know" to ask about the rumor. Reality is, most people's "people in the know" are not people with direct knowledge of the rumor. Instead, they are people who have also heard the rumor from the same source. So while they should say "I have no direct knowledge of this" they instead say "I also heard that rumor, there must be something to it." Those people then tell X more number of people and the process continues until the rumor is widely talked about regardless of the rumor having any legs or not.

Maybe Wojo is talking to VT. More likely he is on somebody's wish list and one "insider" got a hold of that wish list and started the rumor circle jerk process.
