Have you forgotten how many medical issues he had? wasn't even able to stand on the sidelines at one point. Not to mention those last four years were trending down

Nope. If he thinks he's healthy, there's no one out there who's even close. Multiple Final Fours, top NCAA seeds, & an elite recruiter. And trending down was still 70 wins in a three year span. He's also only 51. If you can bring in a guy who's a few good years from the Hall of Fame, you do it.

So what's a actual logical list of VT coaches? I don't even think Cronin will follow Buzz.

Ryan Odom? Dawkins?

Let me correct the rumors.

A plane did go from Va to Gary. A limo transported passengers to Hammond. Wojo in Hammond too.

Will forever be known as the Frog Legs Summit.

This has got to be the worst circle jerk I've seen in Scoop's history.

Some no-name blog tweets about a plane leaving Waukesha for Roanoke. Then tracks a flight from Gary to Roanoke and writes a blog post about how it's got to be wojo... Only citing its own Waukesha>Roanoke tweet as an additional source.

Sh!t, I have more integrity than that blog. VT fans, not suprisingly, and some of you are moronic.

I'm not saying it's true at all, but did you read the thread I posted...there is an insider at their 247 board saying it's done..and I don't think his is based off any plane stuff.

Don’t forget this blog’s Twitter account also had less than 100 followers.

I would be blown away on several levels if this turns out to be true.   Ultimately what it would say to me though is there is something wrong with the direction of MU basketball that two coaches could not tolerate and left the program.  If that is true MU Bball is in a very dark hole.

I would be utterly astounded if this was true.  Completely.  It just doesn't make sense on any level.  Which means, if it happens, you're correct that there is something very, very wrong.  But it's not happening.

I'm astounded that the VT boards don't even have 1 or 2 pesky voices asking "Are we sure Wojo to VT is true?" or "Why are we going to pay a guy $3.5 million that's never won an NCAA game"? Very different atmosphere than our beloved MU Scoop.

That said, they are so convinced Wojo is being hired I'm beginning to think it might be possible.

If it is he's a lying scumbag who used us to cut his chops without a huge return for us. If it's not leaving he's a loyal coach who truly wants to take us to the next level

Ha, don’t get sucked into that vortex. Group mentality has firmly taken over their board. Truly astounding that no one is questioning sources. Quite the case study in confirmation bias.

MarquetteMBB retweeted The Athletic links to a few stories. One of them VERY briefly mentions Markus as one of the best players in CBB (as voted by his peers). The other has a paragraph or 2 on Wojo being one of a few coaches to make their first final 4 soon.

Feels like they wouldn't endorse this article if he was leaving.

I keep asking why Wojo would leave for VT that needs to be rebuilt (meaning go get paid to suck again) when he has his guys here now, and if everyone returns, he will have another top 10 team and unfinished business at the end of the year.

Now if Wojo's guys are bailing on MU it would make sense, but I've seen nothing on this front.

Then I remembered that Crean bolted for I4 and left behind a top 10 team.

Question, why did Crean leave when he had a loaded team returning?  Was it about Crean's belief that I4 would be a major upgrade?  (note it was not, Crean was at MU for 9 years and I4 for 9 years and his record was nearly identical.  Crean is what he is, the school doesn't change that.)

All of them. I promise you that there is a list of potential targets in a vault somewhere in Zilber in case Wojo gets another calling.

Agreed x 1000. Doesn’t seem as though many folks are considering how improbable it is to leave a supportive program and stacked class for...Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech is a weak program and that’s not in dispute—they simply benefited from having a great coach for 5 years on a layover before he decided to “upgrade.”

Don’t forget that Wojo used to field head coaching calls pretty frequently at Duke, but was waiting for the Duke job to open. After K decided he wanted to keep coaching, Wojo chose a program that he thought paralleled certain things about Duke. Virginia Tech, on the other hand, has none of those things, and was and is a plain downgrade Buzz’s decision to go there was an anamoly that depended on many factors lining up perfectly in VaTech’s favor. It’s not Indiana, it’s not Indiana.

Frankly, it’s embarrassing to even have to write this.

 I hope SH can keep Willard.  As much as I hated that BET game, I don't want them to become Depaul 2.0.

My favorite part about the VTScoop thread is that Mark Miller posted "Why in the world would he leave for the Virginia Tech job?"

Agreed. SH needs Willard so I can keep hating them.
