Shaka to MU (Done deal v. 2.0)

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Could see him hanging onto Lewis because of his connections from VCU. Unsure about Dawson or DJ

I'd have to imagine of all the realistic coaching options (and frankly Shaka was not one a week ago IMO), Shaka provides the chance for the least amount of roster turnover.  He has big time name recognition (warranted or not), and I think the players will like the move.

I also think he provides the quickest transition and puts us in the best position to be good right away.

I am thrilled with the move (if it happens)

Imagine roster stays pretty intact with Shaka. Add in Joplin, maybe make a call down to Racine Cats for Tyrese.

Let's go.

Yes.  Let's go!!  All of us should be in prime attack mode.  We will be back!!

Yeah definitely agree about quick transition. It'll be interesting that's for sure.

[PGsHeroes32]

Im pumped.

Let's try and keep as much of the core as possible. Then go hunting in the portal

hmmmmm. Not sure about this hire, but at least we took a coach from a big named school instead of a stepping stone assistant.

[Tums Festival]

Would have been fine with Moser or Gates and am fine with Shaka.  Gets 100% support from me, FWIW, which ain't much.  Definite concerns but this could be a great match

My feelings exactly.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Mrs. Smart cannot be pleased

Wasn't the issue she vetoed the move because MU had no President and no AD and felt there was too many uncertainties?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Can Shaka bring his Texas recruits with him?

4* SG Tamar Bates (from FL)
4* PF David Joplin (from WI)

Texas is thrilled!

Miserable pretty boy going to be a miserable pretty boy.

[NolongerWarriors]

Could not be more disappointed.

Hire a guy who's teams underachieve in the NCAA, and whose players got outhustled and outworked.

Moser is 100X the game coach Shaka is.

Right. We were a dumpster fire for a good landing spot at that time. Especially since he didn't have to leave VCU. I imagine the "mrs shaka" part is fiction, but the former sentence is very true.

That's a good sign.

I'm gonna regret this, but what is his twitter handle?

I wanted Moser as well but that doesn't mean Shaka can't get the job done at MU.  Can you give him a chance?  This is a much different fit and situation for him.

💯 i for one will be a first time season ticket holder.  Need to support the administration for making the right moves the past couple weeks

Instantly hopeful for the future as well.

It is very possible that Moser that doesn't want to leave Loyola either.

This is my feeling as well

[NickelDimer]

I feel like I should be more excited. I've wanted Shaka for a long time but got so pumped about Moser.

Regardless LFG Shaka!!!!!
