Worth a watch (at 1.25 speed). He gives some interesting nuggets on the philosophy, and new guys. Also, Dodds was on mute again which is hilarious.

Dodds starting the Shaka era 0 for 2.

Great press conference.

Very funny that the mute issue happened to Dodds a second time, but he actually asked a pretty good question.

Said Buzz built his roster with 2 PGs, 2 Cs and 9 switchables. Wojo built his team around his best player each year (allegedly...lol).

Shaka didn't say a word about Wojo's scheme, but alluded to the fact that we will be having a team that looks a lot like Buzz' teams even if that means playing a smaller guy at the 4 (Morsell type of player) who is a nightmare for other teams to matchup against.

Also, I definitely get the sense Greg, Dexter, and Perez are on the way out. Shaka answered in very good depth for multiple minutes about every question except the question about meeting some of the other guys besides Dawson and Oso. Gave a general 10 second answer. Oso will for sure be a part of the team.

That's too bad about Greg if true. He's got a great attitude, is a good locker room guy and really came on in a starting role at the end of the season.

Loved him talking about oso and itejere as "5's". Long enough to play that spot and an athletic mismatch for other teams.

Warrior1969 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 15, 2021, 05:44:23 PM »

I simply don't see Akonno or Perez playing, period. Greg I think would be great to have for a year for experience and leadership.

I love how many new media members are Zooming in to get the Shake Take.

What's the word on Bates? Are we still going after him?

Daniel · « **Reply #9 on:** April 15, 2021, 07:44:29 PM »

It was a good presser and he answered most of the questions thoroughly - except for the your over your scholarship limit now - basically what will happen. Shaka just said things keep changing, Garcia is texting the waters and we fully support that, he was ready to sit with Symir and Symir changed his mind...... so no answer. Bottom line is, she he reaffirmed Kan and Stevie are coming, and spoke about OSA playing- one or more of Greg, Dexter, Juan is leaving. Seems logical. So why aren’t they or one of them in the portal?

On zoom calls with lots of participant you want your mic muted until you speak. Only makes sense to silence background noises etc. So, no worries for Dodds. Lol

On the guys leaving he basically said there were guys who already let him know. I imagine they're talking to parents or former HS coaches.

Sorry haven't watched the presser. Shaka said there are current players on the roster that have let him know they are leaving?

That is what he implied in the last question asked by Steele which was basically - with today's signing you're over allowed scholarships, how are you going to address that. Shaka's answer was that like in any coaching change there are people that aren't as comfortable and some have already talked to me about that.

He also said he hoped to announce his coaching stafff officially soon, any more smoke on the final slot?

He wanted Symir.....

Well he was going to meet with Sy, but that did not happen as Sy went with His home town Cuse. Did Shaka want Sy? Well, neither Shaka or us will ever know.

He said he wanted Sy and at last minute Sy changed his mind. Maybe Shaka was lying?

No worries, Country Roads is simply talking out his butt.
