Yep. It's simply what happens. And obviously it doesn't mean the Shaka-Marquette marriage will last until 2030. He could take us to great heights and leave, with his new employer paying the buyout; or things could go bad, fans could start booing him, and rich MU alums would pay the buyout.

Still, it sends a positive message to recruits -- Shaka can look them in the eye and honestly say, "I just signed an extension through what would be your entire time at Marquette" ... and that's worth something.

No.  Some of us were absolutely baffled by the amateur hour move made be the former incompetent "leadership" at MU. 

Extending Shaka?  No-brainer, and totally deserved and earned.

To be fair, the extension helped improve the quality of recruiting in the last couple of years of Wojo's tenure.  There is an element of truth to the idea that better recruits were unwilling to commit to a coach who didn't have a longer-term contract in place.

That's changed somewhat now that immediate eligibility for transfers is in place.

Yup.  Whether Wojo was killing it at Marquette or was awful, you don't just let a college coach's contract expire.  That's just not how it works.

Correct.  Which is why getting upset about an extension is silly.  We don't know the details of the extension.  It could make it easier for the school to get out of the coach's contract.  But you can still tell recruits "I'm signed through XXXX."

And in the end, Wojo's 2019 extension hardly got in the way when it came time to cut ties less than two years later.

Nah. We’d have no prob terming a contract early, at a high cost. We just shelled out over $9 million for a guy to take a walk 3 years early

We? We?

OK, seriously....Shaka has silenced all doubters other than trolls like nolonger and other whackos. I cannot imagine a scenario where Marquette says "adios, amigo".

I get that...probably wasn't clear in my point.  People are questioning the terms of the contract...I'm saying it's easy for the coach to walk...not so cheap/easy for the school to walk.  It seemed like people were alluding to the possibility that the contract was extended but in a meaningless way that wouldn't make MU more in debt to Shaka.  Shaka came to the table with all the power in this one...

Shaka just had one of the better interviews I've ever seen regarding his extension and outlook ahead for this team.

Typically great press conference from Shaka. Second half is where things get interesting.

Loved the Sir Mohammed shout out. Wonder if they timed up this announcement with his visit. Could be an indication they’re very serious about him.

Sure sounds like MU is not hitting the transfer market.

I think the fits would be limited, but could be pursued if they exist. Wouldn’t be some dude looking for a starting role
