SHAKA! SHAKA! SHAKA! - LET'S BE POSITIVE. WE'RE STILL ALIVE!

No sources, he's just hoping for the best.

That's what I thought, but oh well.

Shaka didn't even ask for more money from VCU in turning down us and Marquette...

Let's see where Manning and Shaka stand comparatively in five years. Manning has the opportunity and resources at Wake to make Shaka an afterthought by then.

I'm feeling good about this one, guys.

200k? Sounds like they had no money within the department to offer more and some booster(s) is(are) kicking in a "small" check(s) to write up this feel good story for VCU fans. I don't blame them, but 200k to an bball program is peanuts.

 

[qcdeac]

Good for Shaka. I wish him and VCU well.

 

[KidA23]

Still hasn't publicly declined our offer, guys. Let's hang in there.

Absolutely possible. For all we know when VCU made him an HC at age 35 or whatever it was, he promised he wouldn't leave. He's entitled to stay if he wants, and it doesn't reflect poorly on us or him. I'm glad RW stepped up, made the offer, and made it a good one, and I assume he and Shaka have a stronger relationship from it. Things change over the years, and another opportunity to work together may be down the road. For now, wish him well, and Danny even better!

Not a problem. I'm still holding out hope for Lance Thomas.

 

[deaconpirate]

I don't think for a second he is staying at VCU. H is just waiting for Roy, K, or Calipari etc to retire or leave.

 

[morrison2951]

May happen sooner than we think as pertains to Cal.

Only 1 year left

Your wife isn't done with me yet......In case you didn't know, I am your daddy.

lol

 

[wakephan09]

My buddy just called me. Shaka just signed with Marquette for 6 years. Doc Rivers is on the Marquette BOT. He and Shaka and are good friends. Apparently, Doc closed the deal.

Strong #MapleSources here.

[RacerDeac]

Give his wife immediate tenure!!!!

Lol. As if the idea of RJ having "inside sources" on Shaka, adding to all of the other made up bullshit he claims, isn't funny enough, his insistence that we tenure Shaka's wife as part of the proposed deal makes this thread a real gold mine.

What does she teach at Texas?
