Will my old prediction of Shaka Smart to Minnesota to join his former VCU AD take hold?

Interesting that AD Teague hired Shaka Smart. Interesting spot for Smart.

Nice of Goodman to include Buzz's name in the mix. Really, Buzz to Minn? Why?

"Expect Teague to take a shot at persuading Smart to rejoin him, but it's a longshot. Also expect names such as former Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders to be tossed around, but I'd be surprised if these guys don't delve into the coaching ranks. Remember, the Teague-Ellis duo is as familiar with college coaches as any administrative duo in the nation after starting up the Villa 7 years ago. Look for these guys to also see if Marquette coach Buzz Williams, who was involved with Villa 7, is interested in making a move."

Buzz needs a raise this offseason, deserves one, and I believe will get one.

Roll up the brinks truck. Keep him here. Do what Pitt just did with Jamie Dixon.
Minnesota is a crappy job, and I doubt they would even pay what MU pays Buzz right now.

As TedBaxter said, would this be a Shaka Smart destination? Would they pay enough to get him?

Buzz to Minnesota makes about as much sense as Kevin O'Neill to Tennessee....and would be about as damning an indictment if he did leave.

[TedBaxter]

Maybe Goodman is putting Buzz' name out there so the Marquette administration takes notice?

I wonder is Shaka is deciding between UCLA and this. Minny is not a bad job by any means (and VCU is basically in CAA 2.0 in new A-10), and would have not the crazy pressure of UCLA.

Bingo, Buzz needs a little respect money.
