Some comments so far from Schmoldt and Gagliardi on Twitter:
Schmoldt: Good crowd at Wildcatter for the Shyatt press conference. Most of players are here. Notably absent so far are Jackson and M'Baye. #gopokes
Gagliardi: Interesting note: Players with seats reserved for this include Adam Waddell, JayDee Luster, Arthur Bouedo, Cruz, Muojeke
Gagliardi: They just started handing out the "Shyatt Happens" T-shirts to people here. An 80-year old fan put one on over his sweater vest. #gopokes
Schmoldt: Burman issuing thank yous. First to his wife, for allowing him to be a pain in the ass the last couple months. #gopokes
Gagliardi: Burman said Shyatt's name was at the top of UW's list when this process started. #gopokes
Gagliardi: Shyatt said he told the currrent players he will take care of them, but also will be tough on them. #gopokes #mwcbb
Gagliardi: Shyatt telling fans the players need them now more than ever. #gopokes #mwcbb
Gagliardi: As far as on-the-court stuff, Shyatt said team will be aggressive, disciplined and unselfish. #gopokes #mwcbb
Schmoldt: Short and sweet. Mostly hit on points that he hit on during Friday teleconference. #gopokes
Gagliardi: That didn't take long. Nice, heart-felt words by Shyatt. Now bad playing again and another standing ovation. #gopokes #mwcbb

The Pokes got a lot better today. Better to let the cancers go grow somewhere else.
I wonder if Mbaye is influenced by Jackson. Jackson gone would be good. Not so much for Mbaye.
If they both leave I hope that Shyatt doesn't say a word to them - not "good luck", not "sorry your'e
leaving" -- nothing - no acknowledgement at all. Just let 'em walk out the door.

With two Shyatts and Duncan recruiting the vacancies, I'm not too worried about filling the voids - but it is getting late in the recruiting year.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.

I've wondered the same thing. Mbaye had a lot of upside and seemed to respond to a different environment. I don't think Jackson is a good fit for Shyatt since he has a strict rule against guarding someone.

IMO, if they leave then let them go. After the last 3 years, they can say...."we came, we saw, we played, we got our asses kicked!"
BAHHH-BYYYEE!
If they leave, then it shows they had less than ZERO committment to the program, to the fans, or to UW!
