It has been five days since Georgetown fired John Thompson III, and though we have precious little real information emanating from search for Georgetown’s next coach, this is what we know about the rumored candidates:
Shaka Smart:
- True or not, Shaka is rumored to be Georgetown’s #1 target. While he hasn’t issued a statement suggesting he is committed to Texas, there is this reasonably legitimate report from this morning suggesting he might be staying put.
@ChipBrownHD says he's hearing #Georgetown is Shaka Smart's job if he wants it but shaka wants to stay at #Texas

Danny Hurley:
- Hurley would seemingly be choice #2, and like Shaka there hasn’t been any statement from him or Rhode Island regarding his intentions.
