Shaka's first test is to try to keep guys like Carton / Garcia. They have a good foundation, but it never amounted to much. I think Smart is a risk, but while Marquette is a very good job, its not a top job, so you playing from a different group of candidates than Indiana, Texas, Duke, etc. Smart will have everything he needs to succeed here (top facilities, top 10 program in terms of how much $ is invested, etc) so if it doesn't work out, its on him.
