Someone wake KO up and tell him to be dialing.
 
Last report I read was off the Texas board. There were tweets stating players left the meeting dejected.

Pretty sure Mack would need to be released before coaches can make contact.
 
Odd how things work, a lot of coaches used Ollie possibly leaving to get players...

All I wanted was to read the VCU board and lick their tears Scott Tenorman style but the board crashed. Bummer.

I was actually surprised how fast that Shaka Watch thread grew. It started on Sunday I think and was already at 2000+ posts by Wednesday.

But I'm with you. Too bad it crashed.

Richmonders arent very happy about this move, but i havent talked to a single person that cant understand it. At some point money talks! Good for Shaka!
 
I get a kick out of their "VCU is bigger than Shaka. The program is the destination now" attitude.

It's a destination for coaches who want to move on after a few years to something bigger. Honestly though they have done a very good job improving things under Smart and should be considered one of the best mid-major destinations on the East Coast.
 
Heckuva hire for Texas. Rick Barnes held that program back for so long, the athletic department was doing the college basketball universe a favor by keeping him around for so long. I imagine Smart will take that program to new heights since he can actually, you know, coach during a basketball game. We know recruiting won't be an issue.

Kicking VCU fans when they're down. Classy move, guys. After all, who were they to be happy they won a recruiting battle against us?!?!?!?!

Smart has turned into an average at best in game coach on both sides of the court. He has all the ingredients though to bring in the type of recruiting classes that put an end to the Kansas will win the Big12 every year mentality. It will be interesting to see if he backs off the Havoc Style now that his potential gene pool for talent increases. If A & M can land the class they just got then Texas & Smart should have a field day.

You have to expect a major fall out from his departure causing that program to live in basketball purgatory for the next 100 years. The statement being...even with a 25M practice facility being built and 2 top recruiting classes in consecutive years it is evident VCU has become nothing more than a proving ground. Smart ditched them and left the program to literally die.
