    I think Shaka Smart has been rumored for just about every coach opening in the last 5 years.

    That is true. The Texas job is one of the few that I think could lure him, but it's still a different world from VCU.

    Some speculation that Tennessee might be a good fit for Rick Barnes. Unsure if there's anything legit behind that talk though.

    Yeah, some job will eventually be enough to lure him away from VCU. Not sure if Texas will be enough. He's basically set for life at VCU now. He can wait for as long as necessary and pick his desired perfect job.

    I agree. UT has the resources and talent but if they aren't in the Sweet 16 more often than not (plus top two in conference every year), Smart (or whomever the next hire is) will get canned in five years. Great job but tough expectations. Barnes will land on his feet very quickly.

    Texas lands Shaka Smart. I think the rumor is five-year, $17M.

    Never though I'd see him leave VCU. Man was set up for life there.

    I never thought I'd see him leave there, until Duke was open.
    The dude abides.

    Most believe the "opening" is reserved for a former K player or Brad Stevens.

    Told the girlfriend that the days of KU's conference-championship streak are numbered. I got a death stare.

    Texas could be a dangerous program but so far no one has been able to put it together and keep the top notch Texas talent for heading to etc...

    Hell even has outrecruited the horns recently.

    I like Shaka but if memory serves he has NEVER won a regular season conference title.

    They did win the A10 Conference Championship tournament this past March.

    Yeah I know he has won a conference tourny or maybe even 2. :VCU: actually finished 4th in the A-10 this season. I do not think the Rams have ever won the regular season title or at least since Shaka has been there.

    We shall start a new thread in October - of course I'd be willing to discuss the off-season news - but I doubt many (if any) here follow college hoops that closely

    receives notice of allegations from the NCAA re: the Af-Am / Swahili / no show classes that the athletes took for 20+ years.

    Looks like a favorite if not the #1 pre-season team next season may get a ban hammer laid down on them barring them from post-season play.
