Not by that much. I thought Monta was way more athletic than he was too until I saw him play for the first time in person last year. He did a spin move to split a double and I'm still not sure I saw what I saw; went up off two feet and dunked with relative ease. That alone was worth the price of admission.
think dude owns a couple of hotels. that loss won't hurt him.
This. He doesn't want to coach in college. He still feels like his job was stolen from him in the Bay; and it's even harder to swallow with all the success GS is having.

I just think shaka needs to go to a basketball school. where recruits want to go like a syracuse. boheim might be out in the next 3 years anyway. why not wait for a better opening. and lets be real. shaka will not be given the long leash that barnes had. posting mediocre seasons. It would be a battle to see who gets fired first charlie strong or shaka.

he's being paid well by VCU so I can see him staying and waiting. it'll probably come down to how much texas is gonna throw at him.

Easy 250K if he hedges it correctly.
I think Shaka going to Texas would be a good fit for him. Not a ton of pressure, has some time to do his thing, can get paid.
Same thing with Marshall to Bama (don't see it happening, but it could) ...not a lot of pressure and has time to make things happen, then go to a Blue Blood if things go well at Bama.

Still a bit skeptical of the Mullin hire, but this probably means that Diallo ends up at St. John's

Shaka needs to make that move to Texas...He has done a great job with VCU, but they have a ceiling. They will always be able to compete with the best teams in the country, but he still won't be able to get the recruits that he would get if it were a bigger school.
None of the top tier jobs are going to be open for a few years. Syracuse is the closest to opening up, but I actually think Texas is a better job. Great city, great facilities and lower expectations than I think they'd have at Cuse.

shaka would breathe new life into a syracuse program that needs a young energetic coach like himself. Texas to me hit their ceiling with barnes from 03-08. I just don't see that program becoming anything greater than what barnes was able to do.

Great addition. Kid is a class act and one of the hardest workers in the NCAA.

Man what?
Barnes was a horrible coach and still able to bring in 5 star guys, Shaka will have no problem reviving that program especially with all the money and resources they have flowing in Austin.

Interesting article about kids and why you won't see jersey numbers 6,7,8,9 on them. Never knew this - http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/31/s...-hand.html?ref=sports&_r=1&smid==tw-nytsports

That would put a smile on my face, knowing they struck out on PJ Dozier and Bryant Crawford

I understand Martin going pro, but Mickey will measure out at 6'7 and his offensive game is a work in progress

Just heard a great stat on Kentucky...(and I don't want this to seem like I am taking shots at UK...they're great, phenomenal)...
Doug Gottlieb said on a radio station in KC that Kentucky has been phenomenal on defense, but in their first 37 games (this stat was before the Notre Dame game, not sure where it is now) ...they have played against only THREE top 50 offenses in the country. North Carolina (23rd) is the best, Eastern Kentucky and Vanderbilt are the others.
Needless to say, this match-up of UK and Wisconsin is going to be very very interesting.
