Shaka Smart meeting with his players now. I should have news ~10pm.*

It's his life. It's financial security and a chance to excell at

a national school. Still, it saddens me. I wish he would have stayed and told Texas "Thanks, but I have my dream job here at VCU."
 
It's official.

I feel sorry for the VCU recruits who committed to Smart but that's the way it goes in big time college athletics. It's a business. Coaches leave when better opportunities come along because they "...have to do what's for my family". Well then, so too should the players. One and done, two and done or whatever. When your stock is high, cash out.

Texas hires Shaka Smart
 
Because we talk about everything on this board. Why do ....

you bang on a guy for putting a sports topic on a football/news/opinion message board? How about the guy that post the live action of the baby Eagles? I am really not trying to be a wise guy but I just don't understand why
anybody would bang on another poster for posting information.
 
Re: Because we talk about everything on this board. Why do ....

Agree. If you don't like a topic, just move on to the next thread.
 
I guess I could look it up, but who is Shaka Smart and why....

...do we care that he's meeting with his players?

And, is "Shaka Smart" a real name?
 
Longhorns now Strong and Smart, what's next...

a baseball coach named Rich?
 
Think James Franklin when at Vandy....rising star in coaching

He's done great things at a non-traditional power, VCU

Texas has the elements for great success in hoops, now appear to have a coach who can lead them
