Nah. Our recruitment of him isn't to try show why we're better than Duke or the other schools. If it was we wouldn't stand a chance. We're different. We're the hometown team. We're his family's team. And he can win here. And he can be a lottery pick after playing here. He can build a legacy here of monstrous proportions.

It would be impossible to break it down to a % but at this point we are the leaders and Duke is closely behind. It's been like this for a while.

According to Twitter all 3 of VCU's 2015 commits have asked for their release.

Yep.

They couldn't since it wasn't under 2 minutes. They missed plenty of calls on both sides, including not calling a flagrant on Lyles.

I shouldn't have used that comparison. That isn't fair. My point is I question how good of an in game coach Shaka is. And I think their program is big enough now to keep bringing in good recruiting classes. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.Do you guys think he'll be able to keep playing the same type of basketball at Texas? Will one and done type guys buy in enough to run it? I don't know, but I think they are valid questions.

If VCU makes the right hire they'll be better off in the long run. Shaka is a great motivator and seems to be a good recruiter, but he is no Rick Majerus when it comes to X's and O's. VCU is very much a national brand now and they are committed to winning. As much as I have despised Havoc at times their future is very bright IMO.

This is incorrect. Anyone who makes a statement like this is either trying to stir up or completely clueless. And it's becoming obvious which category you fit into.

You literally have no idea about any of their players.

His time at Army was nothing short of a disaster but he did take Evansville to the tournament 4 times.

I always hate bringing the board back to reality on Porter, but it's funny that some of the same people who bashed Crews all season seem to think Porter is a good coach.

The guy has recorded 2 winning seasons in 8 years coaching in the MVC. Let's pump the brakes a little here.

Marshall would seem to be a good fit but I'm not sure if that would satisfy their fan base.

Yes, he is.

Keep believing our freshmen had no talent. We'll see who was correct in the next few seasons

+1. Good post. We'll be fine.

RPI of 48 lolol. I hope you don't actually believe they deserved to get in.

Safe to say he will not be missed by the team.

I'm glad Dayton won. Boise got screwed though.

That loss is going to hurt for a long long time. What a team we had.

This is slightly surprising. I thought they made great strides this seasons and they have a lot of young talent.

Wow. Taj you are a certified moron. Only you could find a negative spin to possibly landing the #1 recruit in the nation. Just wow. I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with you on a daily basis.

Pretty poor comparison for your sake. Quinn Snyder is a heck of a coach who got his nose into the wrong things at Mizzou.

If you want to know what it's like to read through a ton of crap go look at the format used at Tigerboard.com. Having multiple threads talking about the same stuff is much much worse than just having one. Having multiple threads on the same thing also makes it easier for people to miss information and updates they are interested in.
