At this rate, I don't want to hire any coach. I would love this version of GH 24/7.

Hi all. I am not at Bogarts, but I can give you a very small peak into certain things. For instance:
http://www.vcuramnation.com/forums/...-norwood-at-minnesota.8950/page-4#post-180680
http://boards.caazone.com/showthread.php?125619-Tubby-Out-at-MINN-Smart-In&p=1877314#post1877314

In the first link, note the confirmation of the OP's hunch, and note the title of the poster doing the confirming. Also, note the day and year. Shaka and Norwood didn't part on good terms. That's just the truth. It's not something that either side puts out there because there's no point to it, it's unprofessional, and the world of Athletic Directors and D1 basketball coaching is a small fraternity. How often do you hear a coach publicly ripping his former employer or vice versa? Trust a guy who registered all of two days ago to post "inside" info, or trust one of many posts on Ram Nation (including those by moderators and co-founders) that were made nearly a year ago.

There are the pretenders and the contenders. Shaka's name would have been thrown out there no matter what, just as it was with UCLA. It's part of due PR diligence for programs in search of a coach. There are no links or sources for this, but look to the "Crossroads." There have already been some departures...
 

I haven't posted here since the Kill hire but I had to comment on this thread - I've been laughing out loud all night. Talk about entertainment.
 





I have nothing to say to Pav, he knows what I think about him. I've told him this in real lie and I'll tell him here. I think hes a vile pathetic man who should spend a hecka lot more time on a treadmill than staking the VCU bball team. If he has a problem with that well he knows where I stay he can come raise an objection.

And if Shaka comes to MN of course I'll be around here as I'll be making MN my new home.

No offense, but I read the posts and there is nothing concrete in them to support your arguments. You may be right in the end, but nothing in the links sways me one way or the other
 



I don't know if this picture will come through. You will clearly see one of my specialists wearing the Twins hat.

It's not happening on my iPhone. This guy is not coming. Sorry to get GH in a frenzy.

Cool, will your name be "Friend of Shaka"?

Also, how do you respond to the post that said you have to be a troll if you aren't supportive of Pav? They suggested you were from another university. Also, is your screen name the same on the VCU site, and if so, why do they characterize you as a troll?

To be clear, I want to believe you, but...

Ok, the question is can you get them to stay up past midnight EST? That would be one for the books.

Also, $5 says this guy's IP address is located near one of the following areas:

Seriously, mods, take me up on it! Check's in the mail if they are located in the actual city of Richmond...

Also, how impressive is Maya Smart? Not only is she busy furiously begging for Shaka not to drag her and her Richmond-born daughter to Minnesota, she's finding time to blog and tweet about the Shaka Smart basketball camp (of which she's the director).

Listen, Pav is a stalker plain and simple. I have a very deep connection deep within the VCU bball program. I'm not a "fan" nor do I come from another university. The truth is Pav is very very fat and creeps the players out. I've had a few over the years ask me if they should be worried about him following them home at night. If he ever stepped at me it'd be over in 2.1 seconds flat.

How do you explain your VaTech prediction on other boards in the past... Just keep posting though please.. But you have to know that we aren't that gullible here in Minnesota. We don't believe you know what you're talking about as NO ONE in that INNER CIRCLE would search for a Gopher Message Board and leak information. Your a Joke. But HILARIOUS!!!

None taken. You were expecting a diary? Not gonna happen. Consider it, or trust the DEEP INSIDER who is so deep he's up at 11PM talking trash about VCU's superfan. Come on now.
 

I'd like to think that all of our VCU visitors are one person, one comedic mastermind
