    Man, you B1G guys crack me up. It's all cyclical - B1G was great this year, they'll be mediocre again soon enough.

    You guys need Romar. Might not like him right now, but the guy will be a non-stop top 5 recruiting class at Illinois.

    If he can bring Aaron Gordon and land Jabari Parker - that is a ridiculous class just with those two. Gordon is an absolute beast, and is all but locked up to go with Romar.

    Shaka is obviously waiting for something better. Like UCLA. If he can handle UCLA, he sure as shit can handle little ol illinois.

    I haven't read the whole thread but I am sure Illini recommended his 84% pure Yola dealer from the "Santa Bruta" for the coaches job.

    Don't be so sure. Shaka might go the route of Mark Few... Few is a little pussy and after years of getting curb stomped by Big 10 and Big East teams, he isn't going anywhere because he knows he can't win consistently outside of his god awful conference.

    The Big 10 has been a top 2 conference for a while now... not sure what you're talking about. They're not going anywhere.

    NC State isn't on the same level as the Illinois job... I wouldn't be surprised if Shaka turns down the UCLA job eventually too. He clearly wants to be a pink panty wearing pussy like Few.

    lol you are the biggest douche homer on this site... don't be mad that the Big 10 is far better than the big east and you have been owned in every CBB discussion we've ever had.

    10-8 in the big east and louisville is unbeatable. lol

    After the videos you've posted, you're really posting this? You look 35 because you're out of shape but yet you act like you're 14 in your videos.

    Care to make a bet on this Michigan State game with me?

    Wow. PickWAD you are a moron. Just because he turned you guys down doesn't mean you need to trash the guy. Ever think he may be happy where he's at right now or waiting for something bigger? Hate to tell you, but Illinois isn't an "elite" job. Once again, to no one's surprise, you're making yourself out to be a child and a moron.

    Define elite? It isn't top 5, but its top 10 or top 15 depending on who you ask.

    As for Shaka, hes made his choice. He'd rather stay in the CAA where there is no competition and he has no pressure because THIS was a successful season for VCU and that season for VCU would be a bad season for Illinois.

    Maybe hes waiting for something better, but even UCLA is a much easier situation in the terrible Pac-12... I doubt he wanted to be in the best conference in the country with the best coaches.

    They made the tournament and won one in it. Last Year they made the final four. C'mon man, all of your 0 national titles, 2 final fours and 3 elite 8's don't really stand up very well. (those numbers are from the modern era, you know - when the elite 8 didn't consist of simply making the tournament).

    Hell, before last year, the last time Illinois did as good as VCU this year, (winning 1 game in the dance) was 2006. You guys haven't won 27 games in a season since 2004-05. Smart has done that each year at VCU.

    GTFO with that non-sense. You're butt hurt that Smart turned you down, and publicly bitch slapped you. This is what happens when the AD has no clue what they're doing. The deal should damn near be signed before the public gets wind of it.

    Good hunting. But Illinois best asset is its natural recruiting ground. And even then, out-of-towners can come in there an poach. Stevens and Smart are waiting to land at an elite position, and be a lifer with a huge paycheck.

    I really hope his luck runs out and he never sees another contract offer like this in his life. VCU was a couple of shots away from missing the tournament entirely this year and last year so there is no guarantee an elite team like Kansas/Kentucky/Duke/UNC will ever call his number.

    HAHAHA, now I have read on your own scout site, that Craig "Michelle Obama" Robinson is at the top of the list.

    Damn, went from a prized coach, to scraps. OSU would be happy if you took him of their hands.
