re: Per mascona alleva met with either smart or bennett today

Shaka is not leaving VCU. I live in richmond and am a season ticket holder. He has already finished recruting for 2012 and only looking for one more player for '13. Illinois offered 2.5 mil and he turned that down. he is from wisconsin so it would make a lot more sense that he would go to a big 10 school when he does leave. He is very happy here and so is his wife. he has made a committment to the program. Vcu is getting ready to start building a new practice facility. Shaka said "I am happy here and i dont have any reason to leave. We love it here." VCU was one of only 6 schools in the country to sell out every home game this past season. 19 straight sell outs and a basket away from the sweet 16. four returning starters and a very good recruiting class coming in. Sorry folks - its NOT about the money with Shaka.
