More money....

We have more cash than VCU

Also big school with low expectations....

All the resources he needs...

Better talent pool that just needs to get locked down..

Because he had all the same things with an Illinois offer and turned it down. Illinois is a good basketball job before the conversation heads that way.

The only difference between Illinois and LSU is that he would have to walk around Chicago with bags of money for any recruit not named Jabari Parker.

Along with Detroit, one of the most corrupt scenes in any city.

Not that I think Shaka comes here.

So a guy who turns down a chance to recruit the best basketball city in America, would take a job where he gets to go scour the talents of Monroe?

He has the chance to build a better Gonzaga in talent-rich Virgina/DC/Carolina.

Why is this automatically a plus for a coach? A lot of these guys want to go places where success is expected

As an aside, is Smart going to turn into an Anthony Grant? Anthony Grant is trending downward right now if you ask me.

Smart is probably a 100 to 1 shot.

Even Bruce Pearl has better odds, imho.
