Has Smart commented on his top assistant leaving?

[Milwarriorkee]

This is being discussed on scout board (sort of). I have not seen any comment on Rhodes getting the Rice job. That is odd, no?

[klyrish]

I don't think Shaka has said a word about anything to anyone since last week at the earliest.

[Eldon]

I can't tell hoax from reality at this point, but apparently the assitant's plane broke down and, well, coinidentally, he is still at VCU until at least tomorrow

EDIT: i.e., he may not have left (again, not sure if hoax)

Silence is golden You would think if really is staying for sure 100%, he or someone notable on VCU's side would have said something. Maybe that is too much to expect

The only thing we're hearing at this point are crickets. Probably a good thing.

silence reminds me of the past few years with Buzz and SMU, OK and others.  We never heard him say a word cause he was probably in talks with them.

It does seem odd that there has been no public sightings or comments coming from Shaka despite Rhodes leaving for Rice.  Maybe he just likes to keep a low profile around campus (unlike past MU coaches) so his absence isn't out of the ordinary.

He was quoted in the Rice Press release. great hire, tireless worker, blah, blah, blah.

Well there goes that theory!    Thanks for the info.

Press release. Doesn't mean he actually said a damn thing to anyone.

[GOO]

At least IWB said "I have not disappeared"... may Shaka could come out with a statement like that.

I have to say, that is a classic IWB statement.  Reminds me of "I am not dead" statements from time to time and Mark Twain.

Rhoades' profile is still up on the VCU website.  They must be waiting to make changes until they know who else is leaving.  Why make multiple changes?
