I do know he just signed a new contract with VCU to start this year, so I don't know if he is locked in, or even willing to leave at this point. His coaching style would be a sharp contrast to most in the Big Ten and I personally believe he would be a perfect fit at Illinois..... I can only dream.......

There is no reason to leave either. VCU only has 1 senior this year, and has a bunch of freshman, sophomore, and incoming freshman that will make this team very competitive the next few years. He's also a legend in the Richmond area already. He has absolutely no pressure and I could see him pulling a Mark Few or Brad Stevens and staying here for a very long time.

He already thinks, perhaps correctly, that he has the best program in the Commonwealth, and seems to be committed to turning VCU into the Gonzaga of the mid-Atlantic.

First off, where exactly is Haith going? Second, Missouri is not middle of the pack. If they are, then the SEC is apparently stronger in basketball than they are in football.
