Grimble missed six games last
season after suffering a knee injury
at Southern California. He tried to
come back late in the year but had
not fully recovered.

After McClellan made it 59-59

Shaka Smart to become next Longhorn coach

Smart is leaving Virginia Common-

VCU sports information direc-

night that Smart was making the
move. Smart met with VCU players

to close the deal.
Smart, who has won at least 26
games in each of his six seasons at
VCU, has been one of the hottest
names in college coaching since
leading the Rams to the Final Four
in 2011. Patterson has zeroed in on
bringing Smart to Texas immediately

not immediately released and VCU
said a statement would be released
Friday. Barnes made $2.62 million
last season. Smart made $1.8 million
with the Rams.
The coach slipped into the build-
ing Thursday without speaking to the
media gathered. VCU players were
escorted from the meeting by univer-
sity public relations and did not com-
ment.
At VCU, Smart took over a pro-
gram that had had great success under
Jeff Capel, and then Anthony Grant.
Smart hopes to avoid the pitfalls at
Texas that his predecessors encoun-
tered when they left to take over
programs at universities considered
“football schools.”
