[QUOTE="VA Illini Chief, post: 1299309, member: 4485"] Being someone who works at VCU (and understanding the A10 culture to some degree) I am convinced that John Groce would actually be a great fit at Dayton. I don't think they really want him as he is not the name they are looking for, but he could definitely succeed there. The A10 has a few good teams at the top, but those teams struggle against P5 schools. Look at VCU this year - lost badly to our Illini on a neutral court and lost at home to an average Georgia Tech team. Yet VCU still comfortably secured a bid to the tourney. Groce is a good recruiter, a great person, knows Ohio, and could do well against that competition while at least knowing the battles of playing Big 10 schools. I like the fit and wish Groce the best - give Groce a great X's & O's guy on his staff and he can do well. Nothing bad to say about Groce here, but I am loving our new coach already and am expecting great things! [/QUOTE]
