Strength Coach Dan Roose coming back to VCU!!!!
- Thread starter duncanlamb
- Start date
Maybe he wanted to see who it was on the other side. Pretty sure Texas Men's Basketball will be just fine. Hopefully Roose is happy and the guys are happy with him.He must have known that before he went to Texas. Probably best for the strength and conditioning coach to get while the getting is good. ?

Just hope the change up between the two strength and conditioning coaches isn't too great. Nonetheless, good to have back someone who knows VCU and understands our culture and what is expected. And having been part of a major conference with major football, Roose has probably learned a few things (both basketball and football) that may be helpful for us. Also, glad to have someone coming in before or just as the current guy leaves is certainly a big plus and will help make the transition smoother

This is his dream job I heard.
Wow, this is HUGE! Roose was a key part of Shaka's success here. We had a good S&C coach, now we have one of the best.
To the worry worts on here, if this was not a great move for Coach Roose and for VCU Basketball, would either have made such a significant move?

Mike Rhoades continues to attract and build one one of the best coaching staff's in the country

I am elated for Coach Roose to return and I wish the very best to Coach Brown! It is obvious that Coach Brown was a very successful Coach with our players. I mean the extraordinary transformations I saw were overwhelming, more like scary?
Then Roose wins. If this is really what he prefers then we both are better for it. Also, given he's seen the bright lights of the so called big time, he's not likely to swayed in the future.
Win, win for us all.
While Texas basketball has not been up to par as a whole (love Shaka but those are the facts) the development of their big men have been incredible even for power 5 standards. Jarrett Allen, Mohamed Bamba, and Jaxson Hayes stories make a big difference when recruiting players like Obinna, Elijah Taylor, and Christian Fussell.

Be interesting to hear what their philosophical differences are with respect to size and strength gain methods.
Most of those kids were going to be “one and done” regardless.......drafted on size/potential. They didn’t exactly tear it up at Texas. Allen/Hayes’ physiques weren’t particularly impressive. Shaquille Cleare certainly wasn’t in shape a few yrs back. Agree, though, with your basic premise.
