Interesting Basketball Tidbit

[RMF5630]

Kansas State and its new coach, Bob Huggins, secured what could be the best recruiting class in college basketball yesterday with binding letters of intent from four high school players, including Michael Beasley, considered the nation's top power forward.

-- New York Times

We could have had Huggins.  He did this at K-State!  Not exactly a B-Ball hot spot.  We should of jumped on him when we had the chance.

Nah, we are holding out for Coach K. It is all water under the bridge now.

[Rabbi Bull]

we never even wanted him, and there was not an opening for head coach here last season.  get off of huggins jock and leave him be.  we don't want somebody with his bad rep here.

[RMF5630]

Yeah, we wouldn't want someone who has built a winner at another similar school and is THE best recruiter in the country.  Especially when we have a coach that has been so successful.  Final Four here we come.  

A big part of success is recognizing opportunities.

No, we NEVER had a chance to get him. The story in Tribune was a plant just to get Huggins' name out in the media again.

His recruiting tactics have already been questioned since he's been at Kansas State, he has health issues and was arrested for drunk driving after having a massive heart attack. Yeah, sounds like the guy we need  :.

flsprtsfan,

You seem like a guy that really cares about USF...your words are sometimes harsh, but I think we've all been there, including me.

I think you should let go of this Huggins thing.  It is the absolute honest truth that there was no opportunity for him to come here.  There was a hoax put on by the Huggins camp to make it look like a possibility.  In fact, the same hoax played out here in Phoenix for the ASU job.  There was a false market created to spur on talks with K-State and others.  These are facts.

Other facts include that our Basketball program is not where we all want it to be.  The way to get it there is not to beat a dead horse that turned out to be a jackal.  The right path is to be positive, and to support what we currently have and to help with constructive ways to affect changes down the road.

Believe me, those that keep harping on this Huggins falsity have no idea how much credibility they lose and how gullible they look.

You're involved with Athletics aren't you?  You should leverage that relationship, not destroy it.  Through constructive and informed dialogue you can change minds.

: What is your proof of this.

: What is your proof of this.

Show me one article where it says that DW had contacted Huggins, or that Huggins contacted USF. The Tribune article never stated Huggins was contacted by a USF administrator, nor did Huggins initiate any contact to USF.
