RE: Huggins Lunches with Nuggets GM

[Brad Holdheide]

Are we absolutely sure that it hasn't or isn't hurting his recruiting.  If
you're a big-time recruit and you have all kinds of media outlets
(newspaper, internet, radio, tv) reporting that Huggins is looking at an NBA
positions, then 5 other college coaches are backing up these reports, it's
hard to know who to believe.  With this many people all telling you
something different, it may just be easier to pick a different school that
doesn't have a coaching controversy every year.

I just think if Huggs is gonna stay here at UC, then he needs to show his
committment by not constantly putting himself in situations like this.  He
should dispel any rumors immediately by flat out stating "I am not leaving
UC, this was just a lunch to discuss I-Mac and Logan", otherwise we have no
other reason to not belive that there's a chance he may leave.
