RE: Huggins Lunches with Nuggets GM

[Brad Holdheide]

Cooling the fires started by the media is the exact reason Huggs should do
this!

Most recruits are 16, 17, 18 year olds.  Unless Huggins is calling them
every time a new news article comes out about him leaving UC, his recruits
may become somewhat concerned.  16-18 year old kids are vunerable to media
attacks, not to mention the other coaches that are likely to use this a ammo
against UC.  Who would you believe, one person telling you he's staying, or
a thousand people telling you there's a chance he may leave.

Every here knows how the media can start these fires without any real
evidence, but young kids in high school don't always know that. And, if
other coaches or recruiters are using this as ammo why would you believe
that they would lie to you.

Just my opinoin.
