RE: Huggs Knows Best

My guess is that it has more to do with simple privacy than labels like
"non-qualifier" and "recruit" and such things. 

Right now, Pil is not on the team. He is just another student.

Subject: [UC Basketball] Huggs Knows Best


During the Radio Show last week, someone asked about the status of Mike
Pilgrim and our recruiting.  In the midst of his answer, the caller
stated how little he understood.  Huggs deadpanned - "All you need to
know, is that we know."

Question for Mike Ryan:  Since Pilgrim is a non-qualifier, does his
status revert to being considered a recruit, thus preventing Huggins
from making any comment about him?  Also, does this explain why there
has been such an awkward break with Mike - UC cannot do anything that
would be considered an extra benefit?

I wonder if Huggins would have given the same comment to this forum when
we moaning about the easy OOC schedule:  "All you need to know, is that
we know."  Could it have been that Huggins and staff realized how
difficult C-USA was going to be this year. They knew they would get all
the testing they needed,as well as all the quality games for a strong
RPI, via the conference schedule?

I don't know Chuck.  I don't know.

Go Cats!
