Last Scholarship

[Harris, Derek C]

With CJ Giles stating that Cincy is
his option at the moment, Will
Huggins give this last scholarship to
another big man?  Or will he keep it
for next years class?

You're preachin to the choir!  We all know this and feel the same way.  Try
telling this to the ESPN and other media schmucks who consistently report UC
in a negative manner.

This kind of crap is so old and such bull $^*#  it drives me crazy.  The
controling force of sports media (ESPN, Thanks Bob Ley) reports something
that is not true six years ago and people still take it to the bank that
that is the way it is.  It is not the way it is.  Anyone who wants to take 5
minutes to study the basketball program at UC will see a coach who preaches
family and deeply cares about the kids that are in it.  Not just while they
are playing ball here also, after they leave to go to the pros or into the
rest of their lives.  He is there for them then as well.  The alumni
certainly do seem to be in contact with him a great deal to talk about their
lives and to check up on him.  There are certainly a great deal of graduate
photos on the walls of the basketball office.  What is our graduation rate
the last several years???  I never hear that brought up.  Only the
irresponsible journalism of Bob Ley, Tony Kornheiser and others on ESPN also
known as KARP (Kiss Ass of Rick Pitino).  The only piece of the puzzle that
network is missing to spread the mis information about UC is Armein Katayan
(sp) from CBS.  Report the truth and facts.  It is done for other colleges.
