RE: Last Scholarship

[Michael Ryan]

There really is no more "keeping" of scholarships anymore with the
elimination of the 5/8 rule. The jury is still out as far as who gets
the last scholly.  Meeker is an obvious thought, if we don't sign a big
man.

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.
