RE: Scholarships available for 2005 class

Maybe Bob will bring them into the Shoe and have them play a little one on 
one.  Better yet maybe they will play two on two and split up Hicks and 
Mad Max.  I'd pay to see those matchups.

RE: [UC Basketball] Scholarships available for 2005 class






I agree, I believe Huggins is changing
the way he recruits.  In the past he
recruited the bigger & stronger players
to fit his style of play, but after
watching what happened against ETSU
& Illinois last year he may be recruiting
speed over brawn.  Tyree Evans is listed
as been ultra quick with an explosive game.
Clemente and Downey are two of the fastest
PG's in the country.  Eaton is more like
a bulldozer with the ball.  I could care
less which PG commits, just as long as we
can land one of them.  I still feel UC is
targeting Eaton and Downey over Clemente, but
Clemente is scheduled to visit the same
weekend the Eaton is visiting.  I wonder how
that will work out.

Just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate that "bigger and stronger" mindset.
Bigger and Stronger doesn't help when watching a quicker guard race by 
you.
