RE: Contact Period

If I was Huggs, I wouldn't want Downey, Eaton, and Clemente because that's 3 point guards and Eaton wouldn't like that. If I had the chance to pick any four players to finish the class of 2005, it would have to be: Byron Eaton, Denis Clemente, Gary Flowers, and James Davis. I think that team would fit UC most and Clemente might be the next Francisco Garcia (UofL) and could maybe play wing. It seems to me that Eaton will be Mickey D's AA and Clemente might be one of the best under rated players. Davis is 7'0 and it looks like he could be the starter over Soully. I can also see Flowers being (hopefully) the next Maxiell. I think this would be one of the best classes, but that's just my 2 cents...

Rolle I believe we are a long shot at
landing, plus he has a lot of academic
issues that need to be resolved. Madsen
I have not heard to much on, but
he did not have an impressive summer. I
know he has some offers on the table, but
this is UC. We have an opening spot in the
post for next year. A year when we will
be playing in the best basketball conference
ever. I would hope we could land a player with
more credentials then a guy who averaged 13points
and 7 reb in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.
Maybe he is a late bloomer...I think Gause and
Madsen are 3rd to 4th options at this point.

Jovan Adams committed to UNLV. You also left Magnum
Rolle and Madsen off the list.

Huggs rarely makes his in-home visit schedule public.
