Huggs in trouble again

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Shoulda been gone off the slurs alone.

Huggs sounded drunk when he made those remarks.

If that’s the case, then he did what he did Friday just six weeks AFTER losing a cool mill for spouting off while drunk.

That’s a pretty dark place to be.

Huggs probably was drunk. It's no secret the guy abuses/abused alcohol. He did it in public and we have learned (more than once) he did it in private. The guy has probably been in a dark place for a long time. Just as he and the University of Cincinnati expressed he was back in 2005 - and probably was long before that.
Problem for him is/was what I alluded to yesterday. He had many enablers and while a few people may have wanted him to seek the help he MAY have needed, it was HIS choice and he preferred to not get help. He's somewhat paying the price for it now. Thankfully for him he can and hopefully will still live a decent rest of his life.

Good post.

I think that's a tough end, to a tough story.

Hope he gets where he wants to be.

Sounds like he's aimin' for paradise.

The big question is whether Self goes after Jesse Edwards again, now that he’s available again.

It's really not

Do tell.

For one, Bob Huggins leaving the Big XII (and probably college basketball) is a bigger deal than one mediocre recruit.
For two, Jesse Edwards wouldn't transfer to Kansas to be Dickinson's backup.

[JKLivin]

Meh. The sun rises in the East, narcissistic addicts self-destruct. It is no great mystery.

I’d take Edwards over Parker Braun any day. Self could run a two big man lineup with Edwards and Dickinson more successfully than trying to turn a 6’7” forward into a post.

the sun sets in the west.

KJ is gonna start.

[pdub]

KJ is better than Jesse Edwards.
I think he will be a good forward.

If Edwards wants to come to sit behind KJ and HDick I’m game.

Personally I’m concerned that all this negative energy pdub has been spewing against Hunter might backfire, in which case, we need front court depth even more than we already do.

is this a newly found fear?

didn't seem to bother you with Braun or Juan.

[pdub]

Truth.

I’d add for maybe the 3rd or 4th time I think Hunter will be very good at basketball here.

[ousdahl]

Yea.

I was concerned with Braun, when, in the underclassman years, the dood self-billed as a bow-and-arrow shooter seemed hesitant to shoot, or to do much of anything at all. But, in a development no one expected, he turned himself into a pro-caliber…utility slasher?, and the crauw remains delicious.

Dajuan still kinda makes me nervous, cuz he stands to play a ton of minutes, even tho he may never be that late-game just go make buckets happen kinda guy that a contender kinda needs. I’d be pleased to be wrong, again, tho.

The different between all that, is I don’t wake up and spend my whole day looking for reasons to loose my mind about it, like pdub’s done with Hunter, and like tdub does with me.

Yea, and that’s all you’ve had to say about him

but why does it have to be him that fills that role? what’s wrong with him being the guy that finds and gets the ball to the late clock or end of game scorer?

[randylahey]

KJ is gonna start.

Maybe I'm wrong here.. but I kind of expect kj to take another big step forward this season. He could be one of the best forwards in the league


We know his defense/rebounding/athleticism is going to be elite. That already makes him one of the better players in college. But I think he averages more points than some might be thinking. He can really attack the rim

[JKLivin]

I agree w/regard to Dajuan. It would be great if he found his way into the weight room this offseason and put some muscle on his frame. It sucked last season holding my breath every time he drew contact.

[pdub]

The fact that I don’t care for how he handles himself off the court means nothing at all with how I think he will contribute on the court.

I didn’t care for Tyreek Hill but he lit up the field regardless.

[pdub]

Didn’t Dajuan have two game winning buckets last season? I know he had at least one.
