also, who is better than us?  we´re top 4 in a top 4-6 conference.  so that is top 20, add in a top 1 recruiting class and we are a top 10 school easy.  when jobs better than that open up they tend to go to guys coaching ku or ou, so we should be fine.

This is why I love Tyree coming to KSU.  If someone would actually look at what Tyree plead to and the other facts of his case, they'd probably see that it wasn't as severe/major incident (for Tyree anyways)...but people won't and it will be perceived as though Huggins is "reverting" back to his old ways.  This just ensures Huggins stays with KSU.  Hoskins needs to slightly bump a parking attendant with his car in the off season.

I thought that was what you were getting at but I wasn't sure. Apparently OU, ku, and Maryland would still take a chance at Huggins. Well they took a chance at Tyree anyway..

The way that huggs acts with the media I can't imagine after his time in manhattan that he would go to a place that would be a circus around him all the time, I really think manhattan and huggs are a near perfect fit for eachother.

We're safe with Huggs.  Until we show some sign of weakened administrative support, he's here for the long haul.  IMO.

I don't think I'd feel safe if I were an aTm fan though.  I would bet Kentucky puts on the full court press for him.  Or Arkansas.

Next year all eyes will be on him.  If he farts, the media will know about it.

The media will be all over K-state next season, just like they have been over Texas because of Durant and Ohio State because of Oden.  No matter what the K-state basketball image is getting a giant facelift.  Our name will be getting out to more recruits out there.

I still think this whole thing is funny.  I view K-state to be one of the more conservative public schools in the nation, and we have a coach that is portrayed by a lot of the media to be a deadbeat.

Of course if we hadn't been so conservative, and not played by the rules, then we probably wouldn't have had the 'reputation' to hire Huggs.

Side note:  I -love- reading about all the Mizzou fans who wanted to hire Huggins but couldn't.  And I -love- reading their lamenting posts when we win and they're stuck with Woolly v2, winning just enough games to keep you interested and get your hopes up, but never accomplishing much.  How some will give the "you have to give Anderson time, success isn't immediate in D-1 basketball" and then some bitter MU fan will point out that Huggy is already top 4 after K-state was in the bottom half of the conference for the better part of the decade.  Then they'll get into a giant catfight over Huggy being a deadbeat, or why they should have hired him over Anderson, the recruits we're getting, etc etc etc.

Basically, I just love having other schools bitter about our success.

I got that, but the felony charge was dismissed.   He was only convicted of the misdemeanor assault and battery charges.

IF you wanna be a contender...there will be a necessity to grow a thick skin.

I could care less if the ku fans chanted "DUI" when the team traveled to Lawrence....as much as they probably didn't mind KSU fans chanting "dead beat daddy" when Rush was on the free throw line.

Why? Becuase they beat us. That's why.


Chant and get bitter all you want....throw your barbs....but winning is where the real damage is done to the opponent.

He's your coach because KSU hired him.  JR stole things, which is a terrible decision.  JameSon Curry dealt pot in high school, another bad decision.  Decent kids make bad decisions.  Hopefully they are punished so they do not make bad decisions again.  Not sure if either one fit that mold (decent kid/bad decision), but they definitely didn't do anything to prove they were not decent kids making a bad decision.

Forcible rape of a 15-year old girl is only done by a bad human being.  This is not Huggins first recruit that forcibly raped a young girl.  Huggins also has had players who tied their roomate to a chair and lit them on fire.  Players who beat up women and punch police horses.  These are not isolated incidences that can be explained away by hearing the "whole story".

Huggins has a long history, a pattern, of recruiting bad people that continue to be terrible for the society they live in.  I seriously wonder why a parent would send their young girl to Manhattan with Huggins' players there.

MCMW

God, ku fans do not want Tyree at KSU.

She claims he DID stick it in her, but whatever.  He definitely held her down and has admitted to assaulting her.  Even if Huggins's lawyer's fabrication were correct, Evans is clearly a terrible human being. 

I seriously think that if this story got more general press there would be a lot of dad's pulling their girls out of Silo this fall.

I'll just post my favorites.  Copying and pasting the 50 post pages exceeds the character limit.  Here's a touching oration comparing Tyree to OJ Simpson.

Quote from: fan4life2

"Are any of you going to post a link about Evans' rape conviction?"

No. What's the point? Would you argue OJ is an upstanding citizen because he was never convicted of first-degree murder?

Evans was charged with rape & indecent assault along with three of four other guys. KSU fans long maintained that he was misidentified, just nearby but not involved etc etc, and that if he was found GUILTY they would not recruit him, but if found "innocent" like OJ, no problem.

Then ALL the MEN involved (yes, Tyree was over 21) pled guilty contrary to all the BS KSU fans were spouting. In order to spare the 14 or 15 yr old victim, the prosecutor let Evans plead to the reduced charge of assault & battery. Evans lawyer promised that Evans would have no contact with the victim because he was going far, far away-to KS, where he would no longer be a threat to local girls.

His victim said he had did it to her. She had no reason to lie. I've seen no basis anywhere for disputing this or supporting the claim that he was just a "lookout."

After it happened, Cinn. rightly dropped Evans as a recruit. Thuggins brought him out to a KS juco with the clear intent of bringing him in after he was all "rehabilitated" But the KSU AD investigated and decided Evans had far too much baggage (suggesting they found out more things we don't know about)and announced they would not be recruiting him.Then Evans was booted from his Juco team.

Then KSU lost to ku for the 24th year in a row at home and Thuggins decided morals, values, risk to students and community be damned. It's disgusting and shameful. But even more so is the reaction of KSU fans trying to justify it.

Thuggins has consistently recruited felons, assaulters & batterers, rapists, & thieves, justifying it variously as not convicted( victim afraid to testify), second chance, third chance, must let them play until convicted, etc.

Quote from: plazahawk
1. He'd be the first scholarship athlete to EVER graduate under Huggins' coaching, so it IS a big stretch.

2. He raped and assaulted a 15-year old.  Period. 

You're a terrible member of the race for even trying to think of ways to defend this low life pond scum.  People like you should have to register with the police right alongside Mr. Evans.

Quote from: PittsburgJayhawk
And to think, I used to get ripped over on the football boards by KSU fans for saying that Mangino getting caught cheating was a bigger tragedy in the grand scheme of things than him actually cheating.

I love what Huggins is doing to KSU fans.

"Hey guys, did you hear we had a player kicked off the team for sex with an underage girl?"

"You're ******** me.  Who was it?"

"Tyler Hughes."

"Oh, well who the **** cares?"

Months later...

"Hey guys, did you hear that we got a verbal commitment from a kid who willingly aided in an act of rape, and was kicked off his junior college team?"

"Oh, God.  Who is it?"

"Tyree Evans."

"Huh.  Can he play?"

"Yeah, he's pretty damned good."

"Well, you know what I always say.  Give him a chance to keep his nose clean.  We're all about second chances and redemption here at KSU."

Damn those people are ignorant.

If only one of them knew the definition of "statutory rape."

Or maybe if only one of them knew that the charges of statutory rape were lowered to assault and battery AT THE REQUEST OF THE GIRL AND HER FAMILY.  Do you really think the girl and her family would request that a rape charge be dropped if he raped or aided in the rape of a girl?

You are correct young skywalker!

In regards to Huggins and the rest of the coaching staff.  You cannot imagine how much they absolutely love K-State and Manhattan.  From Huggs on down, everyone enjoys this town and K-Staters.  Anyone notice Huggs hat at the Little Apple New Years party in Aggieville?  It was a Western Kansas Feed Lot.  Huggs loves the fact that he has a jet he can use to go when needed.  Most of the assistant coaches were able to buy nice homes.  K-State and Manhattan = Happy Valley West!

After games, you don't ever see the ku coaches out and about in Larryville, but in Manhattan, its a family affair!  And I do mean family.  The assistant coaches take their spouses and kids out for dinner and feel the love!  Huggs and June usually get with them later. 8)
