I dunno, man. Have you seen or heard much of Dejuan Blair? He may not be as talented as Pope (and he may be, I don't know), but he's got his head on straight and sounds like a great guy. I don't necessarily prefer one over the other, but I'd be very happy to get Blair.
"He didn't even show up at the Nike camp and he really didn't play all that much this summer," Stright said. "We all know he's talented, but a lot of schools just don't like his attitude, and I'm sure some people are looking at his grades, too."
Those are some nasty, nasty words coming from a former coach. Geez. I'm kind of confused because Huggins is tight with both Stright and Rex Morgan at Arlington Country Day, where Pope is reportedly headed for his senior year. Since Stright is Huggins's right-hand man, I'm assuming that he's encouraging Huggins to back off of Pope because of Pope's apparent attitude problems. I think that Huggie needs to do whatever he can to stay away from shady recruits (I know, I know, MCMW). All this news on Pope is certainly a warning sign.
