If Huggins is landing multiple top 10 recruits at Kansas State...

[michigancat]

Why, exactly, would he want to leave?

[pissclams]

Roy Williams left ku w/ multiple top 10 recruits in Lawrence?  He was also under the spell of Dean Smith, but he left-

[snart]

Who said he wanted to leave?  I think he has found a home...

[sonofdaxjones]

I think he will leave ... but I do think he will be at KSU for at least 5 years.

If things go particularly well ... then he may not leave at all.   

JCCC-L fans are  .... concerned.

Nope.  I don't know if he landed a top 10 recruit outside of Paul Pierce and David Padgett.

[pissclams]

Isn't that multiple? 

[michigancat]

Isn't that multiple? 

STFU.

and dax, how often do 60 year old coaches jump ship for a better job?  (ROY DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE HE WENT TO THE SECOND BEST PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY)

[ksu_FAN]

Yeah, Bob Huggins has no Dean Smith or other serious tie to West Virginia.  So those circumstances are way different.

The only reasons he would leave IMO:

Trouble with the NCAA
For some inexplicable reason he doesn't/can't win in Manhattan
He wants a new challenge/NBA makes an offer he can't refuse

[NVExel]

This is Bob's last job in coaching.  Cincinnati would have been but he was forced out.  KSU fans need not worry about that.  He has all the money he will ever need, and just wants to build a legacy.  What better place to do it?

[AzCat]

If the fans and administration at KSU continue to support Huggins I'd be very surprised if he were to leave for another college gig.  Couldn't blame him if he decided to take a shot at the NBA though.

[ksuno1stunner]

huggins sounds very appreciative of being given the opportunity of coaching at ksu.

[sonofdaxjones]

Well, I think he'll leave, but not before 5 years minimum. 

But leave, may actually mean retirement.

has huggins seen manhattan yet?  that is the only thing that worries me.  if (BIG if) he likes it here when he sees it, i think he'll be around for a while.

[sonofdaxjones]

"Have you ever been here"??

It's THE SHOCKER. Get it right you smelly asshat. By the way dude, Bone is so 1990's.

I only think Huggins leaves if he is tremendously successful by year 2 and takes a job in an area that has local b-ball talent (say USC). If he takes 4 or 5 years to really turnaround the program then he will be too old to make another switch IMHO.

Why would he need to go to an area that has local talent? He already recruits on the national scene.

hence the name of this thread

Huggy may decide that Manhattan isn't metropolitan enough for him. After all, Manhattan is no NYC, LA, Wichita, etc.

[sonofdaxjones]

Yeah ... Wichita, KS .... positively cosmopolitan.

huggins grew up in a town of 500

[TheShocker]

Yeah ... Wichita, KS .... positively cosmopolitan.

 

Wichita was named to the top 10 most metropolitan cities in the country by two different rating services last year.  We have a river, I think a museum or something, RiverFest, and the Warren theaters. Eat your heart out Manhattan!

Riverfest...

[TheShocker]

Dude, step off. Riverfest makes Mardi Gras look like something that is not nearly as fun or cool as Riverfest.

  Riverfest

[waks]

link?? link?? it's not true!

[jmlynch1]

Dude, step off. Riverfest makes Mardi Gras look like a funeral.
