I know you guys are probably sick of hearing all of thisâŚbut K-State announced the hiring of Hill todayâŚI thought this quote from Huggins on Hill was rather interesting thoughâŚ
"âDalonte is a young guy who has great contacts,â said Huggins. âHe played for the DC Assault (successful AAU program) and grew up with one of my guysâ DerMarr Johnson (current Denver Nuggetsâ player and former C-USA Freshman of the Year for Huggins at Cincinnati in 2000). He is a guy that has always wanted to work with me and I thought this was a great fit for him. He is connected to the AAU programs in the East and South and he will do a great job recruiting for us. He will do a great job relating to our guys. He is a young guy that will also do an outstanding job coaching on the floor.â
The main part of that grabbed my attention was âhe is a guy that has always wanted to work with me and I thought this was a great fit for him.â
Strange he didnât make the same type of comment about Dalonteâs previous boss:
He (Other coach Frank Martin) actually spent time with a really good friend of mine in Ron Everhart (at Northeastern) before I hired him at Cincinnati.
Is Hill hired or does he have a handshake agreement?
[QUOTE] âWe have an agreement in principle,â Weiser said. âThe whole process, the 10-12 pages of paperwork, might take about a month⌠Honestly, itâs nothing to worry about. Bob and I have a handshake agreement.â
Huggins still hasnât signed contract

Translation?
[QUOTE] âWe have an agreement in sleaziness,â Weiser said. âWe donât want Bob to get bogged down in such things as following NCAA rules for coaches while recruiting his players. So he wonât be getting paid for a little while ⌠Honestly, donât you worry your pretty little heads over it. Bob and I have a handshake agreement.â[/QUOTE]
From Timmyâs link, I clicked on âcoachesâ and the bio of Bob Huggins
[QUOTE]A two-time Academic All-American, Huggins graduated from West Virginia magna cum laude in 1977 and received his masterâs in health administration from West Virginia in 1978. [/QUOTE]
Itâs good to see that KSU has a head coach that will instill the value of a good education into his players.
Donât forget the fine print: Once Beasley leaves for the pros your fired. No questions asked. Stimpulation though, if you can bring in another top 5 recruit then you are as long as he is here. Then again you will be fired after he leaves.

How could Dalonte say no to such a âsweetâ deal ?
and the sad thing is, after what they did, when heâs sitting at home looking for a job, no one wil take him.
And im not trying to be negative, but I think Bobby would step up and possibly take Hill back, because heâs got a soft spot in his heart. But then again its also likely he would steel up
I donât think Dalonteâs employment at KSU is contingent on him getting TMB. DerMarr Johnson seems to have stepped up to the plate to help Dalonte get a job that Huggins may have already wanted him for.
