[QUOTE="IdahoIllini, post: 1431002, member: 746160"] I’ve watched a lot of Huggy at WVU living many years in the b12 footprint. His teams always have a good mix of plus athletes and skilled players. It’s a mix we are far from. Watching yesterday I actually thought about how that super athletic big on X (number 3 or 0 if iirc) was totally a Huggins type player. Moved so well for a big guy, great rebounder, string hands. I can’t remember the last time we had a guy like that who played with that kind of edge. We certainly don’t have one now. Giorgi has the edge but not the bounce. Kipper has the bounce but not the edge. Underwood is going to have to find guys like that for his system to have any chance to succeed here. Long ways to go as of now. [/QUOTE]
