    Huell?

    What happened here? His high school coach wouldn't let him visit so he attends the Miami game instead? Is he going to visit later or is this recruitment already over one day after we just caught word of him visiting? Good player. Hope he still wants to visit. Btw we play Miami next week in Puerto Rico.

    Bump. This might be the strangest one day recruitment of a 5* player I can remember. Does anybody have ANYTHING on this story?

    Coach is promoting him to stay in state. South Florida doesn't produce basketball players like they produce football players. He'll do anything to keep him in state.

    We aren't getting him. It will be Miami or FSU. Coach didn't want him to visit us. All our efforts are turning towards Ado and possibly 1 more PF.

    I've always thought this was extremely selfish on the part of high school coaches, even when it's benefited us in the past. They're putting something other than the kid's interests and desires first.

    Is it his HS or AAU coach? Some of these guys have to have the wheels greased to even recruit them

    We should rally round the family and fill his next home game with 500 MSU alumni.

    I would say that he(Huell) wasn't too happy about it. I think he tweeted ..."gotta get away"....and "Nothing going right" the day he was announced to visit. After he was retweeting people tweeting about him visiting. It is so sad that someone can't make a decision on their own. complete BS.

    Yea, its amazing how these AAU coaches and sometimes HS coaches treats a player like their own personal property to sell to whomever they so choose.

    This would explain why he was so pissed about him agreeing to visit and then putting a stop to it...

    Have we ever thought about the fact that Huell himself wasn't totally sold on taking the visit, so his coach simply convinced him not to take it? Some have asked how a coach can force a kid not to visit...well, he can't. So instead of assuming he can and asking why, it seems more logical to assume he didn't and that Huell just ended up deciding not to visit.

    It's really not that strange. He suddenly decided to visit, then pretty quickly decided not to. He's been recruited by the in-state schools for a long time, our chances were extremely low no matter what.
