[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131978736, member: 1812660"] Two things can be true at once. Huggins has an impressive resume and has done great things at WVU. Huggins is also long in the tooth and has had 2 really bad seasons in the last 4 years barring some kind of miracle to end this year. In 2018-2019 where we had Culver, Haley, and Matthews coming back and 2 highly regarded recruits in McBride and Oscar coming in. There was reason for hope looking forward then. Looking forward now with the talent returning and the prospective recruits coming in, it's more far more bleak. Huggins does not have a great track record of bringing in transfers and immediately plugging them into key roles. So it is looking like next year may be a rebuild like 2013-2014 rather than a rebound like 2019-2020. That is concerning because Huggins will be 69 years old at the start of next season and have 40 years as a head coach. Not likely a coach at that age or with that many years experience recreates, much less exceeds, what he has already accomplished. So he needs to be honest with himself and WVU because from this point Huggins will need a minimum of 3 seasons to even have a chance to put together a dark horse Final Four team ala 2010. If he does not think he can coach at the same level he did 10-15 years ago for 3 consecutive years until the age of 72, then he may need to consider making an exit within the next 3 years for the good of the program.
