While this story is still breaking, I thought I'd post something about it really quickly.
Unfortunately, with the West Virginia coaching job recently vacated by John Beilein (who, small bit of trivia, has a nephew who went to my high school), Bob Huggins has decided to leave Kansas State after one fairly successful season to go coach where he was born and attended college.
Here are four stories about it that have popped up within the past hour:
Huggins to replace Beilein
Bob Huggins Leaves Kansas State for West Virginia
Huggins to Coach West Virginia
Huggins leaving to coach alma mater
What a bummer. This is a real disappointing turn of events. I understand the fact that this was a sudden chance at his "dream job," to coach where he was born and raised. But, after all of the excitement and anticipation that was building about the program, with K-State coming into next season with the best recruiting class in college, having the rug pulled out from under all of us is such a downer. Who knows what will happen to all the recruits now? They obviously all came to Manhattan, Kansas because of Bob Huggins. K-State is not a Florida or Kentucky or Duke.
The program, it unfortunately seems, is now back to where it was just two years ago.
Yet, not everyone is in a bad mood about this whole situation.
