I have no idea what he does with recruiting. I do know that his commitment to academics (yes, you do sense sarcasm) is second to none. My wife was a UC professor while Huggins was there. He came to her office one day to pressure her to pass a bball player who hadn't shown up for most of the classes that semester and who hadn't completed a majority of the assigned work. She said no dice, but that she'd be willing to work with the player on how he could get caught up, even offering to work with the player one on one. Huggins didn't take this well, stormed out, and went to her dept head to try to get her overruled (the DH backed my wife on why she was failing the player). This is the rep Huggy Bear has around UC if you talk to anyone who ever taught his players.
