Bob Huggins leaves Kansas St after 1 year & takes over West Virginia

Bob Huggins' stay at Kansas St. was about as long as most of his players' stay in college. The notoriously bad academic programs that Huggins runs have gotten a taste of the early departure bug from their coach, as Huggins agreed today to take over at his alma mater West Virginia. The Mountaineers lost coach John Beilein on Tuesday after he accepted the Michigan job vacated by former Seton Hall coach Tommy Amaker. The issue here is the fact that Huggins had recruited a top 10 class to K St. and had most of his 23-12 squad returning next year. The kids who have signed letters of intent can follow Huggins to WV but would have to sit out a year and lose a year of eligibility, unless K St. releases them from their scholarships.
