Huff says coaching speculation helps his recruiting pitch

Charles Huff said speculation that he might leave Memphis can help him in recruiting, saying coaches’ claims that he will not be there work in his favor.

Huff said that if he left Memphis, he would pursue a bigger opportunity rather than a high school job. He said he tells players, “you're going with me,” comparing the pitch to 31 players who went with him at another place.

Blake Levine Sports Reporter’s post criticized Huff’s remarks and said Southern Miss is better without him and Mississippi State should have no interest in him. Those views were the post author’s, distinct from Huff’s comments.
