Absolutely a top 5 coach. Who else could win so much with average talent for so many years? It's not like he's getting 5* players to come to WVU or before to Cincy. WVU has had ONE 5* player in Huggs tenure here. He does it by recruiting potential and developing these kids.
Coach K, Cal, Boeheim, Calhoon, Roy and even Bobby in the day always got the 5* kids. I dont' believe there is one coach in the country that has done more over his career without having the best of the best talent coming out of HS.
