Was Huckaby part of the Tom Curry deal that worked out so well for us?

No. Howard Carter was his first D-1 player and Howard was in 9th grade Huck’s first year and had been previously recruited.

Yes Huck recruited Curry to LSU, then to Marshall when that didn’t work and Huck landed the HC job there. He let Curry live with him which triggered an investigation which uncovered more and Huck was blackballed from NCAA coaching. His son Ricky was playing ball across the river in Ohio so he went there as HC.

He recruited me and I played for him at Redemptorist in the hey day, and the last time I saw him was in late 1990’s when he told me that he offered to do the color analyst on LSU radio to Joe Dean and Dean refused him. Sadly, he died a broken man. He had a rough life, father died when he was young but he was a huge hypocrite but a very good coach other than that.
