It was not who Huggins picked, but how he picked them that created the stir among Tar Heel fans.
After a few comments about some select people he went on to put on a hat that happened to be UNC. Everybody cheered because he was a Tar Heel!
Not so fast.
After a few cheers, he removes the UNC hat to reveal a Rutgers hat making it clear that Rutgers is his school of choice. Wow! Within a few seconds Tar Heel fans are happy and then promptly sad and even mad.
Similar stories happen every year, but in an age where a verbal commitment does not mean much this just does not surprise me.
