Real reason why Hue left

We were drafting Carson regardless of who was coach. Marvin was irrelevant in that decision.

Whitworth was drafted in 2006. So was Joseph and Peko. Hall was 07.  Their contributions to 05 were understandably limited due to NCAA rules.

Steinbach was in 03, so Marvin may have had some say there. So, yeah, him and Madieu — along with the two drafted in '05 I already mentioned — may have been Marvin guys who helped contribute to the resurgence in 2005. Or the other 45-50 guys who were in place.
