I think the staff grew tired of the wishy, washy status of his recruitment. I’m sure he has a spot if he truly wants in but I don’t think the staff is still pushing super hard for him. Just how it seems on the outside looking in.
Maybe Huff’s slow development has them nervous about taking him. Ultimately I’d take him. It’s the coaches job to develop him properly, no sense in passing on him because it may take two off seasons before he contributes.
