Jordan McCabe

Huggins has to be an idiot for recruiting him?

No he's hardly an idiot for recruiting him.  Coaches take flyers that they hope have huge upside all the time.  Ike Eke for example.  If it doesn't work out, both parties move on.

Their whole squad has issues up and down the roster, but indeed McCabe has been - and I don't mean this in the wrong way - awful

Obviously, Jordan is not anywhere near being the root of WVU's issues.  But, his 39.3% eFG% does  indicate that he has been rather awful as you post.

First player in college basketball since 2010 to have 25 points 11 assists and 6 steals in one game, even if he's not very good,he has that

Maybe not an idiot for Huggins to have recruited him, but he never seemed like a Huggins player to me.  Huggins's teams are usually physically and mentally tough, defensive oriented players.  McCabe is a flashy offensive tiny guy who has never played a second of defense in his life.  Even if he was 100% committed to being the best defender he could possibly ever be, he just doesn't have the physical gifts to be good on that end of the court, and he certainly has never been coached to be fundamental on that end of the court.

Yay for arbitrary stat lines aided by 3 OTs!

He seemed to have the personality of many Huggins recruits...

Huggy Bear is bullish on McCabe.
