Coomer and Hummer are joined by Leonard Stokes for a wide-ranging conversation that kicks off with some details on why Leonard chose the University of Cincinnati back in 1999 (3:00). Stokes provides some details about how Huggins handled players that couldn't remember plays during practice (8:10), as well as how he stays close to Coach Huggins to this day (11:20). We ask Leonard to talk about what it's like to see the program in the hands of someone not under the "Huggins Umbrella" for the first time since he's been affiliated with the University; the answer may surprise you (19:30). Stokes provides insight into the transition from Cronin to Brannen, and why that may have resulted in several transfers (24:30). Hummer gets Stokes to spill the beans on a wild night in Boise (38:00). Was there any truth to alumni, such as Kenyon Martin, being dissatisfied with the search for a new coach after Cronin left (44:00)? And finally, we get more details bout DerMarr Johnson's proclivity for hip hop music (50:00).
Thank you, Leonard, for your time and candor on the podcast!
