“I loved Cincinnati. I remember as a kid watching it. When I was growing up I wanted to go to Cincinnati because of the uniforms and because of Huggs,” said James. He revealed that he loved the uniform and it was one of the reasons that made him want to play for them. However, his prime reason for desiring to play for them was the head coach of the Bearcats at that time, Bob Huggins.
