You have got to be kidding me......Nick Stover? He had four offers from low-Major D1 schools - Boise State, Nevada and USF and was not even rated by Rivals. Patson Siame? That seriously might have been the most ridiculous response I have ever seen on this board.
NO, I am not Manuel's Dad and "get" the uncertainty of rankings, but you CLEARLY MISSED THE POINT and have no clue the vetting process schools go through when evaluating talent at that level, or appreciate what it takes to have success on the EYBL circuit. So what you are saying is that collectively, Michigan, Michigan State, Kansas State, Oregon, USC and other high major top 20 programs entire staffs all just totally missed on their evaluation of Manuel? That is stupidity I won't respond too. The kid was a 6'10" 4 star recruit period. Where he is now is entirely irrelevant.
You also have apparently no recollection of my criticism of what a dog Manuel was while he was here at LMU. I am not an apologist for any kid with a bad attitude, but lots of other kids....i.e. Evan Payne....left prematurely and had they been cultivated and managed differently could have greatly benefited the program. That is not really a point to debate at all.
You think the gym was empty because the game was at 5pm? Huh??!!! How many games did you go to since Dunlap has been here? The gym is always empty. Much of what you posted is literal non sense.
Actually i am more in tune with the program than you are or will ever be. That is all i will say on that. My points are all valid whether you want to believe them or not. That is your choice. 5 pm start is business suicide. Anyone who works in college athletics agrees, and while attendance has been declining steadily, you are not doing yourself any favors by 1) scheduling westcliff and 2) 5 pm start time. Both have dunlap written all over them.
