Sometimes you just don't know what you don't know. The "unknown unknown"
What I'm saying is IF the school LETS him out. Not if the kid wants to change his mind.
Has an impressive offer list. Could reclassify to 2018.
The first second I saw his photo, I thought oh geez we are recruiting a 1 armed hoopster
I'm hoping Manning eventually wants to win, and recognizes his weakness in that area, and shores it up. But that may be hoping too much.
You act as though staffs are never constructed this way. Our situation is a prime example of when it is called for. Coaches try to build teams with different skill sets - stars, shooters, rebounders, defensive specialists, etc. I wish DM built his coaching staff with the same philosophy.
He could have brought in a new coach simply by firing one of the assistants. Simple.I was hoping the one of the assistants would get a promotion out of Wake this past spring. All of the guys on Manning's staff are relative young and/or inexperienced as coaches. If one had gotten a HC job somewhere, Danny could have brought in an older experienced guy who has been at schools that aren't blue bloods. And has a better feel for situational substitutions, creating favorable matchups for your team etc. At Kansas, Self created favorable matchups just by putting his team on the floor. Somebody with a career resume that looks like Jerry Wainwrights - 8 college coaching jobs, including three head coaching stints, including one at a P6 school.

We're still on this "bring in a more experienced guy to run the game" fantasy? How about we just bring in a capable head coach?
