Haven't seen him play yet, but I bet he's scrappy.
Surprised Duke didn't get him, given he played HS ball in Utah.
I now see he's from Italy... Interesting.
Anthony is likely better. No question that Anthony leads on the draft boards. NBA draft room has Anthony going #4 and Mannion going #10.
But I don't think UNC is a legit Natty contender. Got a feeling that Mannion and AZ have it going this year, and that Mannion-hype is about to go full force.
Criticism of Miller in the post-season is fair (as it was of UVA last year). Just got a feeling that this AZ team is special and people are going to love watching Mannion. May be totally wrong. BTW, I am not a Miller fan and think he is cheater.
Dayton drilled UGA today by 19 in Maui; love it when Tom Crean gets exposed. Anthony Grant would be an interesting coaching candidate.
Started at VCU. Won 20 games all 3 years; 2 NCAA Tourneys; recruited a lot of the talent that Shaka won with.
Coached 6 years at Bama. Winning record 5 years. Twenty wins 3 times, but just one NCAA appearance and one NIT final. Fired and the program regressed.
Took over Dayton in 2018. #172 in year #1. #62, 20 wins and an NIT bid in year 2. Year 3 starts out 4-0 and is expected to contend for a A-10 title.
Strong recruiter. Ties to the Atlantic region. Donovan assistant for Natty at Florida and in the NBA.
VT is up 4 on Michigan State at the half. Was completely wrong about VT and Mike Young. Realize its early, but they lost essentially everyone from last year's team, and the Hokies look much better than I thought (already won at Clemson, pretty much annihilated every other opponent).

Wow, that was incredible. I was with you about being wrong on Young. Thought he was the best they could do under the circumstances. He's doing this with 5 freshmen and only Bede and Horne back from last year (neither were starters or significant contributors). Gonna make for some more great UVA/VT match-ups. He has another 2 4* wings coming in next year. Needs to recruit another big. But they're gonna be dancing again this year at this rate and should be good for the next 3 years.
