Manning has done everything he can do off the court. If we overachieve this year and get some hype going into next year, get ready for a big 2016 class.

Let's cut down some motherfucking nets. K, Pitino, Roy, Boeheim, you DONKS better run the jewels.

Those who handling damage control don't wish us the best luck.

Manning has also simultaneously put every single one of our current scholarship players on notice. Which I love. One person on this team will not be offered a scholarship back next year. That is huge motivation for our work habits. [Redacted] had established terrible work habits, and now Manning is trying to reverse that terrible course. Best way to do that is to have some fear motivation hanging in the atmosphere.

The guys that want to be here will work for it, anyone that starts to doubt is going to quit, and we don't want that kind of player here anyway. Great sign, great philosophy. Now it is pretty clear why Manning wanted a full set of scholarships this year. If we aren't full, the players wouldn't feel the pressure. Time for everyone to step their game up.

Agree with this. And it is awesome
 
Wellman will be able to count real butts in seats again instead of the invisible ones. My butt will be coming from Ohio to watch these guys play. Manning is BAWSE. Can't wait to bring my son to his first Deacon game...and have confidence that we will actually win the game. Go Deacs!!!
 
I donated to the deacon club the day after manning was hired because I was so excited and had faith in him, but damn, he's doing even better than my high hopes thus far.
 
Interesting that Manning considers this his first recruiting class. It's true, but interesting to say it, given several players actually committed to Manning in our current Frosh class. Manning is looking to bring in his guys and get this turned around quick. Current Frosh have conditional positions in that process. Circumstances provided them an opportunity to be a part of Manning's program that similar recruits will not have in subsequent years, but they have to earn their keep to maintain the spot. I think this relates to Wrangor's comments about the players being on watch, because someone isn't coming back now that we have committed to Collins. Find a way to contribute beyond expectations or relinquish your spot.
 
This proves just how quickly the right staff can turn around a program. Outstanding work.
 
Over half of next year's team may be Manning recruits.
 
This is how you recruit! Bring em in and seal the deal the same week. Crawford was definitely the first domino we needed to fall. Sooooo pumped!!

And the early results are a pretty convincing argument that we finally have the right staff. I feel like our staff turnover was coming out of the timeout, down big to Duke in the first round of the ACC tournament, and Randolph has just said, "Give me the f'ing ball every damn time". We are about to come out of a deep hole swinging and are going to set some records on the way to the top of the conference.

ok, got a bit carried away...still trying to figure out what to do with optimism. I am the nerdy freshman that never drank in high school at my first frat party. If this momentum keeps up, I am going to embarrass myself, but have the time of my life doing it!
 
All I know is that every other team in the ACC is sad now that WF is not going to be awful every year again. One (or two) less easy wins a year.

Manning and this class probably mean an end to #TheRivalry soon so hopefully this year's battles are especially epic.
 
I think Manning gets a verbal from Kwe around New Years then it's on like Donkey Kong in the 2016 class.

Shelton committed early in January 2013 if I remember correctly, so it's definitely possible. Hope you're right.
 
I'm too conditioned by the last few years to expect failure - figured we were losing Collins to Miami and was already looking for an early bright side.

Unbelievable job by Manning, Childress and the rest of the staff to get this done. We're going to be fucking good again, finally.
