Who is leaving to make room for him?
Gonna need 1 or more of these freshmen to make an impact
For Manning? Rick Ray left last month for Vanderbilt.
Money's on Rancik. The other two, meh.
Real quick Danny Manning story...
In 1988, at the Seoul Olympics, Team USA basketball was required to go to a local US based military hospital. Danny Manning was an All-American and supposed to be the next great NBA player. Let's just say at the time he was pretty full of himself.
Danny walks into this kids room, not wanting to be there, and says to the little boy with terminal cancer "Hey, I'm Danny Manning" .
The kid looks up and says as he is able to tell that Danny is really genuine or caring "I don't know who you are and don't care to, get out of my room".
Not sure if humbling was the word, but the message did reach Danny Manning and have impact.
Now: Super excited for him to be on the bench and recruiting!!!

Danny got any point guards he can bring with him?

I hope so, but supposedly a wing player is most likely for the last spot, according to Rooney: https://www.buffzone.com/2024/05/06/rooney-cu-buffs-3-extra-points-may-6-2024/
Lame. Maybe Hammond was promised they wouldn’t bring someone in

I don't know how I missed Ray leaving, but I did. This is a great hire.

Agreed! Even though there's been a track record of big development in our program between Bari, Bey, Dre making it to the league and Battey, Jelly, heck even Lampkin made a jump over his TCU numbers, there's been players and even higher profile recruits that have stated that having two short assistant coaching bigs in Rohn and Grier might not excite certain players.I woke up still giddy from from the Manning hire.
The future is bright!
Again, I think our big development has been great but having a name and former player with Manning's pedigree is only going to be a plus on recruiting but also coaching the bigs will immediately have his respect as a guy that's done it at the highest level.
Yeah, but between WW2 and when the Buffs left the Big12, Baylor basketball won only two things*: jack and ****.
Daddy’s home.
(*three, if you count “program with the most number of murders covered up)
Thank god - we only have 8 on the roster, we sure need another wing to come in and not be able to handle the ball.
Got the email this week about ticket renewal in a couple weeks.
I'm gonna pay it. I think it's a better schedule just from the Big 12 vs Pac-12 opponents. But, damn, this is a bit rough when it's not a season I'm confident in resulting in a post-season.
The price per season ticket will be as follows:

Love the Danny Manning Hire, he was Frosh when Tad was Senior Captain at KU. Manning got a lot of credit for developing Bigs at KU, when they became known as Big Man U. Did great in 2 years at Tulsa, but got overly criticized in 4 years at Wake Forest, kept losing players (14 of them) to pros- which kept him from winning. Briefly Head Coach at Maryland when Turgeon quit. But 2 years as Associate Head Coach at Louisville during Kenny Payne disaster probably hurt his rep. Below are '25 & '26 players they were recruiting at Louisville, per Verbal Commits. Feels like he could help with Chris Nwuli & Brayden Burries (who CU were already in with). Maybe with A'mare Bynum too:1 of the 2 CU '25 offers (other Big PtG Josiah Sanders). PF Bryson Tiller & Huge G/W Tyran Stokes Top-10 types (like SG Burries), so if Manning got traction on any of these guys- that would be amazing! W/F Bynum & 2-Way Open Court Flyer Nwuli most realistic bets?

Feels like Tad worried about being able to guard Big Strong Tough Wings, Big12 so known for. Basking/Rancik/Jaki/Diop with length; but Kossaras/Crawford too thin?
I say top options are:
1) Corey Washington from St Peters; toughness that we may lack there. #7 on 247 Sports ratings of SF transfers.
Corey Washington, Saint Peter's Peacocks, Small Forward
Corey Washington is a 6-6, 185-pound Small Forward from North Little Rock, AR.
247sports.com
CJ Walker, UCF Knights, Power Forward
CJ Walker is a 6-8, 200-pound Small Forward from Orlando, FL.
247sports.com
5) If we stand pat, Tad likely gives scholy to Walk-On Harrison Carrington. We can't take someone that doesn't have higher ceiling than shooter Harrison? Needs D?
BIG12 Update:
Cinci; if don't lose Aziz Bandaogo to NBA, should show-up on some early Top-25 lists? Have 1-2 spots & Need Big?
ASU 1 spot left: Go for yet another PtG or a Big- so 6'8 220 SF Sammie Yeanay doesn't have to play PF (not the worst option for them)?
Utah got it's PtG in Miro Little (backed up by Mason Madsen); still with 2 open spots and no SFs?
TCU committed to their elite guard play- by taking RJ Jones w/ final spot. Two 6'10 Bigs & 4 young/talented SFs- who will need to play-up to PF?
K-State lost Arthur Kaluma for-sure; then just lost out on their Top-2 front-court options. Desperate for multiple guys on Front-court with 4 open spots?
BYU, OSU, Tx Tech, & WV all with 4 open spots too (UCF w/ 3): all of them need multiple players in Front-Court (except Tx Tech; who could probably manage w/ 1)?
West Virginia only team in those 5 w/ early makings of strong roster (20 pt scorers at 1-3 spots), but Tx Tech's D strong enough to rise-up w/ the right Big?
Colorado seems solidly in 2nd Tier (6th-9th place) w/ Cinci, WV, Tx Tech SO FAR!!!!????
Maybe it's just my zip code, but those prices seem like a steal.
It's probably the best value for your live sports entertainment dollar in the Denver super metro. But it's a big percentage hike.
I heard they're also displacing the season ticket holders who have been sitting behind the basket by the tunnel and making that section into some sort of Club Level.
They're kicking Peggy out? The nerve.

SEC just released their MBB's conference opponents. That scheduling is something I think would happen with CU.
The three teams CU would play twice likely is KU, KSU, and OSU...that is my opinion.
