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.
