So you guys would put Mann ahead of Frank Howard and Bryant Crawford, both of whom like GU, are local and are top 25 talents? I wouldn't...my opinion. Crawford is a PG so to me there's not a conflict with Mann.. I would take Mann over Howard, especially if he were willing to commit now.. They're too close skill wise to slow play one for the other.. espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/class/2015/order/true#34 - Bryant Crawford #41 - Terance Mann #54 - Franklin Howard Exactly. By the way, id, how have the Hoyas' record been the last four or so years when it comes to getting the recruits at the top of their wish list? And how many times have others groaned about III and Co blowing chances with players who actually want to be Hoyas while the staff is out there focusing mostly on the recruits who in the end turn them down? I think III wasted a whole summer on Kyle Anderson. Mann is a legit top fifty/top forty talent (RDF in a PM referred to him as essentially a more offensively gifted version of Jabril) who is a good student and WANTS to be part of the Georgetown program. He should have gotten an offer by now.

Focusing on TT starts with changing your style of play. Until THEY see that nothing will change. People don't understand how true this point is. Hopefully III is sincere about tweaking things in order to both get the recruits he wants and to get past the first weekend (hell, the first round) of the NCAA tournamnet. But if III is not serious, if he is married exclusively to the Princeton for life (and the slow version of the Princeton offense to boot)then he needs to stop wasting time chasing unicorns. Offer the schollies to the players who are open about not having a problem wih the system or who want to be a Hoya regardless (like Mann), not to the players who are hedging their bets by not being out in the open regarding their true feelings on the matter.

Look, I'm a bird in the hand dude and Mann prolly should've gotten an offer by now; I prefer Crawford and Howard. That said, I wouldn't wait forever. Point taken though fellas.

Definitely should have an offer whether or not anyone "prefers" one of the locals. Talent will bring in more talent

Btw MCI, Avery Brooks is one of my favs; where'd you get the avatar? I believe I just did a Google Image search of "In the Pale Moonlight" (nerd alert: widely considered the darkest episode of Trek ever btw) and came across an image from it that I liked: the one used for my avatar.

No inside info but seeing as how Mann’s mom is a College HC I doubt she would let him commit to any school without first going through the process. Broadus is recruiting Mann so given his track record I’d hope he has a good grasp of where Mann is at. He’s going into his junior season so still early in the process that being said we don’t want to wait to long.
On a side note I don’t see any reason why Mann and Franklin couldn’t play together. We sure did see a lot of Bril and DSR on the court together last year.

Didn't watch Avery on Star Trek, but as Hawk on Spenser and his own show, which was set in DC and used many local artists, actors, schools, etc. I loved that!! Anyway, I'm all for the best talent and maybe we could get all three; albeit unlikely. How many ships are available for '15 currently? If you add in Derrickson and Butts, it would seem the staff has a nice selection to decide on. Glad KB is on Mann.

9! and I'm sure one of the many stud bigs will get one in '15, even if ERob comes in '14. The shooter from Miss should be top priority with the PF from TX next. Who and where would ya'll rank the priorities for '15?

His own show was called "A Man Called Hawk". A friend of my family was an extra in one scene of that show. Anyone knows who is is the coach assigned to recruit/keep the look out for Mann?

-- GOOD -- VERY GOOD OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD! WHAT!!! MOM WENT TO GU? WHY IS 'CUSE EVEN UNDER CONSIDERATION!?!?!? SOMEONE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!Clearly the Mann's are putting in to play my eventual plan for when I have kids. Get recruited by Syracuse. Fein interest until I get them to commit a recruiting violation in their recruitment of my son and then turn them in to the NCAA. Then commit to Georgetown.
