Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Or any recruit that walks through the arena and is presented with all of the previous success players like Mannion have had, you know, A Player's Program

Re: Nico Mannion
Because your FRESHMAN year was better than 14ppg, 5+apg, 2+rpg, 1+spg, and a 2:1 ato ratio? (Most of which was spent with a back/hip injury) I agree he needs more time, but he’s getting feedback that he’s a first round pick. I’m sure you made tons of better decisions when you were 19 though.Captain Obvious wrote:Thank you! Please let this thread die. Personally I couldn't care less what happens to him.

Re: Nico Mannion
The point is: Depending on players who have successful future careers after a single year working through their rawness and gaining experience at Arizona is largely at the expense of the program and its fans. Multi-year players who mature into skilled college players able to outplay one-and-done freshmen benefits both those players and the program.
Which is why the 2020 class is encouraging.

The drinking age in Arizona was 19 when I turned 19.
Made a lot of bad decisions

Re: Nico Mannion
The NBA salary cap will probably drop around 20% which directly decreases rookie contracts. Seems like a big gamble for those 163 college early entrants whose stock could increase next year. Maybe I am naive and college wasn't really as awesome as I remember.dmjcat wrote:https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/ ... 141333001/

Re: Nico Mannion
Would it surprise anyone to see Nico end up playing in Italy before he's 25?
