Fansince59 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Does anyone believe John Manning will see significant minutes this season? I was hoping he would see more time last night. Last year some posters thought he would be a force this year. CR didnt play last night. The fact that JM did not play until the final minute appears to be meaningful. Right now I don't see him contributing a lot. Hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlumniFan Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Coach said it was a match up issue. I wouldn't read too much into one game's player minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Mannings going to be a very good player for this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeah Manning will be very important this year and give us some quality minutes. He will be getting plenty of minutes by the time the conference schedule starts up. Last night was a bad matchup for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 THE SKY IS FALLING! Come on. Just because he didn't really play in the first game doesn't mean he'll be insignificant all season. He could have a track which resembles that of Ian Vouyoukas, which would mean that he would really come on toward the final third of this season.

Taj79 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Rammer noted last night that Crews said the matchup for Manning was not good, that USC-Upstate had too many 6'7" athletic types that didn't bode well in terms of Manning matching up. Crews also was asked about Glaze's minues which were improbable at best but with Remekun down, Glaze's style and game matched up better against SC-Upstate than Manning. It was said in a "next man up" kind of summation and also talked about how one has to be ready to play to the hand one is dealt. And each player has to prep as if they are going to get the call. Manning did fine enough against Rockhurst. The book is not closed. I can see him battling against Umass, Xavier,La Salle and others as we move forward.

slu72 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm more concerned about RL at this point. Would like to see him contribute a little bit more in the scoring column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Keep this in mind. We are used to Majerus 8 or 9 man rotation which was set in stone at the start of the season. Crews' lineups will be much more variable. I would bet that every eligible player will have a couple games this season with 10 or more minutes that aren't during mop up duty.

billiken_roy Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 in the meaningless buy games that skip, bizzle and two baby blues could win, i agree. but when we get to conference play and everyone is healthy, i think the rotation might be even shorter. might be 7 players. the division in ready to contribute talent on this roster is large imo. top 7 are national worthy. the rest are not.

billiken_roy Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Carter will be good, but he is far behind mccall, jett and mitchell right now. And in the event of foul situations i would go big with evans and ellis and loe or remeken before id go carter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Has he developed much from a size standpoint? Weight training, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
