Looking at Manning's stats: Average for each year: 0.5, 1.7, 2.5 & 2.0. Reb average for each year: 1.0, 0.6, 1.6 & 1.9. He was 6'11" & don't recall any injury issues. Chris was a nice guy, liked him but he was not D1 material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have liked “Chris” but I think you mean John Manning. Yeah, he didn’t have an illustrious college career. He clearly had skill as a big, however, as @David King can attest. Majerus didn’t recruit stiffs. David King likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Maybe if he had 4 yrs of Majerus level practices it might have been different. Didn't happen. If you mean David King the player from the 80s, his short tenure at SLU was not very good either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning could at least play defense. Husak routinely got thrown around and abused. Plus, what made Husak worse is that he was here 5 years! Husak had to play a bit his senior year because there was literally no other bigs on that roster Sodie left RM. Manning played on MUCH better teams where playing time was hard to come by. Not saying Manning was good by any means, just think you are underestimating the suckiness of Husak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Manning's senior year, he average 2 pts per game in about 15 mpg for an awful team. 2 pts! Husak, on the other hand, put up 5.5 ppg., for a .500 team.
