Manning To Play For Kentucky All Stars

T. Manning was the runner up for Mr Basketball in Kentucky. Once he gets in Herrion's system I think he will thrive and be simular player to Shaq Johnson. I think Herrion has some good kids coming in. If Chris Martin or Kareem Canty can step in and play at least 75% of what Pitts could do until conference play I think we will be just fine.

If Tinnon is back, we will be a much better team next year. Pitts just didn't play hard this year. I think Martin will be a huge bench guy for us.

What are you talking about. Pitts played out of his mind this year. His FT shooting was off the 1st half of the season (From what I heard he played through an arm strain, which threw is FT shooting off) but it was corrected before conference play. No way we make it to the CUSA Title game without Pitts.

Besides Chris Martin, I want to see how Jamir Hanner developes this year. Last year he showed flashes of brilliances. Also from what Ive heard our best pure shooter has never been in a game yet, Im talking about RS freshman DeVince Boykin.

Indiana All Stars hold off Kentucky All Stars 90-85

Quote:Kentucky's top player Nathan Dieudonne led his team with 24 points and six rebounds. Mr. Basketball runner-up Tamron Manning had 23 points, 17 coming in the first half.

Wasn't the fault of Manning though. He and Mr Kentucky were great in the effort. Manning scored 23 points and had 9 rebounds. The two teams play again tonight, I hope he does just as good tonight as he did last night.

I don't know. Pitts played well, he's a good player, but the expectations were so much higher than what he achieved. His free throw %, points per game, and assists went down this season while his turnovers and minutes went up.

I think people were expecting too much from him.

Excuse me guys, but isnt;t this thread supposed to be about Mr Ky Runnerup Tamron's efforts in the KY/IN All Star game? Looks like he had a good one Fri night.
