Ryan Manuel

Crandall has zero confidence right now. It's very obvious. I think he can have a roll but not until he gets his.mind right.

Manuel is an an unbelievable athlete. If he could hit a 12-15 foot jumper he'd be tough to keep off the floor. I believe he struggling with confidence as well.

Crandall and Ryan are both in a tough place right now With Eman coming in and Sterling & Keith battling for Nick Russell's minutes next year, could be tough senior years for both...especially with this staff always looking to "recruit over" guys

Ryan got a ton of second half minutes. To me, it seemed strange that he wasn't out there when Nic and a few others sat when Memphis went on that run later in the first half. Ryan brings more than Head.

yeah that 2 minute 8 point run in First Half with Kennedy and N.Moore on bench was really all Memphis had-yesterday. Otherwise, our frontline players really dominated more than it appeared

LB said something to the effect they (coaching staff) messed up the substitutions during that period.

I agree with Stallion on Manuel. Great athlete, not a good bball player.

I cringe every time he has the ball in his hands, and I think he falls down more than anyone I've ever seen (seems incredibly weak to me). But he has provided sparks and if he can give us 5 - 7 minutes a game to rest Moore without a disaster, I'll take it for now.

Ryan is one reason to get to the games early. He really puts on a dunking exhibition in pre game! Heck of an athlete!

[gostangs]

ryan really isn't a point. he should be a 2 guard but his jumper is not there. he is like a change up pitcher you put in once they start coming out on your 3 because he is sneaky good slashing inside, and his rebounding is unreal. I love it when he is on the floor.

Crandall Head must be showing LB good things in practice, otherwise he would not be getting early bench minutes in recent games.
But, it sure is painful watching his meltdowns. I sure hope he can have a good performance vs one of the lower tier teams, and build his confidence. We will need all hands on deck down the stretch.

and I love Ryan Manuel's energy! love him!

[Terry Webster]

Will Manuel be the one who will guard Kirkpatrick from UC? He is a great player and we need someone who can do a number on him.

[LA_Mustang]

I believe LB will start the game with Sterling on Kilpatrick. I hope he builds off the Memphis game and plays well against Temple. If Sterling and/or KF can keep their offensive game going, it makes this team MUCH better. Regardless, Brown almost always plays sound defense.

Ryan Manuel can FLY

[SMULaxer]

I was telling my buddies that every time he has the rock he is taking it to the hoop. He either throws it down, gets free throws, or a charge. But that's what he's doing. Absolutely no jump shot but he still gets to the bucket.

[LA_Mustang]

I honestly can't remember Ryan taking a shoot outside of 5-feet this year.

I think Nick Russell gets that assignment, but expect Ryan to spot him at some point
