Making the case for Cornell Mann

Submitted by ThadMattasagoblin on

There's an obvious choice when it comes to replacing Lavall Jordan on the Michigan staff and he resides in Ames, Iowa. Cornell Mann is an excellent recruiter and is responsible for attracting Monte Morris among others from Michigan to play at Iowa State. He also coached at Oak Park high school and with the Michigan Mustangs AAU team. ISU led the big 12 in scoring for three straight years under his watch and they also made a school record four straight ncaa tourneys. Going with an unproven guy like Chris Hunter or someone else on staff would be a mistake imo when we are at such a critical stage in our basketball program with a clear need in recruiting.

All my roommates in college played basketball for western Michigan. I believe Mann was there for there freshman/sophomore years. Don't know much about him in terms of what he would bring for strategy but they absolutely loved him. Still stay in contact with him, get the sense he is a great players coach.
