Landing at Chipola JC is a possibility.

Don't disagree with WHAT you're saying, it's just HOW you said it.

Certain HC do not like and some despise a HI dribble....I dont think his shooting was the biggest issue he has.

You might be right, but shooting was very high on the list. You just cannot play 4 on 5 on offense. See Adam Liberty.

I am with many of the other posters, who thought a redshirt year would have been a world of good for Kenny.

Other than shooting the ball, he sure has a lot of potential.

I just hope he lands on his feet somewhere where he can make an impact. I wish he could have redshirted, and he probably would've had the NCAA not been idiots about Clevin's situation early last season.

I'm not dialed into how Kenny's situation played out at the end, but clearly wasting his redshirt for three games at the beginning of the season was not worth it. I understand that hindsight is 20/20, but Kenny's outcome might have been different had he redshirted. A season of eligibility seems a steep price to pay for three games.

coould see this happenning but only if he has a great year at JUCO and will redshirt his first year back at D1

[SubGod22]

He's still got loads of potential.

Manigault said he's looking at the junior college route as a way to increase his stock for possible high major offers.

I think JuCo is definitely his best route.

This part of the quote makes it sound like he thinks that he belongs at a higher level than WSU? I really hope that's someone else's interpretation of Kenny's words.

I predicted in March that Kenny would be advised of the areas of his game that needed attention and that if he stayed at WSU that would indicate his desire to work on those parts of his game, but if he left, that would indicate something else.

Maybe the change of scenery and a different coaching approach will get Kenny focused on the parts of his game that need work. I certainly hope so.

Kenny had his shot at being a role-player (or better) on a team with legitimate top-25 prospects next year, but that didn't work out. I don't know how much higher his goals or his evaluation of his skills indicate he should be playing.

This statement seems to shed an unfortunate light on some reasons Kenny didn't find a fit at WSU.

[Veritas]

Maybe I'm reading into it differently.

If he leaves a top 25-30 program, why wouldn't he want to roll up his sleeves, work his ass off, and try to get on at a top 15-25 program? Otherwise, in his eyes, why did he ever leave WSU?

He needs time to reflect on why he left. Sometimes people don't know what they have until it's gone, and most of us don't know why he left. But I do wish him the best and hope he does end up at a great program through his hard work and sweat equity.

[Aargh]

^ Bingo!

That's what I'm hoping for too and I wish Kenny the best. If the change of scenery gives him the opportunity or motivation to develop into a great player, I'm all for it.

I agree that Kenny needs something that, for whatever reason, he didn't find here. I hope he finds it and that in a couple of years WSU fans wish he would have stayed.
