Good for Kenny.

There is a Corey Manigault playing for Pitt. Brother of Kenny? All I could find is that both are linked to Earl "The Goat" Manigault.

Big time athlete. That was about it.

The moral of the story is something several Shockers learn no matter how gifted they are. If extra practice opportunities arise that are deemed as optional, here is a word of advice.

Optional prolly means your hungry teammates will be there, the Coaching Staff will monitor who showed up, and if you aren't on the turnip truck, the word 'optional' could have a different Webster meaning in terms of playing time earned at a later date.

Kenny was indeed a talent and I hope he makes lots of money playing basketball. Once a Shocker, always a Shocker.

I recall a dunk during mopup duty...that was it

[ShockingButTrue]

He was never the next Nate McMillan like I had hoped (long armed point). Or even Pressey.

[pogo]

He was an athletic looking young man. Was really excited

Kenny Manigault is currently playing in The Basketball Tournament for team Showtime against VCU Ramnation.

Late in the 2nd half and he has 8 pts thus far.

Games are being aired on ESPN3.

I really enjoyed meeting his family, especially his father. He is a hell of a nice guy, and a true patriot, serving our country for years. I hope they are all doing well.
