TrueBlue82 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 And Kellen's younger brother, Brady (2017) has already received offers from the likes of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Creighton, Santa Clara, Mercer, etc. Wouldn't it be great to add another Mark/Jeff Acres tandem??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Reminds me a lot of the 4's from the XDSU's: tall, thick, a little slow of foot, but aggressive and able to play with his back to the basket on the block, or facing the basket on the 3-point line. I would imagine defense will be his greatest challenge at the next level. Will be interesting to see how he progresses in his senior year in high school! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Article Kellen Manek said he and his brother briefly discussed the possibility of finding a college where they could play together “We’ve talked about it a little bit, but I told him I wasn’t going to hold him to something if he had a better opportunity,†Kellen said. “We want to each find the place that’s the best fit for us. He’s blowing up big-time. His athleticism is getting him a lot of looks, so it’s been fun to see both sides of it.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Maybe we need to hire their dad as an assistant coach. LOL - because that worked so well with Conley Clarke? #HWMNBN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTex Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yep. But the Acres family worked out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yep. But the Acres family worked out pretty well. Oh, I know - just teasing. For some reason that image of CC sitting on the bench, literally twiddling his thumbs in his two-sizes-too-small-suit-he-got-married-in, just popped into my brain.

Old Titan Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I gotta admit, I didn't realize today was National Signing Day - thought it was later this month. At least one more to come today, I suppose - R.J. Smith out of Olathe (KS). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
