Our top priority last year was senior leadership, a go to scorer, and backcourt talent. We accomplished all of those by bringing in Kassius, and went from the worst team in MU history to the NCAA tourney in large part because Mann brought him to MU.

This is how Mann plans to be successful in Michigan with the Tigers. Spot talent early, establish a relationship and fend off top in-state programs.

“My eye is my eye,” Mann said. “I don’t really look at rankings, stars. I don’t even know what that means. Recruiting has a lot to do with your eye. There’s a lot that goes into that. I like kids that like to grind it out. A couple of times guys that are highly talented aren’t the kids that grind it out.”

Three of the players Mann has recruited are currently starters. He was the lead recruiter for Missouri graduate transfer Kassius Robertson, as well as Nick Babb at Iowa State and Illinois transfer Kendrick Nunn at Oakland, where he landed after Iowa State.

Coincidentally, none of them are from Michigan.

Mann tries to get to other parts of the country every summer, so he has a backup plan in case a Michigan recruit goes elsewhere.

          Yeah, who has Mann brought in? I don't believe anyone - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 08:38:19
               He brought in our best player last year, Kassius (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 08:46:56
                    High school players from Chicagoland and Michigan? - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 08:47:55
                         Well that is a silly way to limit roster building - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 08:56:07
                              I'm not saying we shouldn't have signed Kash or Santos - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:02:58
                                   Well, good thing that Rich Daly brought in - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:08:00
                                        Who else did he bring in from the HS ? You guys - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:12:37
                                             I don't really follow recruiting like that, so I'm the wrong - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:17:14
                                                  The concern is the OP. Perhaps the KA stain is still looming - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:23:32
                                                       Look at the timeline for other similar programs trying - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:30:25
                                                            Lol. Yeah we were D2 pretty much. I didn't think we had - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:35:15
                                                                 We are at the absolute minimum required threshold - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:36:29
                                                       I get what you're saying. I really think Cuonzo is going to - Uncle John MU - 9/7 09:28:47
                         why not count transfers? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 08:54:10
               Kash and Pinson - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 08:42:35
                    Not counting transfers and Pinson might, MIGHT be - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 08:49:14
                         Too small of a sample size so far. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 9/7 11:40:54
                         Kash was a huge get - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 08:51:41
                              Of course Kash was a huge get. I'm just not impressed - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 08:59:38
                                   When you recruit elite high school talent, its a - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:02:08
                                        Not his first year recruiting, however. Feej, I'm not stupid - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:06:43
                                             You should be, he’s been good as an assistant - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 09:13:23
                                                  Not impressed with his ability to bring in HS talent - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:19:08
                                                       why such a focus on high school talent? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 09:23:50
                                                            Hey, I've been proven wrong before. Fuller was much better - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:33:52
                                                                 Fuller like Mann was really good at recruiting transfers - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 09:44:46
                                             Right, so he had prior work to kids he was recruiting at - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:12:08
                                                  I'm taking it one step further than Santos and Kash, which - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:20:40
                                                       As a serious response, - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:26:30
                                                            RE: As a serious response, - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:40:25
                                                       Sounds like a productive use of an hour (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:22:22
                                                            Post counts?(nm) - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:26:20
                         You're not counting transfers - Domino MU - 9/7 08:51:06
                              Yes he has. However, Pinson is really his only HS get - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:00:59
                                   You appear to be creating this premise - Domino MU - 9/7 09:20:07
                                   He was never pegged as an elite recruiter - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 09:09:23
                                        I don't doubt he's knowledgeable with Hoiberg's system - Diamond Dave MU - 9/7 09:15:15
                                             Other than the Kim years, we also had the worst pg play at - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:19:55

                                                       Agree, I don't expect much of if any improvement (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:50:19
                                                  Quinn wasn’t great at recruiting PG’s either - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 09:25:43
                                                       That is why I said by a mile, rather than by - FIJItiger MU - 9/7 09:31:44
                                                            Mike Anderson has been the best at recruiting the position (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/7 09:47:07
