Whoever the cyclone fan that created the mannyacs twitter account is pretty overbearing, borderline creepy

In all seriousness you probably just doubled the guys 23 followers though interesting that 23 includes Otz and Malou.....
On Saturday, Hurley then met with Emmanuel Malou, a 6-9 power forward from Yuba (CA) College.
“He was just showing me that I could fit in a be a factor next year at ASU,” Malou told SNY.tv.
“I like the location, the opportunity of education they have, the facility, the fact that they have Coach Hurley. That’s a big bonus.”

I see it as confirmation that Emmanuel Malou actually exists and has the ability to play at the high-major level. Still have to like where we sit with him.
ASU seems to have a real chance with Thon Maker. Not sure if Maker going to ASU would help or hurt them with Malou. Certainly makes ASU seem more like a destination but both seem like stretch bigs. That said, Maker to ASU on the surface seems like a surprise. New coach of course, but when was the last time ASU was any good?
Exactly, ASU may be a nice destination, but their BB program and fan support is garbage.
As long as high ranked kids continue to go to UNLV, I'm convinced those things don't matter.
Besides, Hurley being the coach there now is enough to begin a change. If he puts together a couple decent teams, things may begin to change. Then of course he'll move on to a bigger job, but nonetheless he himself can start a change.
Maker & his mentor/caretaker or whatever have pretty big connections to an ASU assistant & Hurley I believe. I'd be really surprised if Maker didn't end up there.
I could be wrong, but doesn't Hurley kind of have a background like Fred? I know he has previous coaching experience, but for some reason I felt like he had done some kind of front office work somewhere too. Am I completely wrong with that? I probably am.
His dad is a legendary HS coach, he was a McDonald's all American, played at Duke, 7th overall draft pick, 5 years in NBA, scout one year for Philadelphia, asst coach for couple college teams, then head coach at Buffalo, now head coach at Az St.
Additionally owns race horses, and appeared in the film Blue Chips, as a player on Bob Knight's Indiana team.
