Green Bay I bet loved watching that. Yeah he would almost certainly play right away or at least given every opportunity too.

I think it is good for the program that they are going after MP as their top target, hopefully they can secure the deal. I know he wanted to commit in January according the interview that he did earlier this season. I read on twitter today that St. Bonnie's went to his game recently. They were also going to look at Teyvion Kirk.

Unless he wants to stay in his home city, I really do not see why GB wouldn't be his top option

Throw Coach K and Toledo into the mix

I guess the longer this goes on, the more it worries me. He's had the GB offer for long enough and Linc has met with him and been to enough of his games. If he was that into the program, my guess is he would've made a commitment by now.

Don't worry guys because MP is just OK in my opinion. From what I can tell GB wants and needs guys who can score and run and MP is not the top for either. He is not a big scorer but a good rebounder, big body and help defense shot blocker. 90% of his points is from put backs or offensive rebounds which is good but I wouldn't be upset if GB didn't get him. He has room to grow and may turn into a form of Lowe maybe. I believe there is a reason he still out there especially after playing for Meanstreets (EYBL) and Y&R the last 2 years... Look at Adaway for Toledo and what he has done because MP is very similar but Adaway was better in high school than MP is.
It would be nice to get him and see where he fit in but not a total miss if GB didn't.

It would be nice to get him and see where he fit in but not a total miss if GB didn't. I have been a big supporter of GB trying to land him. Somewhere on the board I wrote that I thought he was mostly an interior player at this time but my interest is that he has good size, is coordinated, and should help on defense while getting on the glass. No offense to some of the interior guys GB has had in the past but they were either undersized, uncoordinated or got pushed around. MP seems like a guy who could give them a little of what the other big guys on the team next year don't have. I am all for recruiting a different big guy, I just believe they need a big in this class and he seems to be the best of the names out there.

UWGB AC Ben Swank was in attendance at Sandburg to watch 2017 signee P.J. Pipes. Phoenix also remain very much involved w/ Manny Patterson.

Manny tweeted "commitment coming soon...." last night. I'd post the link but it looks like he made his account private

Under the circumstances he or any other post would be assured of major minutes at GB but trying to guess the mind of an 18 year old is something I have stopped trying to do. I'd like an FBI bug of Darner's cell phone right now and I wouldn't be upset if he is in contact with sources in Russia or eastern Europe. ;-)

I love the effort and that he wants to be a post player. Thankfully I am not a referee because it looks like he shuffles his feet on the catch and then travels again after the spin by jumping off of his back foot after lifting his pivot foot. If someone did that move against GB the Resch would be raining down boo's on the refs for a no call
