re: What did Manny miles end up doing?

It's not the number one factor by any means, and I have scouted and coached baseball specifically for some time. However, I've had experience with major programs recruiting pitchers and they rarely even take a look at a guy less than 6' tall to receive a major scholly. There are exceptions and every program is different. That's just what I've experienced and LSU is one of the more critical of the colleges from my experience.

Manny doesn't want any favors done for him. I expect he'll play college football or baseball somewhere still.
