I feel that there is a lot of deflection in this thread. Pope and Wiggins have been getting open all year and were in position for huge chunk plays that would’ve given us a win last night. They simply can't consistently catch the ball. Harley was dropping balls throughout his career and early this season. The only difference is he actually started making plays and all of us took notice. Had Pope and Wiggins did the same thing we would be praising their improvement.
People want to blame Manny but the players were put in a position to win us the game, Pope and Wiggins didn't execute.
Going forward, Redding, X, K. Smith, B. Smith, George, and Brinson will take these spots.
How quick people forget that Redding and K. Smith were out with covid for about 3 games down the stretch. Let's not over think this, they are true freshman that missed valuable time while guys like Pope and Wiggins were making big plays against NC St and Vtech.
