three things. It could be positive, negative or neutral for Manti. I'm sure some people can find something positive about it. He's a great, caring, loving, God fearing, yet naive individual... I'm leaning towards neutral to minimal negative impact on his pick status. However, he is no where near the poster child/media darling he once was.... That's the sadness of this hoax. It unnecessarily and cruelly harmed one of ND's all time great players. How that is measured is yet to play out....
In the end, he'll make any team he goes to better.
