I created my first Twitter account in order to keep tabs on Tanner Mangum, who was a junior in high school at the time. In addition to posting pictures of Brandon Doman making an in-home visit, Mangum’s Twitter feed included references to BYU and some classic Taylor Swift fanboying. More than anything, he just seemed like a really good kid who was an exceptionally gifted athlete.
So it was no surprise to me that he opted to gray shirt prior to his two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile in order to preserve post-mission eligibility.
