As diehards of this site (Mom? Are you there?) already know, The Hoops Manifesto runs a College Dunk of the Year Tournament every spring.  While we're a long way off from crowning 2011/12's champion, this one could be the potential winner: Saint Joseph's Ronald Roberts Jr. soars to the rack.





Other Dunk of the Year Nominees: Jeremy Lamb, Eric Griffin (MUST SEE!!), Olek Czyz, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Tony Mitchell.
