Manuel, who has previously committed to Seton Hall, St. Joe’s and St. John’s before attending junior college, averaged 13.3 points and 10.1 rebounds last season at Harcum while shooting 54 percent from the field. He previously starred at New Jersey prep power St. Patrick where he showed tremendous scoring variety in the paint.
“I have multiple skill dimensions,” the native of Angola said on Friday. “I can face up, I can dribble, I can rebound, I can defend, I can defend pick-and-roll. And I’m 6-10.
“And I’m more mature now. I take academics very serious now.”
