Kenny Manigault, a one time Scout 4* & ranked #95 in the nation recruit (he since dropped in the rankings--most likely because he missed a few AAU tournaments this summer), has verballed to WSU.

Class of 2009.

Ever since Kenny Manigault (debuted) a couple of years ago at the Chick-Fil-A Classic, he has been an intriguing prospect. At 6-foot-4, 185-pounds, he can play multiple positions and looks the most comfortable playing the point.

Manigault is a jack of all trades type of prospect. On Friday, he was slowed by a hand injury that he suffered in the third quarter but did enough in the blowout to show his role with the time. Keep an eye on him this spring.

The Pinewood Prep (S.C.) product said he is hearing from a wide range of schools. Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Wichita State, Winthrop, Richmond, Elon, Charleston Southern and Presbyterian are on his list and it should certainly grow after the spring period.

Schools that were interested and/or offered (because along with stars, it's how we judge recruits now I guess) include North Carolina, Stanford, Michigan, VCU, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Winthrop, the Citadel, Richmond, Elon, Charleston Southern and Presbyterian.

He and his family came to WSU's Elite Camp a few weeks ago and left very impressed.

So, in other words, NC, Stanford, Michigan, Virginia, South Carolina and Ga Tech were interested and VCU, the Citadel, Richmond, Elon, Charleston Southern and Presbyterian all offered?

I kid...that's what I do!!!

I'm a fan of the jack of all trade types...good for when guys go down w/ injuries (which WSU is no stranger to lately) they can fill in at 2 or 3 different positions w/out much let down in production.

Saw this over on our board this morning. He should be a pretty good player for the shockers in the future. I'm glad they are getting some good recruits these days.

Haha.

Well, supposedly UNC and Stanford came after him at the Take5 Classic, which was pretty late in the game. Michigan was late too.

But South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia Tech, and VCU (who isn't anything to sneeze at anymore as long as Jeff Capel is there) were all in on him decently early and were close to offering if they didn't.

He took unnoficial visits to USC, VCU, Richmond, and was going to visit Virginia sometime this month, but I guess that's cancelled now.

Aren't we all! ;)

Add Marquette, SMU, Florida State, Chattanooga, UNC Wilmington, Holy Cross, and Coastal Carolina as schools that were at least interested.
