Kenny Manigault - Verballed to Wichita State

[Wuzee]

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.

if hes from the same lineage as Earl then Id say hes worth the shot.

If Wichita State were a dating prospect, we would be classified as geographically undesirable compared to the rest of those suitors....

But if anyone can land this kid against that competition, it's HCGM

Scout now has Manigault as a 4 star, in the top 100 at number 95.

[KochHead22]

Hmm scout doesnt show any of the teams recruiting him.

Wichita State is apparently no longer on Manigault's list of schools showing interest. South Carolina's new head coach visited him last week, and the other schools listed are Clemson, Georgia Tech, Elon, Presbyterian, The Citadel, Charleston Southern and the College of Charleston.

There is still interest between WSU and Manigault. In fact, WSU will be his first visit. "I leave June 27th to visit Wichita State for their Elite camp. I am looking forward to it," Manigault said. He says WSU is one of the schools hardest on him along with South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Winthrop, Presbyterian, Richmond and Florida State.

His list of schools is very lengthy now. I'll put the rest in the recruiting summary.

Just the visit is HUGE.

Is there anyway to find out who will be at the elite camp and if outsiders can watch

[tropicalshox]

Calling the Dobo should give you an answer about being able to watch. As far as I can tell it's on June 28th.

Getting Kenny into town is definitely a good thing.

It'd be interesting to see/know who will/may be in attendance...

[rrshock]

At least this is a good sign. How many other 4 star guys have come to visit WSU? I'm guessing less than a handfull in the past 15 or more years, if even that.

So he can come on a recruting trip and attend a camp at the same time, or is it the other way around?

[SubGod22]

It's a camp so it doesn't count toward eithers visitation numbers assuming he's paying for it. This is how a lot of non seniors visit schools they're interested in.

[tropicalshox]

Official visits (paid by the school) don't start until school starts for Seniors. Before that it's all unofficial (paid by the recruit) and those are unlimited.

Kenny has dropped out of the Scout 100. I'm sure he's still close and perhaps will get back in on the next update. He couldn't play in a couple of major AAU tournaments due to injury so others had a better chance to make a favorable impression.
