Did he visit Penn State? Never ceases to amaze me that people willingly go to that school.

i haven't seen us mentioned with this kid in a real long time. That would be the most stealth thing ever, if its true.

Anyone thinking he may be a better fit than Ogundele?

Manuel was highly sought after and recruited out of HS and was a Top 150 kid.

If he commits here, is he here for 2nd semester and eligibility immediately? Or does he come next Fall?

That’s a great question. I’d assume right away or mid-semester.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 years ago If he commits here, is he here for 2nd semester and eligibility immediately? Or does he come next Fall?

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
Go look earlier in this thread there’s articles of he mentioning he wanting to visit us as well as Rhody83 saying one of our assistants visiting him in Philly during the season ticket holder eventDC_Rams wrote: ↑4 years agoI’ve mentioned that before.

Would he be coming in as a soph or jr?

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
It has been deciphered that “stay tuned Monday 12” means he is announcing where he is committing? Maybe he announcing his final 3 or final 5. He hasn’t been to Kingston this recruiting cycle. It was thought he was making his RI visit Homecoming weekend.

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
He has had a few bumps along the way. I don't think anyone knows his academic situation as to whether he has enough credits to enroll. He may just need to complete this semester or he may need to complete two semesters.

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
Seems odd that he’d possibly commit to Rhody if he hasn’t taken an OV yet. Has he been to the school. Obviously Cox and Co have put some work in if he’s considering without visiting. One can hope...

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
Could be he visited Penn State and URI and WV are just there to make it look like there's a decision being made. Or it could be the Penn State official didn't happen, haven't seen it confirmed anywhere, and he really is making a choice without OVs.

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
I think he was planning to visit next weekend....maybe he's moving it up?
Still if he's making a decision one way or the other on Monday, how would he know it's us before then?
Unless he's already been here, that is.

And more importantly (for me anyway) 2.2 blocks per game.

I think it's valdir_manuel_14. It's not open, you have to request.

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
He kept committing hoping he'd get in academically, which didn't happen. He claims he now takes academics seriously. I absolutely would give him a shot.

Definitely PSU or is that just the assumption?

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
I’m leaning that way as well. Would love to see him in keaney gray but think it’s a long shot at this point given the lack of visit. Hope we’re wrong.

He is going to announce on IG tomorrow at noon. Only OV of the three finalist was Penn State. Not hard to figure this out.

The problem is: can he clear the clearinghouse?
If he can't, and it would seem things are leaning in that direction, what is the point?

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
I see. I was reading some old posts from the Boneyard UConn msg board and I thought they were talking about him enrolling in the fall and possibly being eligible by January. But that was in the spring, so his situation is probably not the same.

Re: '20 JUCO PF - Valdir Manuel (Offer)
Even though he's probabiy not coming here, I wondered if the possibility that he would might speed up Ogundele's decision. I guess it didn't. What's plan C if we don't get either one of them?
