Recruiting update: Valdir Manuel, a 2019 Harcum College JUCO recruit, announced his commitment to St. John’s for next season.
The former commit to Saint Joseph's and to Seton Hall is currently at Harcum College, a junior college near Philadelphia (and down the street from Villanova and Bryn Mawr). Manuel visited for a game in Queens to check out the program.
Turns out he was serious enough to commit today.
The 6’9”, 210 pound Angolan forward is known to be solidly athletic, can rebound (10.7 total rebounds per game in JUCO, grabbed 22% of opponents’ misses in EYBL play with the NJ Playaz, which is very good).
