Anyone else think the agent just put this out there to try and up the figure from Vanderbilt?
Chris Manon from Cornell to Seton Hall per his agency on X
- Thread starter newshu1
- Start date
Hope to land Manon and obviously retain Richmond. Then Felton off the bench could make this a,formidable back court. Sha has good options in his game management.
I would be reluctant to play Addae-Wusu at the 4 except in certain situations. The Hall needs length in the froncourt. Godswill is decent start, but assuming a,reserve to start the season.

Manon can play. Would be a very good pickup.
My sigh was because another Seton hall player who can aggressively take it to the rim is just what Connecticut needs.

Not sure if trades are legal yet, but I’ll gladly trade for a UConn outside shooterMy sigh was because another Seton hall player who can aggressively take it to the rim is just what Connecticut needs.
What about the one that resides in Omaha? More wins against Hurley-led UConn than any other. Three more than Seton Hall, in fact.
For what it's worth, we were miserable at the end of the year. I don't think we shot even 30% from three. Arguably, our best three-point shooter is in the portal though.

Shooting 55.6% from three. He also comes with an awesome nickname "the Greek kid."
I think the transfer up is relative to the team any kid is playing on. And a lot of it has to do with what the coach can 1). See what the kid needs to work on and 2). Be able to improve that.
There will always be cases of players working out and not working out. Always.
But I don’t get the posters that enjoy noting the players that don’t work out and then become the warning of too much hype.
Like hey it’s Christmas tomorrow but don’t get excited! Remember the year you didn’t get what you wanted?

I think there are opportunities to pick up kids who are playing in a system that's bad for them, particularly if they are a good fit in the system you use. Reed was like that for us. The sense is that he'll be a much better player at Connecticut.
I'm not a fan of Wusu at the 4 at all. To be honest, I think if Richmond returns and Wusu does as well, Coleman starts the season in a 6th man role. I'd think Richmond Manon Wusu Prince and a starting caliber C that we get from the portal will make up the starting 5 with Coleman playing significant minutes off the bench at the 1, 2 and 3 positions
I can see Godswill being the backup C for us next year playing 10-12 minutes off the bench as well. At this point all he'd have to do is be better than NgaNga which is possible based on what I seen from him this past season. Unless Ozdogan makes a significant jump this offseason
Because nobody is allowed to break news around here except Halldan…
Unless he grows another 2-3 inches between now and the start of the season he should be considered a backup point guard, starting shooting guard or small forward in a pinch
Or, I know from those in contact with BlueChip Sports more than probably anyone else on the board.
VERY STRONG lean but he has not committed yet and is now at Vanderbilt.
We'll know exact details next week.

With Elijah Fisher visiting now and Manon a strong lean, would we possibly take both??
They are both the size of a 3.
We only have 2 spots open and have only an incoming freshman at center right now.
One of those spots has to go to an established 5, right?
Unless 1 of our bench players will not be asked back?

My question is why? Money really distorts the kids desire to win I guess.
A world class education in a great city to go along with the money, probably doesn’t hurt
He seems like more of a combo/scoring guard so I think it could impact Manon to some extent.
Manon is a guy who needs to have scorers around him. Hes a 3rd option at this level. This commit for vandy is a first / second option. It always could make an impact, but strikingly different player profiles
That would really surprise me. I'll see what I can find out tomorrow. SHU was a STRONG favorite but not a lock from what I was being told.
Wait—this kid was at Cornell for 4 years.
I think it’s all about $$ and playing time.
He can't play at Cornell because the Ivies don't allow grad students to play.
My question (and it may have been addressed elsewhere) is how many years of eligibility he has. His freshman year was 2020-21 and the Ivies didn't play that season. Presumably he has a redshirt year plus his extra COVID season.
I have stuff I can't share now which is why I said "that would really surprise me"
I do not have access to Trilly's paysite but someone just told me he changed his SHU is out to it's now SHU and Richmond.
Based on recent history, I don't count on any freshmen helping much. Despite the optimistic hype from fans [here], the over-hype plus the reality of the Big East play gives me pause.
