Four-star power forward Trevor Manuel announced Thursday that he intends to play college basketball at the University of Oregon.
According to Andrew Nemec of the Oregonian, Manuel, class of 2015, called Oregon head coach Dana Altman earlier in the day to let his future head coach know of his commitment to the Ducks. Manuel visited campus this past weekend and attended the Oregon vs. Michigan State football game. Manuel told Nemec how impressive the visit was for him.
“It was everything. Every part that they showed me, I loved it,” Manuel told Nemec. “Everything they showed me I absolutely fell in love with.”
Manuel is transferring to Lansing Everett for his senior season after playing for Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.
According to 247Sports, Manuel is the 93rd best overall player – and the 21st best power forward – in the country.
Manuel was considering Northwestern, USC, Wake Forest, Florida State, Kansas State and Michigan State before committing to Oregon.
