There has already been a couple of college programs that have identified the Gahanna Lincoln sophomore as a prospect.
“I’ve had a couple coaches come at me, a lot of them call my mom a lot and I’ve been getting stuff in the mail. I think it’s really going to start taking off either this summer or my junior year,” said the Gahanna Lincoln point guard.
“I think this AAU season will be very important because I’m a real hard-working kid, and I’m going to improve during the summer and next high school season I’ll be much more improved.”
The schools that have been reaching out so far are of the low-major Division I variety.
“My mom likes to keep all that (recruitment) away from me because she doesn’t want me to be big-headed or nothing like that,” said Manjon. “But a couple schools she mentioned were Austin Peay, and then Western Michigan. Mostly low D1 schools and a lot of D2 schools.”
A speedy floor-general with a penchant for putting the ball in the hoop, Manjon defined his playing style to PHOH.
“I think I’m a playmaker, my ball-handling is really good and I’m a pretty good shooter; 3-point and mid-range,” said Manjon. “I like to use the pick-and-roll, and I like to speed things up on the court and get everyone involved early.”
As his sophomore season winds down at Gahanna Lincoln, Manjon is eager to finish out strong, and mentioned what his role will be moving forward.
“This year it’s me and few other sophomores on varsity, and we have to be more mature. And my role is to be a pass-first point guard, and to look for my shot when necessary,” said Manjon. “And I’m a very coach-able kid, so I just look for my coach to lead me and tell me what to do on the court.”
