Expert Analysis
Tony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
A lead guard with great size at 6-5, Manago is one of the best rebounding guards in the state and he showcased that throughout the afternoon on Saturday. He loves to compete against the bigger bodies in the paint, and he’s always a threat to take it coast-to-coast after pulling down a defensive board. He finishes really well through contact at the rim with either hand, and it looks like he has continued to put work into his jumper, routinely knocking down shots from the mid-range and distance off both the dribble and the catch.

Manago has been one of the most productive players in the 2025 class throughout the last few years, routinely putting up big numbers for the Wahawks. He’s an athletic, skilled guard who can control the game in a multitude of ways, and he’s one of the best rebounding guards in the state. His ability to put the ball on the floor and create quality looks not just for himself, but for his teammates, will make him a player that should thrive in this setting and he’ll be a ton of fun to have as a teammate.

A plus-athlete who thrives when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim, Manago put up huge numbers for the Wahawks as a junior, averaging 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. He’s one of the best rebounding guards in the state, using his length and a great second jump to compete on the glass on both ends of the floor.

A lead guard with good size at 6-3, Manago is able to put constant pressure on opposing defenses with his combination of ball-handling, quickness, and physicality. He’s great on the glass from his guard position, pulling down 5.8 rebounds a game as a sophomore. He’s at his best offensively when he’s attacking the rim and getting the defense to collapse. He’ll need to continue to work on his jumper after shooting under 26% from 3 last season, but there are a lot of tools here to work with and a really nice frame to continue building on.

Manago jumps off the page, sort to speak, when you watch this group play. He’s incredibly long and a great athlete, and he uses those attributes to his advantage on both ends of the floor. He’s really good on the glass and is a good enough ball-handler and decision-maker to lead the break after pulling down a defensive rebound. He has a huge wingspan that he uses to really bother opposing ball-handlers, and he moves his feet well when playing on-ball defense. On the offensive end, he can play with or without the ball in his hands, cutting hard when operating off the ball, and getting his teammates involved at a high clip when he’s initiating the offense.
