“James is perfect for our system,” WSU coach Scott Nagy said. “He has great hands and is a tremendous passer. He handles the ball very well, and is extremely effective in the post. James will be a matchup problem for most teams as they try to figure out how to guard him. He will have an opportunity to impact our team right away.”
Manns joins a 2017-18 recruiting class that includes Tyler Mitchell, a 6-foot guard from Kings High School; Jaylon Hall, a 6-5 guard from Doss High in Louisville, Ky.
The Raiders also added South Dakota State transfer Cole Gentry, a 5-10 guard who is eligible to play this fall, and Drake transfer Bill Wampler, a 6-6 forward who will be eligible in 2018-19.
