Up in New Jersey, many will get a chance to see 2022 6'10 Lual Manyang back on the court for Blair Academy after missing several months due to an injury. The Bucs are off to a 5-2 start this season and they will now have their senior center back to make them even more dangerous.

'For the last nine months, I was focused on rehab, my shooting, ball-handling, and watching game film of either college games, my high school games, or NBA games,' Manyang told Phenom Hoops.   And now, I'm excited to be back on the court, to be playing with my team again.'

Getting a chance to showcase more of his game, the senior center is hoping to display more of his ability to be a help defender, a rim-protector, his rim-running, setting screens, and how he can roll hard to create open shots for his team. Offensively, he wants to show more of his mid-range game, ability to stretch the floor, and how strong he can be at the rim.' But most importantly, he just wants to help Blair Academy win games.

Though Manyang is just getting back on the court, that doesn't mean his recruitment has slowed down.' He just earned another offer from UCSB recently and holds offers from Hofstra, VCU, Siena, Saint Louis, Bryant, Charlotte, UMass, George Mason, NJIT, Seton Hall, and Manhattan.

When speaking to him about the latest in his recruitment, he talked about his latest offer and who else has been continuing to stay strong with him.

'I'm grateful to earn an offer from UCSB,' Manyang said.' 'UCSB likes my skill set and the impact I can bring to the game, as well as my height, effort, and energy.' Hofstra, La Salle, Siena, and others (continue to stay strong in his recruitment).

Manyang has already taken unofficial visits to Hofstra and Siena, as he got a chance to watch Hofstra’s practice and a scrimmage at Siena.' But he also mentioned that there are schools that he will be visiting soon but nothing has been set since he just is getting back from his injury.'

But after he takes his visit, it doesn't seem like the 2022 senior center won’t take much longer in making his decision.

'I will decide after my official visits.'
