Hawaii men’s basketball team gets 6-foot-7 wing from Davidson
The University of Hawaii men’s basketball team today secured a signed commitment from a 6-foot-7, defensive-minded wing from Davidson College. Manie Joses said he signed a contract with UH and will join the Rainbow Warriors in June. He will have at least two years of UH eligibility.
(He will have three years if the NCAA approves a measure to allow players five seasons. ) “It’s a great fit for me as a player and as a person,” Joses said of his decision. “It’s a great place that values tradition and family.
That aligns with my values as well. ” With quickness, tenacity and a 7-foot-1 wing span, Joses provides one-through-five defense, rebounding, steals and blocks. “He’s super athletic, high-level athletic,” said Marty Clarke, a technical director for the NBA’s international-development program.
“He has a big, long wing span. He runs the floor, good offensive rebounder, good cutter. He’s really quick off the floor.
He blocks a lot of jump shots. People think they’re open, and suddenly he swallows up space. ” Joses was born and reared in London.
