North Carolina stunned most recruiting analysts with its commitment from Jackie Manuel. Manuel is a perimeter oriented 6-5, 175 pound small forward from Cardinal Newman H.S. in West Palm Beach, Fla. Manuel was seen as a lock for either Florida or Notre Dame, with Florida leading until Carolina received a verbal commitment from him. Manuel is a well-rounded player that can shoot the three and break to the basket as well.
Manuel was a surprise performer at the Adidas ABCD Camp. After his performance at the camp, Manuel's stock increased as other schools tried to contact him.
