Drake basketball is rebuilding, and the Bulldogs’ roster has grown by one with the commitment of Wyoming transfer Cam Manyawu.
The 6-foot-10 forward joined Drake, marking the fifth commitment since Ben McCollum took over as head coach following Darian DeVries’ departure to West Virginia.
Manyawu – a native of Kansas City, Missouri – played in 31 games and started nine for Wyoming during the 2023-24 season. In his first year of college basketball, he averaged 7.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in 22.5 minutes of playing time per game.
He joined the Cowboys after winning a state championship with Staley High School in 2023.
In high school, Manyawu was ranked as the No. 9 prospect in Missouri and the No. 53 offensive lineman in the country by 247Sports. He earned first-team all-state honors and played in the Kansas City Metro All-Star game as a senior.
Manyawu was recruited by Indiana State – among others – before choosing Wyoming.
