Griffs pick up Bronx forward
Chris Manhertz, a 6-5 power forward from Cardinal Spellman High in the Bronx, has given a verbal commitment to Canisius according to a source. Manhertz is the 172nd ranked power forward in the country according to ESPN.com who has this to say about him:
'"Manhertz has very good leaping ability and athleticism, which helps him to overcome his lack of height for the post. He has very good quickness and when he receives the ball in the paint, he attacks the rim with great vigor. He rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the floor due to his good, quick leaping ability, length, as well as his overall aggression with respect to rebounding. He runs the floor very well and can finish in transition. Manhertz will have to continue to work on his post moves as well as add counter moves to his post repertoire for the paint when he encounters bigs with a height advantage."
The fall signing period begins Wednesday.
