Reed lands first recruit
New Lehigh head coach Brett Reed has received his first commitment -- a big man from New Jersey.

Justin Maneri a 6-foot-8 frontcourt type, says he will become an Engineer Mountain Hawk following his senior season at Saddle Brook High School in North Jersey.

Maneri was a second-team Herald News All-Area selection last season when he averaged 21 points and 13 rebounds per game. Maneri also got a look from Lafayette, NJIT and Quinnipiac, but said Lehigh was the only school to offer a scholarship.

In other recruiting news, that big kid from the Bahamas seen roaming Lewisburg recently was Probese Leo, a 6-9, 220-pound senior who is playing at St. Pius X H.S. in Houston. Leo moved to Houston last year to enter the Frank Rutherford Elite Athletic Development Program. Leo plays AAU ball for the Houston HoopStars.

The Nassau Guardian says Leo, who has more than 20 offers, will also visit Lafayette, Rice, Furman and Dormont "- all private schools in which he plans to study rocket science."
