Rothstein confirmed on Twitter LINK
I really don’t get this one. He was getting decent minutes on a tournament team and was arguably our best wing defender. Big loss.

Have you seen the way we’ve played since he left?

Must be more to the story

Hate seeing this guy go... he was a good player who contributed and could have contributed good minutes to this team... good luck Charles Manning...

It seems he had a lot of friends on the team, but sometimes things are pretty simple: guy was getting less and less minutes, Gaines is coming on, he didn’t want to be the 9th guy and play 7 minutes a game.
Selfishly we want him to stay, be a spark, practice hard, etc etc. But these guys want to play. Really can’t blame him for leaving, I’m sure he was going through the motions and pretty checked out. I think it’s beneficial for both parties. Wish him nothing but the best.

Processed.

It was mutual, the staff 100% believes they are better without him.

Both Wade and Jordy pretty much said this was not voluntary. Sounds like he was kicked off the team or processed due to a negative attitude.

He's a senior (though he will have one more year of eligibility remaining). He wasn't starting and his minutes were going down each game. Gaines became someone Wade wanted to play more and that meant there was going to be less of Manning. He probably wanted to go somewhere where he can start. That looks like South Alabama.
Coming into the season he looked like a guy who was probably going to start at the 3 spot. But he had some injury issues in the preseason/beginning of the season which allowed Wilkinson to step in to a bigger role. One that Wilkinson, for this team, is performing really well. It does hurt your depth (particularly if an injury arises) but LSU has been just fine

Funny landing spot. The USA coach, Richie Riley, is a good friend of Wade's.

I know nothing but it looked like Wilkinson beat him out and he couldn’t deal with it.

Manning wanted to be a scorer but there is only one basketball and we already had four scorers starting. Some players can reconcile themselves to being backup spot players and others can't. They all spend thousands of hours developing their talent with the goal of getting in the NBA and it is tough when they see those dreams slipping away.

I went to both USA and LSU so part of me is happy about this and the other part is sad
