Zoe Manning brings size, rebounding, and old-school post toughness to SMU
In the 2022-23 season, Zoe Manning was a 6-4 center whose value came more from presence than box-score volume: SMU listed her for inside size, great footwork, toughness, and rebounding ability, and she was ranked as the No. 16 center prospect and No. 111 overall recruit coming out of high school[1][5]. Her earlier profile also points to a strong student-athlete with leadership and championship pedigree, which usually translates into reliable culture-fit minutes when a team wants a physical interior body[1].
