WSU Assistant Coach Earl Grant is leaving his post for a similar job at Clemson. Freshman guarde Kenny Manigualt is leaving the men’s basketball program to get “closer to home.” Both are from the Charleston area in South Carolina.
It sounds to me like maybe Grant recruited Manigualt, who spent his time on the bench this season but was one of WSU’s most promising freshman players. It will be interesting to see if Manigualt, who has so far only said he is leaving for personal reasons, will try to play ball elsewhere.
A post on Manigualt’s Facebook wall says he is transferring, but comments to his friends say he is not sure where. This doesn’t sound like he’s terribly sure he wants to be closer to home, necessarily. It sounds more to me like he doesn’t want to sit on the bench at WSU, and understands his ability to get some play time.
Someone outright asked him if he is going to Clemson with Grant, to which he replied that he is not sure where he is going. It should be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

You're correct in that Grant was Manigault's recruiter. However, I can almost guarantee he won't end up at Clemson, as he's not talented enough to play at that level. Also, SCOOP: Kenny was kicked off team. It was pretty well-known in the dorms. He was an attitude problem late in the season and wasn't putting in the work. Of course, they'll never say that publicly.
