What schools are pursuing him?

Ain't played nobody, PAWL!
Seems about right given his level of HS competition.

My understanding is that other, bigger schools are in touch but haven't offered.
He is big, strong and relatively quick for his size. The intangibles are higher than the measurables. Lamot is an incredible competitor. He will likely play defense in college although he could be a receiver or a running back.
He is also an excellent student.

N. Guilford has 2 or 3 consecutive State Championships. Western Alamance is also a powerhouse and is currently undefeated. Their conference is not easy.

Ha. The point is that whatever the measurables are, his heart and tenacity are greater.

sounds like he needs a doctor more than a scholarship
Two items from this past week:
There are reports that WR Donald Stewart (Paramus, NJ) has set his official visit to Wake for October 25th. He also set up visits to Michigan (November) and Stanford (January). It's interesting that he set up his Wake visit before other schools like Vandy, Boston College or Rutgers. Wake may be well positioned if things don't work out at Michigan or Stanford. I'm assuming he will be at the N.C. State game. Here's hoping for a big crowd.
Tremayne Anchrum has pushed back his decision timeframe (it was originally set for earlier this month). He is now at least considering taking more official visits and Wake is reportedly one of the schools he is considering. Nebraska is currently considered to the favorite to land Anchrum although Colorado may be in the picture as well.
Other than recruits like Stewart, Collins, Kamara and Anchrum (if he wants to visit), I continue to think this class is effectively closed.

A quick refresh look at the scholarship situation for 2016.
RSF's chart (see the OP in this thread) shows 94 scholarships players for 2016 before considering graduations or grayshirts. He is missing Tyler Watson, so increase that number to 95.
Based on playing time this season it looks like there are 6 players that would seem unlikely to return for a 5th year: Ward, J. Williams, Suggs, Lewinson, Matthews and Donatell. The biggest question mark of that group might be Lewinson who may have been sidelined with injuries earlier this season and is now starting to see a few snaps on defense.
If you assume 6 early graduations, that would leave only 4 scholarships that - absent other attrition - would need to be managed through grayshirting or blueshirting. Clawson has said that they will be transparent about those options with recruits at the time they commit. There won't be last minute surprises like what happened to Matt Colburn at Louisville.
It has been reported that Bryant Gross-Armiento is now considering his football future after a 2nd ACL tear in the same knee. I'll mention it as part of this discussion even though I would love to see him on the field for the Deacs one day.
In most years it seems like 1-2 players have left the program after the fall semester. We'll see. I am hearing that a lot of kids are happy at Wake and happy with Clawson but obviously there are 85 different personalities and different situations.
One thing that does seem likely is that Wake will not be taking any post-grads in 2016.

EA was down 30-13 to a good Western Alamance team in the 3rd quarter. Lamot lead Eastern to an unbelievable comeback win: 48-37. 5 tds in 12 minutes. He finished with 184 yds rushing and 4 tds.
He's a player.

I noticed Carney had a couple of highlights on Football Friday Night on WBTV. The kid looks like a cinder block with legs carrying the ball (and I mean that as a compliment).
If anyone's interested, you can see those highlights here: http://www.wbtv.com/story/30229923/country-day-at-davidson-day

How many QB's will we take with this class? I was at the 5A #1 Spartanburg, SC Vikings vs #7 Dorman (SC) game Friday night and the Spartanburg QB Austin Scott had another big game. H is only 6' 195 lbs. but is putting up some big numbers and starting to get some bigger interest.

Have to believe that Wake is done at QB for 2016. Scott was a guy that was very much on Wake's radar early on. Focus is on 2017 QB recruiting now.
