A contact period started yesterday and runs through December 13. We know (from Twitter) that some of the coaches were already on the road yesterday. Coach Scheier was in Columbus, OH for an in-home visit with TE Brandon Chapman. Another coach was in the Savannah, GA area for an in-home visit with Jacquez Williams.
Frustrating as it is, the NCAA did not approve the early signing day that had been planned for mid-December. As a result, Wake will be mostly playing defense until February.
I will be looking for any new 2016 names to come on the radar, but I'm not expecting many. As I've posted previously, I think the staff's shopping list might be down to two spots (which I suspect are 1 TE and 1 WR). Before considering the potential for grayshirts and/or additional attrition, we are by my count already over the 85 scholarship limit (even after the redshirt juniors that are graduating early are removed from the list).
My bigger focus will be looking for info that any of our current commits that may be looking around, especially after some of the new coaching staffs get in place. Wake would appear to be less vulnerable with the recruits that have reportedly signed financial aid agreements and are expected to enroll in January. That list includes Cade Carney (per Twitter), Brandon Chapman (per Twitter), Jamie Newman (per Bill George) and Dom Maggio (per Bill George). Many of the contact restrictions no longer apply to these players.
