Bball Recruiting Megathread: Devin Mitchell on campus

[sailordeac]

OK, so he can jump and dunk. Can he do anything else?

 

[BzzzIn]

Would rather see a mixed video of him hitting a crap-ton of 3 pointers. 2 guard won't be dunking that much in the ACC.

Teague was the last bouncy guard we had and he turned out alright.

Yeah, there are about 25 youtube videos saying he's wrong.

Josh Newkirk to Pitt. One-time Wake recruit.

Miles Overton ‏@MilesOverton
Official visit to Wake Forest this weekend. Leave tomorrow!! Very exited!!


I'm thinking we pulls the trigger this weekend if he still has the offer.

 

[Deacsfan27]

I came here to post that same thing TITSWF...

If we pull the trigger on MO would we still take Reed? Or is it an either/or in your opinion?

 

[jamesda3]

I think the same, but I would prefer Reed.

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

Def don't see us taking more than 1. Only way we take 2 more players in this class is if they find a worthwhile big or if someone leaves the team.

 

[DeaconCav06]

Based on history, I would be surprised if we don't have one or two players leave.

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

But by that time it will be too late for 2013 guys. Unless someone leaves before the season starts, which I doubt.

Everything I continue to hear points away from UNC, so this is interesting. Hopefully he's just enjoying the life of a high profile recruit.

 

[WT901]

It'd be cray if we got Davon AND Miles. Then go for a C next season.

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

I know that RJ is going to lose both his literal and figurative shit when he sees that somebody on a Wake Forest message board typed the sentence that I'm about to type, but:

Miles Overton really does nothing for me as a recruit, and I'll consider it a disappointment if he ends being the SG that we bring onto campus for 2013.

 

[RJKarl]

You're a Red Sox fan.....what can we expect?

 

[timdunkandthefunk]

Who does Miles Overton have offers from? How many stars?

I'm just going to assume he is from Philly....

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

From Philly, plays in the same league as Chennault did. His dad played in the NBA. Offers from Temple, St Joe's, La Salle and interest from VT, Xavier and Nova. Three stars.

 

[jaybone]

His pop was sharp-shooting 12th man Doug Overton

 

[RJKarl]

Here's what his dad did at LaSalle before a long NBA career:

Evan Daniels just tweeted that 2014 PF Shane Hall had Tennessee and Dayton in to see him yesterday, and that he has him as a top 75 talent. Apparently he thinks his athleticism more than makes up for the fact he's somewhat undersized. So maybe the scout I had talked to before mis-evaluated him at his first viewing
