Harry Froling (2016, PF) committed to SMU yesterday. It's pretty clear that we backed off awhile ago, but damn. The kid is going to be a player.
As evidence by his mixtape?

Is Froling the Australian kid?

Johnathan McGriff, a class of 2019 PG from Bishop McNamara (MD), will go on an unofficial visit to Wake Forest tomorrow, per a source.
Lawless is a pretty good source of info on east coast basketball, especially the ACC territories.Outside of the fact that the "analyst" looks like he is the same age as McGriff, it's worth noting that this kid is getting a ton of hype for a high school freshman.
I came across this announcement on Twitter:

Here are some highlights from the 2015 CP3 Rising Stars camp:

No thanks. I know he is young but he passed up wide open layups just to make ridiculous (not good ridiculous) passes to teammates. Doing a pull up at 3/4 court just to juke the guarding point guard. Taking 30 stutter steps as fast as he can to fake someone out is just going to tire him out. Its like he was coached by Curly Neal and Meadowlark Lemon.
Curious what others think is Manning's plan with regard to Roster.
I think most would agree that SG and SF have been disasters this year. Washington/Hudson/DMitchell have at least the tools to succeed and we are not likely to bring in another of exact skill set at SF. For the sake of argument, lets assume Woods is at least decent. We simply can't have MW and RW as our other 2G options for the next 2 years--that is not a plan for success. I think MW is a decent bench guy here and there but you aren't winning many ACC games with him playing major minutes. RW is decent defender but can't create, can't shoot the 3, and is subpar FT shooter---again not what you want. I think Manning needs to add another SG in 2016---late bloomer, grad transfer, foreign, grown in lab. Probably need another PF also---DMitchell may be listed as a PF but he looks supper skinny and looks like he likes to play more like a guard.
