He lied.
I thought Manning had built a top 25 recruiting class. What happened???

Nope, got paid.
What a great role model and representative of Wake Forest University!
I mean, yeah. Getting paid without trying is the Wake Forest way.
??? Clawson???
Sucker for trying
our recruiting sucks for this year and there is no way to make it look otherwise
however this (average rating) is a really stupid way to rank recruiting classes
for instance the guy who posted those rankings is a VT fan. UVA has signed two players better than both of VT's recruits - but because UVA has signed a 3rd lower-ranked player, their average comes down below VT's. Good for VT - but UVA allegedly has two better players plus a third guy who may (probably will, given his coach) contribute.
I've said it before... I really don't think it is a lack of effort from Manning and the staff. It's just the fact that he's been exposed as a shitty head coach. That's a tough recruiting pitch.

"We have great facilities and we play in the best basketball conference in the country. We have a number of very successful pros. It's a great education. Oh, and by the way, you can count on playing on every Tuesday of the ACC Tournament because, hoo-boy, we're going to suck."
<awkward silence>
"I'm a bad coach."
Bullshit. He's never done the work it would take to go after the good, but not great recruits it would take to rebuild. He throws offers at people he knows he can't get, knowing he doesn't need to show up. And then he throws offers at kids who can't believe they have an ACC offer, knowing he doesn't need to show up. Where are all of the guys in the 80-130 range that he's consistently hounding and recruiting harder than anyone else?
I 100% disagree with this.
I mean, that may be the case now... I don’t pretend to follow along with his day to day movements on the recruiting trail.
But he and the staff absolutely got in front of kids the first few years he was here.
I think it’s far more likely that the lack of on-court success (and the revolving door of players) led to shitty recruiting than some sort of sudden laziness.
But, to quite Major League, “Who gives a shit, it’s gone.”
