Welcome to a one-stop shop for all of your Wake Forest basketball recruiting news.

There is going to be a ton of information in this thread, and I still have not decided on the best way to present it all. I'm definitely open to suggestions.

I'm also hoping that this becomes a somewhat collaborative effort. Although this thread may suggest otherwise, I do occasionally have demands on my time that keep me from constantly refreshing recruiting news. Consequently, anytime you see something on the internet about a recruit that Wake Forest is involved with, please let me know (in this thread or via PM), so I can update it.

Here's the breakdown:

Post #2: Scholarship Table
Fairly self-explanatory here. This table should make it very clear how many scholarships we have available for each of the upcoming years. It also offers a positional breakdown.

Post #3: Recruits in Table Form
This table has all of the kids we've offered and targeted, sorted by their Rivals ranking. It also includes their height, weight, position, high school, and ESPN and Scout rankings. Treat this post as a sort of index for the following two posts. The order that the players are presented in this table is the same order they are presented in the following section.

Post #4: Information on Offered Players
This post contains further information about the players we've offered. It provides links to the players' espn, scout, and rivals pages, in addition to articles and video when applicable.

Post #5: Information on Targeted Players
Same as post #4, except for players that Wake Forest has yet to offer.

*This thread was originally intended to focus on 2013 recruiting, but since it looks like we do have a good bit more planned for 2012, and we don't really have a thread for it yet, I think this thread would be as good as any for that information. So I'll be posting information on White/Moto/Abrahamson/Thomas/etc in this thread as well.

Color Code:
Green = Player is very interested in Wake Forest
Orange = Player has some interest in Wake Forest
Red = Player has little to no interest in Wake Forest
Black = Player's interest in Wake Forest has not been evaluated yet

Note: All of this color coding is based on my analysis of the situation which, in turn, is based on the articles linked under each player. Thus the color coding is not even the slightest bit official, and is constantly subject to change.

what about white?

I'll do a post about 2012 guys sometime this week probably. Didn't think it'd be worth such an exhaustive rundown since we're down to a handful of guys.

I added some thoughts to the scholarship post.
 
Great stuff, man.
 
Great thread stonz! Its nice to have one place with all the information rather than having to hunt and peck through a dozen threads.
 
Love it. Thanks!

Minor nitpicky correction: the recruiting chart post shows the scholarship chart

Please accept my thanks also. This is awesome info.:)
 
Recruits in table form is just coming out as the scholarships in table form on my computer. We desperately need to sign a center in 2013 as in 2014 we will only have Washington...unless Green is considered a center.
 
This is great! Many thanks for the info!
