And we only have the #43 class in the country by Rivals.
Elontae Bateman commits to wake forest!
I would take the duo of Reid and King in a heartbeat
I feel like we've come down to Earth after the high of last year's end of the recruiting season. This one feels like one of Grobe's. Hate to say it, but just the kind of vibes I'm getting from de-commitments, guys possibly not qualifying, and late offers to players with scant offer sheets.
I know we're done with QBs, but I wonder what Michigan commit Alex Malzone does. Wake was on him pretty hard before he went with Michigan, and Harbaugh just flipped Texas commit Zach Gentry.
Boo Robinson was a 1 star rivals with Arky State offers. Let's get this young man lifting and eating. See what happens.
I think we hold on to Autry. He was talking about going juco but has been recruiting to Wake on Twitter recently

In 2011 we had 3 highly regarded OTs. Intermann is a three year starter. Goodwin and Preble were practice players. Development is more important than a resume'.WF's best OL over the last 10 or so years was Tyson Clabo. He was a 1 star from TN with no BCS offers. WF has signed some very highly rated DL with a ton of BCS offers (e.g., John Gallagher, Frank Souza, Ramon Booi) that either hardly played or moved to the OL. Recruiting rankings become less accurate for lineman than any other position grouping because its so hard to judge who will get bigger and stronger, who will burn out, and with no AAU for football, really hard to judge high school tape and predict which lineman can play productively on the college level based on their success pushing around the typical 5-10 210 pound HS lineman. With QBs, RBs, WRs and DBs, you have elite summer QB camps and 7 on 7 camps that make it a little easier to judge those positions. Predicting OL and DL success is really crapshoot (even at Bama and FSU).

When we start having a conversation about how recruiting stars don't matter and Wake's rise to the ACC is going to be fueled on banking on our staff having a superior ability to identify diamonds in the rough then I KNOW we are definitely back in familiar Grobesque recruiting territory.
