2017 Football Recruiting

If Wake is looking for a QB prospect for this class, they should make a run at Nick Tronti, Mr Football in Florida, UNCC commit with offers from Hawaii and Indiana.

Who was the POS who went off on them?

Not going to name names on a public message board, but go to Alex Bachman's twitter and you can find who it was. Just really embarrassing. I was actually really impressed with the way Bachman handled the situation to be honest. Seems like a high character guy. It's sad that a 19-20 year old has more maturity than a grown man.

Good bye Powell. Hartman and Bowers, now have a better chance and more reps in practice. I hope the staff gets the players they want and who want to be here. And for "Daddy and I pay your scholarship" guy. I hope Daddy is bitch slapp'n you now. GO DEACS!

Jeez. That guy is a clown. He makes lunatic fringe look sane.
 
Just did a couple mins of research myself and was definitely good ole Mocks. Free scout message board confirmed it for me.

Is he seriously as unhinged as it seems he is or is he just a massive troll?

No, he really believes everything he says. He's been that way for as long as I have been on Wake message boards and if I recall correctly has been banned/suspended on multiple occasions.
 
Wow. Gotta think he is being monitored by at least one government agency at this point based purely on his social media activity. Not to mention what ISN'T public.

My hope is that if we whiff on our current top targets, we don't dish out offers to under-the-radar project recruits. Would be better imo to safe for next year.

On a separate note, I think Powell is a huge loss. Think he would have been a stud for us in a few years.

And the next year when we can't get all our top targets, do we continue to hold scholarships? And the year after that? If you take that approach then you're actually just imposing a smaller roster "sanction" on yourself. I know it sucks to lose top guys but it's not like this issue will just go away. Wake will always be a P5 lesser program and will have to go downward to find last minute replacements. (Unless of course we elevate our stature in college football, something the AD and Admin have seemed to shy away from at every turn.)

He's also a wack job uber Republican who thinks Trump is awesome and Michelle Obama ruined school lunches. I'm serious here. Ironically, he loves big black asses as well.

Yeah I saw that too. Just an absolute disgrace. Not only did he attack Powell, but went on to attack Bachman and Bassey - current players. Said "my dad and I pay for your scholarships so show some respect." That's a giant LOL, he deserves none for the display or immaturity he showed. Hopefully if he is a Deacon Club member he won't be for much longer. Any of you that are, I would encourage you to report the incident to the Deacon Club and see if something can be done about this.

Sounds like something MocksvilleDeac would say. . .

ETA: Saw on this page that my assumption was confirmed. Dude is a massive tool.

Yeah he has a picture of dead bodies on his twitter timeline from today. Seems well adjusted.

I will say that anyone who advertises their political party, whether republican or democrat, in their Twitter bio in all caps like REPUBLICAN or DEMOCRAT probably isn't a very pleasant person to interact with.

Don't like the Powell situation one bit and think it was a low class move on his part but someone actually got on him on twitter is pretty pathetic. That person obviously has issues busting on a 17 year old kid in public and not a good representative of Wake Forest IMO. Hopefully we can find another QB at this late date but I seriously doubt it and don't think the other QB in this class is a stud based on his senior record in the 9 games he played before his torn ACL.

Why did we offer another QB in that class? With Newman ahead of them?
 
Don't see Clawson offering another QB unless he gets word that a QB who Clawson has already recruited, offered and headed elsewhere is re-opening his commitment. WF is not just going to throw a ship to a QB recruit that committed to Elon just because Powell flipped.
