Greene decommitted from Duke tonight.
Greene decommitted from Duke tonight.
Quite happy he is not going to duke, though I believe we don’t have a shot at him.
With our QB pipeline, Wake would be a great place for him.
Plus, very easy for friends and family to watch him play.
Penn State offered Kendrell Flowers.
Have you heard anything to believe this? Or just speculation
No insider information, just my hunch. I really hope I’m wrong and would love to have him though. I just think he received multiple new offers in the last 1-2 months that made him rethink some things. He’s had an offer from WF for a while (prior to his commitment to duke), so I just don’t think we are in play.

Not saying you aren't right, but that is not the information that i've gotten/heard. An early Duke commit (OL Monk I think) and his family worked all of the kids that visited really hard and also worked their parents really hard. It worked and they got a lot of early commits that most of the recruiting people thought were actually leaning else where (knight and Greene especially). That feeling and pressure will go away eventually and the kid and family will get back to doing what they want to do compared to what the pressure of others around them want. Same thing happens with the disgusting "Fedora Freak Show" that UNC does when they get the recruits all in a circle at the end and get them all worked up and ask who's next and put them on the spot in front of everyone. It's a gross tactic (that is effective) that the smarter ones figure out eventually. I still think Greene stays in state, Wake, UNC or State. WF was the buzz early on so i'd be shocked if they aren't in it til the end.

Thanks for the info! I really hope you’re right! That UNC tactic really is sickening.
The only thing I'll say is that I admire the dook and hole coaches for trying to use strategies that can improve their recruiting success in some degree. Some might become disaffected with it, but if those methods weren't used the recruit wouldn't have committed in the first place. I often feel wake is some patsy school that would never consider methods like this. But this is all a game within a game and the bombastic cutcliffe knows the "score" and will do almost anything to beat out wake for recruits. He believes, check that, "knows" that dook is a superior school and program and I'm sure he trashes wake to the nth degree to recruits considering us. Have to fight fire with fire.
Wake Football>Duke Football right now, and its obvious after the last 2 seasons. Should be easy to out recruit them.
It's not that obvious. We looked like crap against them two games ago.
I'm not familiar with Duke's facilities upgrades. Last time I visited Wally Wade it looked like a rundown D2 stadium. Have they really improved as much as we have?
