If you have a different practice video with more in-depth action, feel free to post, RJ.
We were allowed for a specific period of time, and I shared what I had available.

#25 is big, same size as Manning. That's either the grad transfer or Lorng (if he made it to campus) or some other surprise.
Sarr has definitely put on some weight.

#25 is Smart. Unless Lorng has shown up in the last couple of weeks without word from the school, he's still not there. We'll know for sure tomorrow, when there are more interviews.

Even Creamy got that joke....
I was just messing with you anyway, RJ.
Is the 'layup' line thing from something before my time? Someone had to explain all the jokes about socks to me a few days ago.

I for one will be very surprised if Lorng ever sets foot on the Wake campus again. When he was found academically unqualified, I suspect that ended any interest Wake had in him as a future student athlete. Because he is technically a "recruitable student athlete" I doubt Danny will be able to say much, if anything about him.

Nah. But if you have any buffet line video, that would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know if they call it that these days, but teams still do it. Being a shortish (6'1) guy, and dunking not being allowed pre-game, I used to like to take my layup and slap the backboard, by the rim, with both hands.

July recruiting period opens up tomorrow. Will be interesting to see who says Wake Forest and what our chances are for anyone in the top 100.

For those talking about practice videos in the recruiting thread, Les posted a new practice video today. Watching our practice vs what Duke Basketball posts on their youtube channel this summer, it has become painfully obvious to me our coaching staff is a complete waste of time.

Since some people want to throw neg reps for me pointing out the truth, looks like I will have to do another breakdown for those too lazy to check out what I am saying for themselves.
Above you will see the video posted by Les, about 1 minute and 30 seconds in you will see the team break off to do shooting drills. You will notice that each group starts out by taking long two-pointers from the free-throw line extended. This is statistically the worst shot in basketball (I will not go in to depth, if you don't know the analytics this is already over your head). The pace of this shooting drill starts out terrible, it reminds me of watching a JV high-school team do some bullshit warmups. At 2 minutes and 15 seconds in you will see Melo throw the ball into one of our other player's practice shot ... very productive. The pace picks up and at 2 minutes 38 seconds we have two players shooting at the same time, at the same basket. This rep is a success, but it happens the very next play and Melo and Chaundee's shots collide at the rim. Wasted practice rep there. Am I nit picking? Well my take away from this was practice look unorganized, inefficient, and worst off all was a shooting drill practicing the most useless shot in basketball.
Now lets compare what Duke does:
In this video, Duke is practicing their shooting as well this summer. It starts out by Jon Scheyer specifically stating each player puts up 250 shots, and they keep track of each player's makes and misses. Contradict that with the Wake Forest video, and already they are more organized then letting players pass the ball between themselves and chuck up warm up shots. They go through the details of how each player likes to shoot, and how they prepare for each shot. They find specific things for each player to work on individually instead of this group lesson that Manning's got going on. Each player shoots at a basket by themselves, no overlap between players on shots at the same basket. Furthermore, this drill can be practiced by the players on their own free time, working on 7 different spots and free-throws. Our guys are chucking up long-two pointers still. The Duke players are responsible for writing down how many out of 10 they hit at each spot, giving both the players and coaches the ability to track their individual progress. We joke about socks, but there is clearly a difference in attention to details between the two practices.
Next, lets talk about recruiting, the actual purpose of this thread. Zion committed to "the brotherhood" which we all know is marketing BS from Duke, but if you were a 17 year-old kid and had to choose a school based off Danny Manning's sad twitter account versus the below video that every Duke recruit will see from this summer, tell me who you think is doing a better job marketing?
