I'm not sure those reasons really favor Wake. We have an assistant who just left after killing someone and a head coach who's less likely to be at Wake than Buzz is to be at VT.
man, you suck
Manning and Co seemed to be really good at making the final 5 or 7 of recruits, but we just can't close the deal. There is no prize for being second in recruiting.

Nice form on the shot, high release, here is some video that isnt in 240p

That video was posted over a year ago (fuzzy on exact timeframe) and lauded as a great use of unique music (and an impressive mix for a Soph).
I’m all in. He seems like a quirky dude and I dig it.

That sounds pretty similar to how they perform in games too.
That’s reflective of a staff that has a knack for recruiting, but the recruits don’t quite trust the results on the floor yet. We landed a great class in 18 because we finally saw some results on the floor in 17. That’s why last years step back was so damaging. We didn’t have to make the tournament, we just needed to win 17-20 games with Collins and Dinos leaving. Instead we fell on our faces and now the staff is having to reset the recruiting cycle back a year or two and fight for legitimacy.

Wake announcement of Wnnn joining the team from 8/16. No mention of Lorng. Lists Blake Buchanan as a new team member also (non-scholarship from Durham).

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Wake Forest men’s basketball team completed its 2018 recruiting class with the addition of guard Michael Wynn. A native of Albany, N.Y., the 6-6 Wynn played the last two seasons at Liberty Heights in Charlotte, N.C.
While at Liberty Heights, Wynn helped the school to the semifinals of the Grind Session World Championships. He averaged 22.5 points per game as a senior and was named to the 2017 All-Grind Session Team.
Prior to transferring to Liberty Heights, Wynn earned All-State honors in New York while at Christian Brothers Academy in Albany.
Wynn joins a freshman class that also includes Blake Buchanan, Jaylen Hoard, Isaiah Mucius, Jamie Lewis and Sharone Wright, Jr.

I think these posts will end up perfectly describing the Manning era at Wake. Close, but not quite. Missing out on Giles (and the prospects who might have joined him), blowing several late leads in 16-17 that likely put us in the 7 seed range if we hold on, losing everyone from the 14 and 15 classes before the 17 and 18 classes showed up ready to compete, etc.
If a couple of those break differently I think most people have a vastly different view of Manning, which isn’t something you could say about his predecessor. Unfortunately for Manning (and for us), all of those things were at least somewhat in his control and close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. If most of those things don’t break his way this season (both on the court and the recruiting trail) then he would be gone (if we had a competent AD).
That’s reflective of a staff that has a knack for recruiting, but the recruits don’t quite trust the results on the floor yet.
Wake can't mention Lorng until he either officially enrolls in school or signs an official NCAA LOI. With the rumors that he didn't have the academic credentials to get past Wake admissions, I don't expect to see him in Old Gold and Black. Even his post grad year at Hargrave couldn't do enough to fill in gaps from his time at the tiny HS in KY.
