Are we going to need a sep T-Strick thread?
Yes, please.

We need to get rid of Buzz so out new coach can start recruiting 2015 F Luke Maye. Seriously. The kid was the best player for Hough High this year...as a 6'6" freshman.
BTW - this is Mark Maye's son. Very good kid. All conference (4A) as a freshman.

Saw him at the CC a couple weeks ago. Thought he was a rising senior who just go invited out of pity when I first saw him. Then he stepped out and started making some plays. Was really surprised to see he was a freshman when I looked it up. Plays like a Wisconsin player.
He played travel ball off and on with my son until about a year ago. He's a beast. Hard to believe he's 14 (or just turned 15).
ESPNU has updated theit 2012 rankings and Cmm is 79th and that is it for us. Our class seems overhyped if Telep et al is right about their talent level.
CMM - #14 PG
Moto - #30 SF
Tree - #45 SF
Devin - #36 PF
Cav - #38 PF
Washington - #45 C
The pressure Bz has on these guys is just unrealistic.

I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but this is an average recruiting class for Wake Forest. It has lots of players in it though.
The class Bz inherited had more top level talent and was stronger overrall.
I mean, this is clearly true as far as recruiting rankings go, but I'm doubtful about this. The 2010 class turned out to be unique in its abject failure to live up to rankings. No one could have predicted the JTT flameout, Melvin Tabb's idiocy, Chennault's horrible PG skills, or Carson's... pussiness. All of these players had "talent" to some extent, but they also had critical flaws that made that talent worthless to us. Carson, for instance, was a 7'0" big with a nice touch and flair for passing. I can see why he was rated highly in high school. Nevertheless, his inability to deal with contact made him pretty frustrating to watch.
Nobody was talking about how the 2010 class was overrated at this time two years ago either.
It's a remarkably weak class. See for yourself:

I'm nor sure that nobody is saying that our class of 2010 was overrated. They were properly rated in a fairly weak year.
