Solid pickup for the Deacs.... would probably be a low three-star if it wasn't for the injury last year (torn ACL by the way). He doesn't have great size, but has very good speed and excellent vision. The production during his junior season was truncated because of the injury, so that's one...

I think right now that's a tough thing to judge since there's a year between them. But I will say this... Kevin Sousa is a kid who will require a lot of coaching, but his upside is unbelievable. He only completed a bit more than 50% of his passes as a senior in high school, but he's been playing...

I think he's more bolstered areas like NC and Florida more than he's opened up new areas. He's from North Carolina and has great connections in south Florida. I anticipate him getting some big-time athletes from those areas.

Not so much geographically. Wider in terms of sheer number of offers. In past years I've found that Wake targeted a smaller number of prospects; sure they'd offer some guys they stood no shot at landing, but it tended to just be a symbolic offer almost. I'd call what they're doing now "stretch...

A few new offers: Weston (FL) Cypress Bay linebacker Josh Witt and offensive lineman Daniel Isadora. Both guys are talented with good offer sheets... keep an eye on Witt, Deacs might have a chance with him. Port St. Lucie (FL) Treasure Coast athlete Travares Copeland. Freak athlete, but I...

I personally think Naz is a great guy and great ambassador for Wake Forest.

Interestingly, there hasn't been as much activity this spring with football recruiting as in years past. I don't have an explanation for it, just haven't seen as many big-name visitors or guys close to deciding so far. A few developments recently: big New Jersey OL Jim Cashman has an offer and...

It simply means that coaches are not allowed to be Rivals subscribers. This won't change anything at Deacons Illustrated, but I can't speak for Deacon Sports.

Wake's level of recruiting has risen steadily since 2006, but there was no spike that some expected. The staff realizes that there are many unique things about Wake that require taking a different kind of prospect; but they've done a good job of identifying more talented kids who fit that mold...

Just wanted to drop by and give a quick update. Anthony Rook from Rose HS received an offer from NC State yesterday, but told me that Wake is still his leader. He's a good-looking TE prospect. Ingle, just to be clear from Ms. Rowan's tweet, does not have an offer. Nothing against him, but he's...

I've talked to Camren and his father... I'll say that it's like almost every potential "package deal", it could happen, but each kid is going to do what's right for them.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm, but since I'm new to this board and don't know you guys well yet, I'll give you a real answer. This is from my War Room I did a few weeks ago, but I've updated it with some new guys that I've tracked down in recent days. More in-depth stuff is available at the site...

I will add that I need to check on Bilal Marshall... don't know if Elrod has actually pulled the trigger on him, the "offer" was reported by him and sometimes that are miscommunications.

These are certainly not all of the offers that have gone out so far, but will give you a good idea of the kind of players that Wake is targeting for the 2012 class. I'll start first with offense and then cover defense. Offense Brock Stadnik: The bigger of the Stadnik twins, Brock is a monster...
