Welcome to the new Wake basketball recruiting megathread. Ideally, everything you need to know about Wake's basketball recruiting will be found in this thread.
To start us off, here's a table which shows where our 2013 recruiting is, as summer AAU ball starts to heat up. Hopefully this table is fairly easy to read. Basic definitions:
Misses: Players that we offered that have committed elsewhere. (we = Wake Forest)
Offers: Players that we have offered that have not committed elsewhere.
Targets: Players that we have not offered, but have been linked to at some point.
The list is a compilation of the players we're listed with on Rivals, Scout, BSD, and assorted other places (twitter, 247, etc). If I've missed a player, please let me know. I tried my best to make this an exhaustive list, but I'm sure I'm missing a few guys here or there.
Color Coding:
Red: We are out of it. The prospect has committed elsewhere, or is no longer listing us.
Yellow(/Orange): We might be in it. For offered kids, yellow generally means we don't have much shot, but we haven't been eliminated yet either. For un-offered kids, yellow essentially means that both sides are interested, and I think we'd be 'in it' if we offer.
Green: We are very much involved. There is serious interest on both sides. Examples being: we've offered, the player is consistently listing us in his top tier, the player has visited or has an upcoming visit planned. If you just want to a couple players to keep an eye on, look for the guys in green.
Blue: We are probably not involved. Two sides to this one: some un-offered kids are blue because I do not think we are legitimately interested. Some un-offered kids are blue because I don't think we'd have a chance even if we offered (in this case, I don't want to use red since I don't actually know what would happen if we offered).
Sorting:
Offered kids are sorted by their rank: Rivals-->Scout-->ESPN (don't read anything into that order). Un-offered kids are sorted the same way. Prospects not ranked by any of the three sites are sorted by my color coding, and then alphabetically.
Note: If you disagree with any of my color choices, please let me know. There is no 'inside info' in this post; all information is based on what I've found online. I'm simply a compiler. If you read an article somewhere that says Player X is visiting, and I have him in red, please let me know. If your neighbor's cousin's little sister is dating Player Y, and he doesn't like Wake even though I have him in green, please let me know.
That's probably enough of an intro. I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have. Here's the table. Enjoy!
