BBall Recruiting Thread 2k16- SJM, Washington, Childress & Mitchell sign NLIs; 2017?

[ChaosDeac]

Hard to get a sense of if we're on the list or not, haven't seen much info from him. All I've seen is the Louisville offer a week or two ago.

I think WF will most likely make the list and get a visit sometime in September (he wants to take some visits during a holiday period that month). I'd guess that Louisville, Washington State, Boise State, and UNLV make the top five as well. He doesn't have a huge amount of offers so even if he is strongly considering some other schools, there's like 8 schools total that have offered. I think Manning's big man reputation as well as Dinos success with Danny's style of play will really help WF in Froling's recruitment.

@DemanDeac: 4* Guard Koby McEwen will take an official visit to Wake Forest on August 28th

@prephoopsfl: Wake Forest has shown interest in Andrew Gordon. @TeamSpeights5

@DeacHoopsReport: 2016 PF, reclassified from '15 to '16 & recently switched from football to basketball. http://t.co/JVmnFF9Ksh https://t.co/hCZ8qnmWxm

wonder if there be a schollie for Koby by then

 

[DeacFan03]

Visit moved up from mid-September. I wonder if that is to put pressure on Wright who visits the week before. I'd be very happy with either as both are talented slashing guards that complement Washington and Childress

do we take both of them?

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

Well, this is going to be interesting.

 

[Ayo]

do we take both of them?

If we're smart (and both want to come here), we do.

good news.

 

[bigboy8]

I agree you somehow find a way to take both.

 

[cajunking]

can't remember if this has been discussed - is there any way Brandon does not take a scholarship as the son of a coach. Saw that Alford was doing that with his kid at UCLA. I am sure it would require Randolph to pay tuition - but I believe there is a discounted price for employees of the University.

 

[deaclite]

I thought we should move him up. Would love either guy or both if we can make it work.

We do have enough scholarships for the two of them assuming the end of August timeline, correct? The real debate would then come down to Giles vs. Rondale, right? That would be the ultimate Bzzfuck.

employee's children essentially go for free. All the employee has to pay is taxes.

This is excellent news. Good source here in Bradenton tells me that while Wake is "up there" with Eli Wright, we are not actually at the very top of his list.

 

[daaberry]

Was there ever an article released that had Eli stating Wake was his leader? I know 247 came out & stated that, but I have yet to see any quotes or statement from Eli himself regarding WF being his favorite.

As a recruited athlete, doesn't he count against the scholarship limit no matter what?

I posted a couple of lengthy posts about this when we first started recruiting lil Chill. I'm on my phone, but somebody search function that shit.

No there wasn't. No one really knows where that came from or what the source was. I would say we have a very good shot at him however

Alford is willing to take his son Bryce off scholarship for his senior season in order to try and bring in 5* TJ Leaf who just decommitted from UA. It seems perfectly legal. Scout has an article on it as well

http://www.scout.com/college/basket...71604-alert-ucla-has-scholarship-for-t-j-leaf

I would think this would be a last resort, but if no one is going to transfer and we are full at the end of the season, it'd be very tempting to land another top 100 guy
