BBall Recruiting Thread 2k17-Chaundee Brown commits to WAKE! Brandon Randolph to AZ

[buckets]

Derryck Thornton is transferring from Duke. I assume a transfer in conference is out of the question, but if not it's someone we should look into.

Do we need another PG?

Do we need another PG?

Crawford would be a junior before he's eligible. I wouldn't turn away a player with talent at any position right now especially one that rightfully should have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to Duke.

He won't end up here though.

Why is he leaving Duke? Playing time?

Why is he leaving Duke? Playing time?

According to Thornton's uncle, he's been pushed out to make room for a new recruit and the uncle is pissed. Lots of twitter ranting calling K a liar saying that they begged Derryck to reclassify and then pushed him out. Remember, if Derryck hadn't reclassified, Duke would not have had a true PG on the 15-16 roster.

Did Arians visit?

'A native of Chatsworth, Calif., Thornton said in the release he wants to play closer to home.'

Winston Salem is definitely closer to CA than Durham

Thanks for the update, but this is a Wake recruiting thread and that guy's not a Power 5 recruit by any stretch of imagination.

there was talk of people wanting him to come on as a walk on so thats why i posted it

Jalen Smith '18 has Villanova, Maryland, Miami, USC, Marquette offers & Kentucky, Arizona, & Wake Forest interest.

Darius Days is picking up interest from Wake. He already has an offer from Oklahoma.

Needs to step up his mixtape game, that was awful

I like the smudge on the lens and the random speed changes.

Silence from the Austin Arians visit seems bad

This is unheard of for DM.

"Why doesn't he call? Didn't he have a good time on our date last night"?

Do we know he even visited? Nothing on twitter at all

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

Yeah he did

 

[WakeForestRanger]

Garland listed offers from UCLA, Tennessee, Wake Forest, Indiana and Vanderbilt (previous staff) and feels like he had a big sophomore year leading his team to a State Championship.

I guess this means they're getting Bolden. Crap.

I know we are all thinking it... the silent verbal.

That may be true, but it seems like these post-grad recruits keep pretty quiet about their recruiting, unlike 17-18 yr olds that tweet about everything.

Article says Howard Washington was previously considering Wake Forest. ESPN lists him as a 4* PG. Wonder what happens with this.
