Expecting some good news at lunchtime today.
Five years ago, I said I didn't believe there were over 100 or even 50 players better than JC. The skill set that Massoud has shown on his videos make me think the same thing about him.
I saw a few Wake prospects at Pangos this weekend:
...
(I didn't have a chance to see Ayo Dosunmu, Cole Anthony, Elias King, Ismael Massoud, and Will Richardson.)
Wake watched Isaiah Mucius, Cole Anthony and Ismael Massoud at the PSA Combine today. Thought it was interesting this tweet listed Mucius as a stretch four.
WF's main interest was Massoud during the visit.

I think it was bigboy, but he never specified who our top targets are. Could just be Harris and Moore. McGowens looks like either State or Clemson. Nickelberry, Omar Payne, Christian Brown maybe. There are still plenty of other guys were targeting so we’ll see.
Justin Moore, Tyrese Samuel, Tre Mitchell, Deuce Dean, Ajak, Massoud. Plenty of other prospects to bring in a good class.
I'm personally keeping an eye on Tre Mitchell, Ismael Massoud, Justin Moore, Deuce Dean, and Omar Payne (Omar Payne probably ends up elsewhere). Nickleberry is a possibility but I am expecting he ends up at NC State. Would be very shocked to see Wendell Moore come to Wake, but would not be shocked to see us make his final 4-5 and get an official.
There are a number of names we were in the conversation for at some point, but I haven't heard much about most of them in awhile. Anyone know where we stand with guys like Omar Payne (#49), Tyrese Samuel (#84), and Ismael Massoud (#86)?
Rivals updated their 2019 rankings today. Of note pertaining to Wake Forest:
...
Ismael Massoud is up 1 spot to #89 overall.
Wake makes the Final 5 for Ismael Massoud and gets an OV scheduled. Think local Rutgers is the team to beat here
Massoud is going to Rutgers, and he is not as new of a name as some people around here might think.
Slater just gave Wake a crystal ball for Ismael Massoud.
This would be great. Agree with the sentiments on the music choice in the video, love the outdoor clips too but I'm especially psyched that he looks to have a great shot but will look to drive to the hoop, dish or shoot in the videos. That's fantastic for a SF.
