Tyler Cavanaugh Commits to Wake

True that you are free to express your opinions here. We all are.

But maybe a thread welcoming a kid that committed to Wake isn't the best place for such negative things? Kid just committed to us for better or for worse. Best we could do is not to shit all over him before he plays a single minute on the court for us.

And I don't think it is any secret how much I loathe [Redacted], but to throw that onto Tyler Cavanaugh on a thread celebrating his commitment to Wake Forest is quite lame, IMO.

That said, you are more than free to continue to express your opinion on this thread or any other as far as I'm concerned. Cheers.
 
Welcome to Wake Tyler!!!

He'll help keep Travis at his natural position.

Well said DV7.
 
Welcome to Wake, Tyler. May you jump high, shoot straight and study hard.
 
And to Tyler's parents. Fine choice. Your son will truly enjoy the Wake Forest experience. It is a great school. He'll get to play against the best of the best.
 
So we get a player who also had offers from SU and ND after a big summer and still no one is happy. Should be a great year.

Not exactly a lot of positive feelings surrounding the basketball program right now. Shouldn't bleed over to threads like this though.
 
Here's a piece from a Syracus site:

"DC is no longer the only Jamesville-Dewitt kid Syracuse is interested in. Add Tyler Cavanaugh, who’s 6′ 8″ and still growing, at wing to SU’s targets. The Orange offered him a scholarship soon after Wake Forest became the first major school did so. Cavanaugh is intriguing, because despite playing in SU’s backyard it took until a few weeks ago to get a scholarship offer.

The recruitment of Cavanaugh has really stepped up lately. Just a few months ago he had no offers from high majors, but after a big summer he now has a visit scheduled to Notre Dame. The Irish has become a familiar face on the recruiting trail. The battles over Ishaq and Boom are famous on the football field, but the ‘Cuse is also competing for talented wing player Jerami Grant with ND.

Cavanaugh has talked about how much he likes to play with Coleman and perhaps their relationship could be helpful in the recruitment of the highly sought-after big man. Don’t overlook Cavanaugh though. Syracuse has an excellent history with J-D kids in recent years and he has the potential to silence some doubters.

Remember the last time an under-the-radar J-D product ended up at Syracuse, he developed into an NBA-ready sharpshooter. Cavanaugh might not be Andy Rautins, but appears to be a good fit because of his ability to stretch the D, something Syracuse clearly lacked last year. Brandon Triche has also been discussed as a connection to bringing DC 2.0 to SU.

Despite many top recruits already committing across the nation, don’t expect this pair to decide anytime soon. Both have campus visits to schools scheduled over the next month. Clearly Coleman is still the prize, but nabbing his teammate would also be huge for the Orange."

Some people will never be happy. I don't know why they want to take it out on the players that commit to us though...it makes no sense to me at all.

I was not "taking it out on him." I was responding to the pros and cons of the scouting report. And based on said scouting report I questioned the sign. And I have no ill will toward Tyler who I hope is the second coming of Dicky Hemric. So, let's just say welcome Tyler.
 
So are we after the Coleman kid?

Hm... DC, Syracuse,... that's not Derrick Coleman's kid, is it?

DeJuan Coleman, 6'8, 280, C....mostly in Top 10...had been as high as Top 5.
 
We're going to have a very weird roster next year. 4 point guards and 5 forwards. Only 1 shooting guard.

Tough to see us getting Moto now (let alone White).
 
White is a SG or wants to be.

Is Devin in or not is the key.
 
We're going to be out of schollies by the time White is ready to pull the trigger imo.

My sense is that Buzz wants the 2012 class done in November.
 
Here are three questions:

1. Is Devin Thomas a Deac?

2. Can Aaron play SG?

3. Can moto be taught to be a SG?
