My source is telling me Donovan Greene was at Wake this past weekend with Groulx and a majority of the 19 commits.

Must be that cookout Clark said he was going to attend.
 
Just saw on WFU Sports twitter that we've got a couple of new kickers for the 2018 season: Darren Ford and Eric Osteen. Ford apparently a FG kicker, and Osteen a kickoff specialist.

Interesting. Here is the WF website article on the additions: http://www.wakeforestsports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/061918aaa.html

Osteen went to Army; played two years in football as KO specialist (played against WF); served his 5 years in the Army, and is now eligible to play.

Ford was a successful D-3 kicker at Hope College in Michigan; he went 25 of 38 on his FG attempts. Other schools have done this with kickers; two years ago MD's kicker, kicked for three years at G'town.
 
Nice work by the staff.
 
I look forward to Osteen making tackles after his kickoffs.
 
How many times has a kid decommitted from a school and decide to recommit?

I'm calculating our chances of Brendon Clark jumping back on the wagon.

Probably not too many, but I think there's a real chance with Clark.

How is he possibly eligible to play? What happened to the five-year clock? Is this a special military exception?

Give me some credit on Greene. I saw him play football and basketball a few times as a sophomore and knew he had the athletic ability to play ACC football. I didn’t foresee him being the #8 recruit in NC but he got a lot off attention when MA went 14-0 and played in the state championship game in Raleigh. James Brim 2.0.

NCAA eligibility to play clock goes on hold while a person is serving in the military. Osteen should have two years of eligibility.
 
At this point in time i'd be shocked if Greene doesn't end up at WF. Lot of stuff pointing that way. UNC/Wake battle and I'd put Wake as the favorite currently.
 
He may only have one year to play. Can't find good info on how four years at USMA impacts his situation. He may lose a year because he was in college four years before the freeze hit when he accepted his commission in the US Army.

He may have used four of his five years before graduating from West Point and thus only have one year, like any grad transfer.
