That's a shame. Was one of our last legit current targets for RB and yet another loss to duke. Not very surprising, however, as he had 8 crystal balls to Duke.
We'll know in a couple years; but I too think that this class is disappointing. Wonder if coaching changes have something to do with it?
Hopefully, 1 bowl win has not produced complacency:
It's "all about development" when you have great trouble landing highly regarded recruits. Until WF stops being perceived as the 4th best ACC option in NC for football, our fortunes really won't change in the long run. Hard truths.
In the 2000s Duke went 0-10 against Wake yet had a higher ranked recruiting class every year except one. Also, during the same decade, Wake had 19 players taken in the NFL draft and Duke had 2.
It depends on what your goals as a program are. Are we going to advance up the food chain, or just try to be reasonably competitive and a tough out? If the former, we *must* secure higher ranked recruits eventually.

Trust Clawson. Best coach we have ever had. Sells our strengths and rejects the rest. He believes in his process and so should you. We may step back this year. Brutal schedule. Hang in there. Smartest fucker in the room....Clawson.
May sound unrealistic and corny in this day of Power 5 football, but Clawson has almost persuaded me that he really is looking for true STUDENT-Athletes. He seems intent on locating good athletes (the raw talents that can be developed) who are serious about education.
If so, that narrows the field quite a bit.
