ACC Basketball: Ranking the 2017 Recruiting Classes
By Alec Lasley
No. 8 Wake Forest (4 Commits)
Danny Manning’s squad took a huge hit when they lost John Collins to the NBA Draft, but brings in a talented recruiting class to add to an already talented team.
Collins was the highlight of the Demon Deacons season where they went 9-9 in conference play.
But like a few other teams previously mentioned, the upcoming season will be another tough one for them.
2017 Commits:
- Chaundee Brown (Orlando, FL): 6-5, 195, SG, Rank – 31
- Olivier Sara (Paris, France): 6-11, 225 lbs, C, Rank – NR
- Melo Eggleston (Fitchburg, MA): 6-9, 180 lbs, SF, Rank – NR
- Sunday Okeke (New Canaan, CT): 6-8, 230 lbs, PF, Rank – NR
Chaundee Brown is a very talented wing player who had offers from Florida and Kansas, among others as he was ranked the number seven shooting guard in the country.
With a young core that stayed intact through the offseason, look for Wake Forest to make a jump up in the conference rankings this year.
