Going to get an early start on this one and try to do a better job of tracking guys before they're commits or on the verge.

Here's Landan Callahan, a 2024 DB, last Friday night against Grimsley HS. His team (Reagan, from Pfafftown) lost 40-34 and the game-winning touchdown came on a pass to the WR (Alex Taylor, P5 talent) he had been covering all game -- Callahan had to come off of the field for an injury, and Grimsley went right after his replacement. Video comes from Jacey Zembal, the publisher of the N.C. State site:

(I didn't realize until a couple of days ago that Wake's last three weekday games are all Tuesday 9 p.m. slots, which is awful ... and I'm not even on a print deadline anymore!)

Portal season is upon us!

I'm going to fire up this thread and pin it to track movement over coming days/weeks/months. As of now -- 6:08 p.m., 11/27 -- Wake Forest doesn't have any player who's entered the portal or announced intentions to do so.

The portal opens in a week but players can say they're planning to enter whenever the mood strikes. So I'll update this thread as best I can, as I did last year around this time.

Right now, all we've got to go on is which WF players tweet support for the NIL collective, Roll The Quad. I usually take those as unofficial signs that they're planning on being at WF next season. I've seen DeVonte Gordon and Dylan Hazen say such things so far -- two pretty big returners, if you ask me.

We're 2 1/2 months away from Wake's opening day, so might as well fire up a thread to gather some preseason baseball content.

Obviously there isn't going to be much here for the next few weeks, but it'll pick up as February draws closer.

In the meantime, Wake's schedule was announced back in late October -- here's a story on it that I was able to clear from the to-do list today.

Programming note: I'll have remote coverage. Had toyed with the idea of going ... but just couldn't make the logistics work. As an aside, it'll be Stan and Dinger for me -- through some weird package, I don't have ESPNU through my Spectrum deal.

Programming note: I won't be there, but we'll still have full coverage from a freelancer (Bob Sutton, my editor from newspaper days in Burlington).
