Jonathan Isaac, an elite 2016 small forward, has trimmed his list of schools down to 12. Wake Forest, who was one of the first high major teams to notice Isaac, has made the cut. Manning and his staff continue to demonstrate the ability to identify talent earlier than others. The Deacs first offered Isaac in November, but since then, his recruitment has exploded. In January, he was a consensus top 75 to 90 player, but now he is ranked 7th overall by 247, and is 37th in the composite ratings.
There's no telling how much of a factor, if any, Wake Forest's early involvement will play in Isaac's recruiting process.
