Been thinking about this for the past few days, but it should get very interesting this fall with who's going to be the starting PG. I've been thinking - What if Miles shifted over? I believe he could handle it well, great ballhandler and defender. BUT not discounting Frazier, Sheldon, AJ Brown and Estis. Should be interesting to see this very talented recrcuiting class coming in. Excited and can't wait for 22-23.

Yea, I think it’s more likely that Frazier and Estes don’t see much — if any game time at all.

I always thought Miles was more of a PG anyway. But I’ve been thinking, EJ4 has a ton on high school highlights of him handling the ball. Do we have him as a back up to Miles? Or have him learn behind Miles and the transfer?

I hope it was a PG, but it also might have been Gabe. He did commit Friday night.

Seems we're going hard after a PG in the portal, so you guys are likely correct that our starting PG isn't on the roster yet.

That being said, I still like the notion of 6'4 AJ Brown at point.

He could be a mighty fine PG if he develops. I have a gut feeling though Carter Whitt will be transferring here. If so very great pickup for next season.

What should I be seeing in Carter Whitt? I've never watched him play, but what's he good at? Terrible shooting numbers in two years at Wake, worse turnover rate than assist rate, and not even act standout per 40 numbers that you can parse out to strong production with more playing time.

Is 11mpg with poor production in the ACC an above average starter in the MAC? I'm not convinced.

he’s young. his 20/21 season was actually his sr year in hs. reclassified and entered wake at christmas. had better 1st year. lost his way this year. kid can ball. his passing would jazz the O zone. we will see.

Carter Whitt was the 9th highest ranked recruit in Wake Forest history. As previously stated, he didn't get off to a great start but he's only a sophomore in terms of elgibility.

We've had other highly ranked transfers in the past including Armon Bassett, Walter Offutt and Kenny Kaminski. They rarely turn into superstars in the MAC but there's normally a high chance of them being successful players at our level.

Whitt was the top ranked point guard in the state of North Carolina in 2020. He has decent size, vision and would be an upgrade at the PG position based on his potential alone.

Is it a guarantee that it'll work out if he signs with Ohio? No, but it's worth taking a shot. We'd have three top 200 high school recruits on the team simultaneously with multiple years of eligibility remaining. OU would have a clear talent advantage on the rest of the conference from a "ranking/potential" perspective.

I mentioned in a thread earlier this season that I don't believe Jeff Boals has any inclination of 2022/23 being a rebuilding season. I think he looks at it as a reloading year.

Of course, this is all speculation and we don't even know if Whitt will even sign with Ohio.

Yea, I pointed this out in the other thread. He started following multiple players and Furman’s hoops IG. He’s also unfollowed Roderick and IJ. I’d say he’s more than likely to go in that direction. Also closer to home, on top of the reasons you listed.

Plenty of PG’s still available in the portal. Would have been a nice get, though.

Edit — as of this morning, Boals is no longer following Carter. Onto the next.

Peyton Daniels would be a convenient back-up plan.

He had the grades to get into Vandy and an impressive list of offers.

Might not be eligible for the first few games since he played 3 times. (?)
