On Saturday evening, Danny Manning and the Wake Forest basketball program received a commitment from 2016 shooting guard, Richard Washington. Washington is a 6'5" 180 pound shooting guard, who attends Walsingham Academy School in Williamsburg, Virginia. However, he is only ranked 197th nationally by 247 Sports, which has caused some Wake Forest fans to be concerned. Should they be?
I'll start by stating that despite his lower ranking, Washington was not a backup plan. Danny Manning has made Washington a priority for some time, and he got his man. Manning has proven to have an excellent eye for talent, and I'll trust him until he proves me wrong.
