The Big East and the ACC were successful in luring top high school talent this past year. Wake Forest, with their three five-star newcomers, could be a team to watch out for in the coming seasons.

As you might expect when you have the nation's top-ranked recruiting class, several of your conference's top newcomers will be arriving on campus in the fall. The one player we pursued heavily who signed with a Big East rival was center
Zac Henderson, who picked St. John's instead.
Lafayette had only one scholarship to offer, and it went to a three-star JUCO player, guard
Joey Shoffner. Their class is, therefore, rated low (#275 overall).
