Wake Forest received a verbal commitment from defensive end and former Indiana commit, Willie Yarbary, who visited Wake Forest this past weekend. Willie Yarbary is a 6’2" 270 pound defensive pound defensive lineman from the Academy of Richmond County in Augusta, Georgia. Yarbary was previously committed to Indiana University, but decided to flip his commitment following his official visit to Wake Forest this past weekend. Ironically enough, the current defensive coordinator at Indiana University is former Wake Forest University defensive coordinator, Brian Knorr. The consensus 3 star recruit This past season, Yarbary recorded 97 total tackles, 53 of which were solo, 9 sacks, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble. For his efforts, Yarbary was named honorable mention all-state for Class AAAA in Georgia. Yarbary will join fellow defensive line commits Zeek Rodney, Rashawn Shaw and Chris Stewart (Knight). Please join me in welcoming Willie to Wake Forest!

Thanks for the info.

Can't wait to see what those look like on game day.

I am a Cardinals my great grandma taught me well and like her I hate the Braves. I am the biggest bandwagon fan you will ever meet I usually root for the favorites. 

Any word DJ or CCG on why he flipped?

The Bobcats are set to embark on a four-game Western road swing on Wednesday after already playing 10 of their last 16 games away from Charlotte. With so much time away from home, Cody Zeller dishes on what NBA life is like on the road, as well as his recent ill-fated run-in with Blake Griffin. I got a lot of texts and tweets from friends about my missed dunk on Blake Griffin. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as it looked. I had a running start and he bumped me just enough that I didn't get to the rim, so I ended up just trying to get it there. Unfortunately, as you can see, I didn't. All my teammates are still talking about it, joking about how high I was. He's Blake Griffin and I'm a rookie so I'm not going to get the benefit of the doubt on that call. You win some, you lose some. You're going to get dunked on, you're going to dunk on someone. Maybe 10 years from now people will look at that picture and think I did throw it down. NBA road trips might seem glamorous, but traveling so much can be pretty tough on your body. The toughest part are the time changes, especially coming back from a road trip. You just never adjust. You try and sleep on the plane, but of course you're wide awake because you just played a game. We got home at 6:30 in the morning from a trip to Sacramento, but I didn't feel like I could just go sleep and waste the entire day. That's one of the toughest parts about NBA travel. Of course, they treat us pretty well. The flights are pretty quick and there's plenty of leg room -- which is huge -- and the hotels are pretty nice, but it's still rough on the sleep schedule. It's fun to travel and see new cities, but what's been most fun for me is getting to go around the country and see friends I don't normally get to see. We were in Los Angeles for New Year's Eve and I got to meet up with a friend of mine from Indiana. The regular-season schedule is so crazy we probably wouldn't see each other otherwise, so it's nice to be able to see different faces at different stops. Each player has their own thing they do on the plane. We have a group of 4-5 guys that usually play cards, a handful of people watch movies. I usually try and sleep, but that doesn't always work out. It's nice that we're based out of Charlotte because most of our road games are pretty quick trips. But if you're in Orlando like my buddy and former teammate Victor Oladipo, you've got to add 2 1/2 hours to every trip. My favorite road stop this season was probably Indiana because I got to see all my friends. Some guys on the team get excited about Miami and Atlanta because they have the best clubs, but that's not really me. Orlando was great because I got to catch up with Vic. We're always texting and comparing situations with each other. I definitely have the better one there. When I'm not sleeping I'm usually watching movies. If there's a new movie out that's good, there's a good chance one of the guys will have it. Anchorman 2 had some pretty funny lines, The Wolf on Wall Street was pretty entertaining. Lot of f-bombs. I thought Lone Survivor was pretty good, but as you can tell from the movie title everyone was pretty much bawling their eyes out after that one. I watched all of Breaking Bad, which was great. With so much time on the road, I zoomed through it pretty quick. It was pretty addicting. One of the toughest things about being on the road is there isn't a lot of time to work on your game. One thing I'm trying to do is get stronger, so I work with our strength and conditioning coach and will lift even on the road in our hotel weight room. The problem is, you play so many games you don't want to break down your body too much and you want to be fresh. So a lot of what I do is just maintenance to try and keep your strength throughout the season. In the summer I'll try and put on more muscle, but I've always been undersized so it's more of playing stronger and learning the right techniques on how to play in the post and trying to use my advantage and quickness to make it tougher on people. We're now halfway through the season and it's gone by quick. I can feel a huge difference in my game between now and training camp. Having two brothers, Luke and Tyler, go through the same thing has helped me be prepared for some of the challenges. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and building off the progress I've already made. And if I get a chance to throw down a big dunk on Blake Griffin again, I'l try the same thing. We'll see what happens. As told to SI.com's Matt Dollinger.

Before the season ever started, new Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said rookie Cody Zeller would have to play a big part for this team to reach its potential. Hasn’t happened yet. Not close. The No. 4 overall draft pick in June, Zeller flashed big potential in the Las Vegas summer league. Halfway through his first NBA season, however, he described himself as a role player, averaging five points, 3.8 rebounds and just under 17 minutes per game. He said he’s fine with that on a team trying to reach the playoffs. This has been nothing like a splash. Clifford said Zeller’s transition is normal these days among first-round picks, because they can’t anticipate how different it will be playing against grown men who are the world’s best basketball players. “He’s made gains. But he needs to learn how to act like a pro, think like a pro, practice like a pro, play like a pro. That’s not easy to do at 20 or 21 years old,” Clifford said. “When Cody went to practice at Indiana, probably if he’s at 70 percent concentration, he’s still the only 7-footer there. Those guys can’t keep him from doing things. Here, if he’s not on,” he’ll be dominated. The 2013 draft class has had little impact in general. Philadelphia 76ers point guard Michael Carter-Williams, the 11th overall pick, was good immediately. The first pick, Anthony Bennett, has been so bad in Cleveland he might be sent to the Development League. The players chosen just before and after Zeller – Otto Porter in Washington and Alex Len in Phoenix – have done little. Zeller is playing behind Josh McRoberts at power forward, and for now the gap between them is significant. Seventh-season pro McRoberts isn’t just more experienced, he’s strong enough to guard without foul trouble. Zeller has speed, quickness, skill and basketball IQ, but at 7-0 and 240 pounds, he doesn’t yet have what Clifford calls the “functional strength” to face off against the Blake Griffins and Zach Randolphs who define NBA power forwards. “It’s his hips, his core, his back. It takes some time,” Clifford said. “When Blake Griffin hits (a rookie), normally he goes straight (to where he wants to be) and the other guy goes that way.” Not discouraged Zeller seems to accept all this well. He said after practice Tuesday – the Bobcats will play Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday – he embraces what the coaches have asked of him and he feels better about his performance the past few games. “Everyone on the court is so talented that there is not much room for error,” Zeller said. “On defense if you’re a step late, it’s an easy layup. If you hesitate a little bit on offense it’s the difference between two points and a turnover.” He often compares notes with former Indiana teammate Victor Oladipo, chosen second overall by the Orlando Magic. Oladipo’s scoring looks more impressive (13.5 points per game), but Zeller understands the Magic is in full-rebuild mode. “We’re in a lot different situations,” Zeller said. “He gets a lot of chance to play, the ball is always in his hands. He’s playing different positions, they’re asking a lot of him. A lot of shot attempts, a lot of attention.” Zeller understands the Bobcats’ need for him to get stronger, but he said there’s only so much bulk his frame can support, and he’s trying to work his way through the issue. “I’ve always been undersized,” Zeller said. “Even when you’re not the strongest guy, you need to play strong. It’s outworking your guy, using advantages you do have. Obviously I can put on some weight, but I’m never going to be 280.” Expectations Zeller was named to the all-summer league team after averaging 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in Las Vegas. He showed up as a rookie of the year candidate in nba.com’s preseason poll of general managers. Four months later it’s questionable whether he’ll be selected for the game matching first- and second-year pros at All-Star Weekend. Zeller said he’s never let where he was drafted create undue pressure. “I’ve dealt with pressure my whole life,” said Zeller, youngest of three brothers who have played in the NBA. “You just have to worry about what coaches are telling you, what your teammates are saying. Not worry about what the media is saying or the fans. They aren’t in the locker room, they aren’t on the practice court.” Bobcats teammate Gerald Henderson relates. Like Zeller, Henderson was a lottery pick out of a high-profile college program (Duke). He played so little as a rookie that he never got into the 2010 playoff series against the Magic. “This is a different monster,” Henderson said. “This is his first time seeing it, and that split-second makes all the difference: The recognition and anticipation.” Clifford said force-feeding Zeller minutes, as some fans have advocated, wouldn’t speed this process. “People think by throwing them out there, they get better. I don’t agree,” Clifford said. “I want a role that 1) he earns and 2) that he can play well in. If that’s 16 minutes right now, then that’s what he needs to be.” Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/01/21/4629806/charlotte-bobcats-cody-zeller.html#.UuM4XWQo569#storylink=cpy http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/01/21/4629806/charlotte-bobcats-cody-zeller.html#.UuM4XWQo569

I say send we give prayers for the students at Purdue during their difficult time.

Cody is getting very few touches of the ball today against Toronto and has only 2 points which are on free throws and has only played 15 minutes in today's game.
