I didn't know that Wake Forest had pulled their offer, but I did wonder if there was room, looking at the roster and commits.When Wake pulled their offer I was hoping Layne would end up back here.

I'm reading between the lines a bit, but Ja'Sir Taylor shows as committing 1/19/17, I don't remember seeing it until Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week. WF probably had his commitment in their back pocket pending Layne's decision.Wake's offer was a "take it now or we are moving on" with a short (hours) deadline. He didn't commit, they moved on. He could have had it, but I guess wasn't sold. Wish he would have come back here.

I'd be with you on any other position group but, the previous staff, did know how to find and develp defensive backfield talent.Why are people disappointed about any of these guys committing elsewhere, especially this year. With a coaching change, we have no idea who they worked hard to keep, who they encouraged to look elsewhere, etc. What we do know is we landed a higher rated defensive back the previous staff was recruiting and hadn't committed here yet, saw a couple of other kids who had committed to the previous staff are now going elsewhere, and a few of those who had committed to the previous staff shared they were encouraged by the new staff to go elsewhere. So, for those in the middle, such as Craemer and Layne, we don't know if they chose to leave, were encouraged to leave, or were just disappointed to see they were not really a top priority of the new staff.
Whatever happened with each of these recruits, it's difficult to get too worried about it.

Douglas is coming as a WR. And the new coaches went in-home to Layne and allowed Creamer to commit after an official visit. Pretty sure they wanted both those guys.

We don't really know what they wanted or not with Layne and Creamer was my point, and you may be right. I wasn't referencing Douglas, but Handy-Holly.
