This morning basketball takes the spotlight, as yesterday Philadelphia point guard Tony Chenault verbally committed to play basketball for the Demon Deacons, joining the class of 2010. Chenault is currently a three star prospect according to Scout.com. I'll publish my own take on this commitment in the next day or two, but here are some other stories until then.

Speaking of basketball, the pairings for the Anaheim Classic have been announced, and Wake Forest will face Cal State Fullerton in the first round, Thursday, November 27, on ESPN2. UTEP and St. Mary's are the other teams in Wake's bracket, and Wake would face the winner/loser of their game Friday on ESPNU. The final games are set for Sunday the 30th, with the championship being played on ESPN2. This doesn't exactly set Wake up for the matchups they would have most wanted from a strength of schedule perspective, but it does set them up well to have a good shot at winning the tournament.

Of course we can't totally ignore football, so here is Dan Collins' usual football notebook, as well as this feature on Josh Adams.

I'm traveling today, so if I'm slow to answer emails or anything like that I apologize. I expect to still have a full practice report up tonight.

This was apparently published late last week, but somehow I missed it.

Redshirt freshmen Josh Adams and Hunter Haynes were both named to the Sporting News ACC All-Freshman team, and Adams was named to their national All-Freshman 2nd team.

Congrats to all of them for earning these honors!

Josh Adams 140 yards and 2 touchdowns (1 rushing, 1 receiving) has earned him ACC Rookie of the Week honors.

It goes without saying that I expect it to be the first of many awards he receives over the next four years.
