Wake Forest lands a shooter
Parker Friedrichsen, a 6-foot-4 guard out of Bixby, Oklahoma is headed to the ACC. He previously signed with Notre Dame but received his release from the national letter of intent following the announcement that Fighting Irish head coach was stepping down at the end of the season.
Friedrichsen also committed to Oklahoma State before reopening his recruitment last May. He becomes the third player in the 2023 class to sign with the Demon Deacons. Previously HC Steve Forbes received commitments from four-star guard Aaron Clark and four-star forward Marqus Mitrovic Marion.
On the recruiting website On3 Consensus, Friedrichsen ranks as the 122nd overall prospect in the class.
Calipari Witnesses History
On Thursday, February 16th Lyon County High standout Travis Perry star Travis Perry (2024) put on a show. Perry, who is uncommitted, set a school record by scoring 61-points in his last regular season game of his junior season. In attendance were several college basketball head coaches including Kentucky boss John Calipari who offered Perry in the summer of 2022.
He’s now preparing for a post-season run in Kentucky that could culminate with a visit to Rupp Arena for the state tournament. Perry is also being courted by Indiana, Michigan, Purdue, Ole Miss, and Cincinnati.
