"I don't know how much of an opportunity he'll get playing behind Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford," Barry said. "But he's been excellent. I think he's better suited to the pro game than college."

Wake Forest went on a two-game road swing and the Demon Deacons certainly have been considerate of their fans back home. Those fans missed seeing only touchdown from their team.

My Take on Wake - Everyone Wants To Know: Where Did Wake’s Offense Go? | JournalNow.com
"We’re always trying to design a plan that will give Riley a chance to be successful. That’s always a concern. If you’re not good offensively and you’ve got a good quarterback, as coaches we look at ourselves first and then we look at the supporting cast. And in some cases we maybe expect too much out of Riley. I think sometimes you think he’s going to go out and be perfect, and that’s not going to happen for anybody.‘

Scout.com: D-One Sports Combine Recap
J.T. Terrell, SG- By now, Scout.com readers know the drill when it comes to the future Demon Deacon. An explosive one on one (and even one on two) scorer, Terrell puts defenders on their heels with his patented hesitation dribble and crossover before exploding into deep jumpers. He’s added some bulk making him an even better finisher around the rim. Looking ahead, learning to become a little more economical with his dribbling and how to use screens to his advantage will make him a more complete player and even more dangerous weapon.
Melvin Tabb, PF- Headed to Wake Forest with Terrell, Tabb has been doing some work in the weight room and looks great from a physical standpoint. Big guys kind of get lost in workout settings like the combine, but he still set screens, got on the glass and did a solid job of scoring the ball. Sometimes, big guys will really force things due to a lack of touches but Tabb managed to avoid falling into that trap.
