As we hit the doldrums of summer for college sports, we here at Blogger So Dear want to make sure our readers are still keeping up with the Deacs and all the news. We will be doing an internet round-up 2-3 times a week to conglomerate everything Wake Forest related in a series of links and tweets!

Woods is a 6-3 shooting guard transfer from Charlotte, where he shot 46.6% from behind the arc last year as a freshman. He would be a nice addition moving forward.
