Posted Sep 19, 2025
It's not often you get a 2-for-1 combo in college basketball recruiting. That is just what Wake Forest pulled off. On Thursday, the Placide Twins, 4-star 2026 prospects, committed to the Demon Deacons. Gavin Placide, a 6-foot-9 forward from Denver, Colo., is ranked the No. 50 overall recruit in the nation. He chose Wake Forest over LSU and NC State. (247 Sports)
