That is a big blow for Wake Forest, although Manning could repair the damage if Mitch Wilbekin, the younger brother of SEC player of the year Scottie Wilkekin, follows him to Winston=-Salem. The 6-1 Wilbekin is rated slightly higher than Mitchell -- he's a better scorer although at this point Mitchell is rated a better playmaker. Wilkekin originally signed with Manning at Tulsa, but has been granted his release -- Wake Forest and Virginia are considered his two most likely destinations.
Two things on this. One, I learned that Mitchell was ranked in the top 30 before having a knee issue (meniscus?) and dropping significantly in the rankings. It sounded a little like Quinn Cook's high school injury.
Second, I wondered if the Wilbekin recruitment was related to Mitchell decommitting - in other words, Mitchell didn't like that Manning was going after another PG.
