The Wake Forest Demon Deacon sports blog where Charlie Brown is still trying to kick that football...
This is one is going to hurt. Wake Forest sophomore guard Juke Harris has announced his decision to enter the NBA draft and the transfer portal, essentially ending his time as a Demon Deacon. Harris had a career best season and one of the best seasons for a Wake Forest player in program history. The […]
The Deacs have 4th loss of the offseason, with freshman PG Jaylen Cross entering the transfer portal. Cross was a late addition to the 2025 recruiting class last season after de-committing from Charlotte in April. The 6-4 Greensboro native was rated as a 3-star prospect, but really didn’t get a chance to show what he […]
The Deacs officially have their 3rd loss of the offseason, with junior forward Cooper Schwieger entering the portal. Schwieger was the first addition to the roster from the portal in the 2025 offseason cycle as the replacement big man for the graduating Efton Reid. Despite averaging 15.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game […]
Wake Forest has their 2nd loss of the offseason with back up point guard Sebastian Akins heading into the transfer portal. Akins, a sophomore who transferred to Wake Forest from Denver, spent just 1 season with the Deacs where he averaged 5.3 points and 1.9 assists per game. He shot a career low 40% from […]
The offseason is here and that’s means it is officially transfer portal season for the Wake Forest basketball team. Kicking things off this year is junior forward Marqus Marion, who is the first Deac to enter the transfer portal. Marion was a 3-star prospect and the #1 recruit from Denmark in the 2023 recruiting class. […]
The 2025-26 season has officially come to an end for Wake Forest at the hands of the Illinois State Redbirds. It was a season to forget for Wake Forest, so perhaps it is only fitting that it ends dropping a home game to an Illinois State team that went just 12-8 in the MVC. When […]

The road to Indianapolis continues for the Deacs, as Wake Forest defeated Navy 82-72 in the Joel to advance to the next round. Let’s make this one a rapid recap since it is the NIT and the Deacs only trailed for a whole 15 seconds in this one. Wake got another pretty balanced scoring effort […]

The men’s Basketball team is not the only team that is still playing, as the Wake Forest Women’s Basketball Team has also been selected to play in the postseason. After starting the season 12-3 with a win over Pittsburgh on January 1st, the Deacs struggled for the remainder of the year and finished at just […]
The Deacs aren’t done playing basketball. Despite finishing the season in 13th place in the ACC with a 17-16 record, Wake Forest was not only invited to play in the NIT, but they are a 1 seed. In the opening round, the Deacs will take on Navy on Wednesday at 7pm. Navy finished the season […]
Outside of a very unlikely NIT invitation, Wake Forest’s season officially came to an end tonight with a 62-71 loss to Clemson in the ACC Tournament. For the 20th season in a row, Wake Forest failed to win more than 1 game at the ACC Tournament, meaning that the Deacs will miss the first round […]

Wake Forest sophomore guard Juke Harris has been named the ACC’s Most Improved Player as well as 2nd Team All-ACC. In his second season at Wake Forest, Harris improved his scoring output from 6.1 points per game in 2025 to 21.7 points per game—the 3rd highest average in the conference. On top of improving his […]
St. Louis, Missouri guard Quentin Coleman, who committed and signed with Wake Forest last year, has been granted his release from Wake Forest. The 6-4 guard is a 4-star prospect and was originally rated as the 92nd best player in the 2026 when he committed to Wake Forest. In his senior season, Coleman averaged 22.6 […]
The 2025-26 regular season has officially come to an end, and the Deacs are heading to the ACC Tournament with a win. After overcoming a terrible start to the game, Wake got hot in the 2nd half and dropped 51 points on the Golden Bears to win the game 80-73. I’m not sure the start […]

The Deacs had a shot at this one. Despite being on the road against the #13 team in the country, Wake never let this one get away and had their chances down the stretch to tie the game. It was a valiant effort, but, in the end, the Deacs just never could get a stop […]

After losing to Boston College in of the worst losses of the Forbes era, there was really only 2 ways things were going to go: the team was either going to fold and fall apart, or use that game as motivation and bounce back. Thankfully, we got the latter—the Deacs put together one of their […]

There is no way to sugar coat this one—that was a very bad loss to a very bad Boston College team. On a night where Juke Harris goes off for 38 points, the Deacs got nothing from basically everyone else and lost on a last second tip in to the second worst (by NET) major […]
