Wake Forest hopes bigger is better when it comes to signing recruits.

The Demon Deacons announced the largest recruiting class of coach Jim Grobe's tenure there on Wednesday.

The 25-player class covers 12 states and virtually every position on the field. Three of the players have already enrolled.

The 13th-year coach calls it ``a big class for us'' and it eclipses the 23-player group he signed in 2003.

Scout.com rates the class as the 10th-best in the 14-team Atlantic Coast Conference with 11 players receiving three stars and none receiving four or five.
