Our fans have forgotten what an ACC player and an ACC team looks like. Rondale could be Downey? No, just no.
LOL. I had to laugh at that...My point is I'm surprised he transferred. For the record, he'll never be Downey but he could have contributed more and it's interesting he didn't want to stay.
He shot 38.7% from the field this season. Only Wilbekin (34.5%) and Hudson (34.0%) were worse among the regulars.
He shot 30.0% on 3s. Only Hudson was worse at 26.4%.
At the FT line, he was the worst FT shooter of all of the scholarship players at 55.6%.

No doubt and it's win-win. The kid played better than people thought (especially D) and he's going to move on...good for him. Manning gets another open spot and with McClinton likely leaving early next year post grad, we'll have 3 for 2017...good for Manning. The jumbo class cycle is finally gone!Crawford and Childress will split the point guard minutes next year. Woods and Wilbekin and possibly Washington will split the two guard minutes. Watson saw the writing on the wall- his playing time was going to go down next year and as someone pointed out...sophomore year is the time to transfer- not junior year.
surprisingly he was one of our better players this year.
He could be Taron Downey.
Does anyone know the story behind Rondale's recruitment? NBATV had a segment the other week on the coach of Rondale's high school. He's some billionaire who coaches both the boys and girls teams, owns the Greenbrier and is now running for governor of WV. Aynways just thought it was unlikely that Wake stumbled upon this prospect who wasnt really recruited by any other schools. Seems more likely that something happened behind the scenes with the billionaire and Wellman/BZ.

That guy coaches the local bball team??
Wellman and [name redacted] probably got at least a nice weekend together in the honeymoon suite out of the deal.
Wasn't Rondale suspended twice in two years? Both times with Hudson? Who was asked to leave the program?
Are we absolutely sure this is 100% Rondale's decision? If I was Manning and I asked him to leave for a post season team violation, I wouldn't publicize that info to enable him to find an eaiser landing spot.
