Also felt like the prevailing wisdom around here was that we'd lose one of Marsh and Keller...

Right. Are they in better shape going forward? Maybe. It’s not obvious though.VT won the ACC Champoinship in 2022. They have made 5 NCAATs since 2017; L'ville won the Natty and went to another Final 4 since the last time WF made it the round of 64. Also, not sure if WF is done with its players heading to the portal.
Sounds like NIL value related.Damn, what the fuck happened with Boopie?
To me, I assume that this means Forbes has high confidence that he can easily find improvements in the portal at the backup big slots.Also felt like the prevailing wisdom around here was that we'd lose one of Marsh and Keller...

It’s also hilarious we spend all season with game thread crazies bitching about these players then complain when they leave.I think it's weirdly amusing that we have so many players leaving so quickly that we have posters that can't even accurately list who has left. Crazy times.

I don't think either Marsh or Keller made this decision without Forbes nudging them towards the door
A poll right now asking "Is Boopie a good ACC starting PG?" would get wildly different answers than it would have a week agoIt’s also hilarious we spend all season with game thread crazies bitching about these players then complain when they leave.
I am not sure how valuable Boopie having an additional year of eligibility is. The problem is, if he comes close to playing at the level he is likely asking ($$$), then he probably leaves you in a year for an even better payday somewhere else.He’s small and turned the ball over too much but his first year line in the ACC was 15.6 points, 3.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds on 46% FG and 37% from 3. And he has two years of remaining eligibility. Anyone who doesn’t see a player with that profile as an extremely valuable piece is crazy.
Why would any of them compromise their NIL negotiations with Wake by announcing that right now?I wish we were getting some confirmation for some guys returning to counterbalance all of the exits today.
Go to the first page, look at how many players other ACC teams are also losing, and take a deep breaththis many guys leaving is not a good look for WFU hoops.
Eh, losing a Keller or Ituka is different than losing Boopie. In all likelihood we won’t be replace Boopie with a better player, and having to recruit a new starting point guard takes time and recruiting resources that we needed to make the team better and deeper at other positions.Go to the first page, look at how many players other ACC teams are also losing, and take a deep breath
just you waitAlso funny to me that we spent the last 2+ years arguing about Keller and his ability to play at this level... and then with a single tweet, nobody will ever talk about it again (aside from a few scattered posts wishing him well).
