Yup. You sorta knew there was going to be one "surprise" and hoping Boopie was it for the year. Cam would be a nut punch.Just an oversight, Cam is obviously very important to our program moving forward, would be a massive loss.

That’s not how real market value works. Putting real world dollars on it, Boopie increased his value here at Wake, so its far from certain we will replace him with an equal player for that same amount of money, + the cost of recruiting.
Based on what RTQ has posted today, Wake basketball presumably has a couple hundred thousand dollars to pay it's 3rd or 4th best player. Boopie clearly wanted to be paid closer to being the best player, which is north of $500k, or he was going to leave. Wake chose not to do that.That’s not how real market value works.

I am not saying they should. I am saying I wish we were finding out at the same time we hearing about the exits.Why would any of them compromise their NIL negotiations with Wake by announcing that right now?
If we don't hear a transfer announcement from any of our guys in the next like 48 hours I think it's safe to assume they're sticking around. Excluding weird Bobi situations I suppose
Part of the reason but the main is his parents wanted him to because they didn't like how Forbes pulled him out of games when he was out of control. Wait see how they like if he goes to a a blue blood and messes upAny of you all that think Boopie is leaving even in part because he was scared he’d lose his playing time are delusional.
It’s money.
Has nothing to do with fucking up. We needed to increase our overall talent and we are immediately working from a deficit, that’s just analysis - it has nothing to say about blame or intentions.I assess whether or not Forbes fucked up here.
You haven't been paying attention our guards have been doing that move for yearsWhatever conference Boopie is transferring to is filled with players about to get quite annoyed at his clever foul-inducing stop-motion move.
It’s what I’ll remember most about him, besides his awesome nickname.
Now, if he transfers in-conference, and any of our guys allow him to pull that move on them next year, I’m going to be very upset. Of course, that wouldn’t be the only upsetting part of that scenario.

hard to put a price tag on moving back to the greatest city in the worldMore of a Blue Demon than a Blue Devil
Maybe. We really don’t know what these conversations were like. I have no doubt we wanted to keep and would be better today with Boopie in the fold, but we have no clue what Forbes said to Boopie about his role and value.Has nothing to do with fucking up.

Long way from the beach.hard to put a price tag on moving back to the greatest city in the world
I mean your first post was about whether or not you have faith in Forbes program. I read that as an implication that Forbes was making mistakes in how he is retaining players, and talking about that today would obviously be related to Boopie leaving. If I'm misunderstanding you, then my apologies.Has nothing to do with fucking up.

do we feel the coaching carousel is about done turning? Because there could be some more HS decommits a la PFred.This year, Forbes will have 5-6 open scholarships for the portal.
Last year, we brought in 4 transfers.
The prior year, we brought in 4 transfers.
After Forbes year 1, we brought in 5 transfers.
I think it'll all work out just fine.
