my understanding is that Childress staying is absolute. The other 2 coaching positions and the coordinator are of Danny's choosing. No guarantees,etc for Rusty or Battle. Childress was the one the past few years that the players leaned on when Chill worked in an AD assistant role and as an...

this is knowledge from a very inside source that of course like all leaks, must reman anonymous. This person would know all the details. Like everything, I will believe it when I see the official announcement.

Manning has his foot in the door not because the high school players know who he is from his college days but that the parents and coaches (high school and AAU) know who he is. Once Manning does with his foot in the door will depend on his coaching/recruiting abilities and that of his assistant...

CHildress will be the recruiting persona that Manning needs. Manning and CHildress will form the nucleus for the future of Wake Forest basketball as coaches. They will build it, the players will come

I love the Welcome Coach Clawson and Coach Manning. Go Deacs. This is a new era for Wake Forest,much as we entered when we changed to Grobe and Prosser. I am very happy with the changes and expect good things from the Deacs Go Deacs

Childress will be kept on staff. Other coaches no guarantees. Again, Childress will remain on staff. I love the idea of Manning and Childress

since it seems like many want people on the record for this hire, count me in on the side of Danny Manning. Not a HR but there was not a HR to be had at this time and situation for Wake Forest. Danny Manning will be a good fit at Wake Forest and do well here. A good press conference next week...

In. Good luck Coach Manning and Go Deacs

no way Wake reaches out to Pitino Jr.

if he is flying to Tulsa prior to going to Dallas it should mean he is going to tell the players that he is leaving for Wake Forest in person before it breaks over Final 4 Weekend Breaking news of a DannyManning hire over Final 4 weekend would be very good and much needed good press for...

yes! They would have Danny Manning as a guest host much like Buzz Williams or at least do interviews with him.

cannot believe we have not heard anything yet today

[Redacted] situation was unique in that it was a historically bad run. Follow that with the party line of all is well and heavens yes the program is heading into the correct direction. I would be impressed that there are people so passionate about Wake basketball. I would come in and win the press...

Shaka I get. Completely different school at VCU. He is one of the, if not the, hottest name out there for mid major coaches. He is running VCU the way he wants. He can hold there for a huge job - IU, Louisville, Kentucky, UNC,etc. Manning is a ways away from that stature and has to further...
