Worthy of a class action law suit to get your ticket price back😵‍💫

Feel bad for the defense. Our offense is completely unsuited for a short, inexperienced, turnover prone QB. This L is on Clawson and Ruggiero

I should have said Alondes looks unmotivated on the defensive end. Where’s the pride in locking down the one opposing player who is basically killing your team’s chance of stealing a conference road win. Overall, an underwhelming defensive effort overall. Can’t pull yourself back from an early...

Williams loafing on D. His man is Wong, who is getting to the paint at will

Events of the last couple of weeks have (IMHO) clearly reinforced how savvy Currie was to move on from Manning last year. Given all the high profile programs making changes this year, you have to think that Forbes more likely than not would have had better and higher profile programs knocking on...

I seem to recall he had a parent pass away a some point in the past 9 months. Perhaps he simply wants to play closer to his family.

With admittedly no basketball coaching experience and no in-person observation of any team members or games this year, my take is as follows: Post-grads: Would be OK with me if they all moved on, as they only delay younger players getting experience and improving, Dubose is the only one I would...

Alden Applewhite, 6'7 top 150 senior out of Arizona announcing between us, Clemson, Mississippi State, Iowa State, (and a fifth suitor I can't remember) on his birthday this coming Thursday. Anyone have any vibes about our chances?

While I despise K and all the poorly behaving Duke fans as much as everyone else on the boards, I actually find the Duke Basketball Report website fairly informative overall about current ACC basketball (with the added benefit of snarky comments about Royboy and the Tarholes):bowrofl: They...

I have it from a pretty reliable source at the med school that the Atrium-WF Baptist-WFUSOM merger (that went official within the past 72 hours) includes $5 billion (with a b) of Atrium funds going into the WFU endowment. So this timing seems right. COVID going reasonably OK on the undergrad...

Joey Amonette with an accent...:tear:

Agree with this. Forbes is a face-to-face relationship guy, a strength that is very difficult to project via Zoom calls (particularly when you are relatively "late to the party" with most top recruits relative to other schools who have been recruiting such players for a year or more). Given...

Does anyone know Coach Forbes' Wake e-mail address. I work at the Medical Center, but couldn't find it when I did a e-mail search there.

While this year's recruiting class may fall short of what all of us would all like, I am very encouraged that Forbes and staff are competing for top 150 talent despite all the barriers they face: (1) the late hiring on 4/30, (2) all the COVID restrictions for in-person evaluations, campus...

Makes me wonder whether last year's VT shoulder injury (for which everyone has been very tight lipped about) is perhaps continuing to be sufficiently problematic such that it might hurt his performance (and potential draft status) should play actually occur this fall. That said, he seems like...

A painful reminder about how long and rocky the road will be back to competitive relevance both on the court and in recruiting. We now have the coach/staff and facilities to attract top talent, but will need to demonstrate we can consistently win against top conference competitors in order to...

Wonder whether our connection to Kidd Jr. comes from BJ McKie and/or Randolph knowing Kidd Sr. from their overseas playing days.

Too bad about Ford. Sounded like he had the size/tools to really develop. Does anyone with inside connections have any idea about (a) how many scholarships we are likely to have left and (b) who are the players and positions we are prioritizing to finish off this class?

Wrong Ohio school RJ. Toppin played for Dayton

Given the Schiano FB coach fiasco at UT, Currie knows he has to get this hire right or he will never be able to attract another quality coach in any sport. He also likely knows that he can't "short arm" this hire and "settle" for the cheapest option with the minimal "body of work" resume who is...
