Was thinking earlier today, as there were a couple semi-anxious posts about what's "not gone on" the last few weeks in recruiting, that all the cheering about firing DM and hiring Steve Forbes was wildly over-optimistic for the moment. Sadly, Wake basketball hasn't been relevant since Dino was head coach. Over the 30 plus years before that we were only truly "relevant" during the Duncan era last 2 years. We did have a year or two here and there of over-achieving teams, but generally we weren't a factor nationally. If folks are honest, our best teams kind of under-performed. We have had history, but no pedigree or reputation to stand on. So to expect that Forbes is going to magically fulfill our dreams is pretty unfair. College bball today is basically all about the perennial top 9 teams of the millenium, Duke, UNC, Mich St., Kansas, Kentucky, Villanova, Louisville, and Gonzaga. Everybody else is gasping for air from one year to the next. If Wake Forest somehow manages to consistently get to 18-22 wins a year under Forbes in the next 3-5 years that will be a massive accomplishment. To do it with 3 star recruits will be next to impossible. Be patient with Forbes. He needs all the support he can get.
