I honestly don't think money is the issue.
I think it's Wake. Despite Forbes being the definition of a player's coach and how loved he seemingly is by his player we still see a lot of players leave.
It's happened across different sports and with different coaches so much that I feel like it's just Wake itself.
Kindly, fuck off.What a bunch of babies here.
We should become the annual sponsor of the NIT - increase NIL opportunities for our players.NIT booked.
being a difficult academic institution with a mostly white and cliquey student body in a relatively boring small city is also not attractive to playersNot being a factor in the postseason that matters for 12+ years is not attractive to players.
By the way I heard this isn’t the end.
If the RTQ donations don't lead to a good team this year or next, I see the well drying up really fast. What are we paying for if we can't get into the tourney.It's a tough sell to get people to pony up even more money when the current war chest can't retain anyone.
Wake fans want to view their school on a level higher than App, Central Michigan, and Delaware but not on a level lower than other power conference schools. From that perspective, it's logically consistent for Wake fans to rationalize the transfers in but not out.Both AC and Boopie came here as transfers; why would anyone be surprised that they might leave as transfers? Didn't see anyone here feeling sorry for Delaware and C. Michigan when WF scooped up those two? Who feels bad for App State, Spillers committed here after Dustin Kearns developed him last year?

Also want to say this is nothing against RTQ at all, very happy to have the collective and love what they are trying to do for us. It's just the nature of the beast, if our money can't get it done then it will not continue coming.
Waning? It has been obvious for two years that he is not a good coach. His entire strategy is to try to annually coble together a fantasy team that can somehow catch lightning in a bottle and back its way into the tournament despite his subpar coaching. And he has continued to fail miserably at his strategy. Ideally he should have been canned after last season, he definitely should have been fired after this season if we had any sort of competent leadership, and now we're headed into the extended "why are we still fucking around with someone who isn't going to work out" shitshow territory like we did with Bzz and Manning. And the Lost Decades roll on, and you people act surprised when those closest to the program continue to flee like rats from a sinking ship.
and i'm not gonna keep giving money if the people in charge of that money can't retain the players i'm paying them to retainIt's a tough sell to get people to pony up even more money when the current war chest can't retain anyone.
Damn, I really like Carr.
