Yes, this appears to be headed in the same direction as every other Wake Forest "success" story. . .

 

[CONeill]

If Salís goes to Australia I’m going to be super pissed.

Feel confident in saying Sallis' agent isn't Michael Tellem.

 

[DeacDaddy]

Oh me oh my

 

[Biff Tannen]

Hunter was gonna declare for the draft, but then he got high.



This might be referring to a different Hunter.

 

[redwing42]

195 players for what, 45 spots? I know that some will go through the process and return, but that is a lot of people getting bad advice.

 

[BarcaDeac]

nothing like a paperwork error to fire up the Deacon fanbase

 

[DeacDaddy]

Great 15 minutes. Really glad we could spend it all together.

The most Wake Foresty 15 minutes ever

 

[Deacfan1995]

It’s an error. Hunter IS going through the draft process

 

[warak]

rude! Sallis is and should go through the process...and then come back to Wake!

It's 195 for 58 spots, and the 195 is pretty misleading.

From rough scanning:
39 are international players
15 are G-League/OTE

20-30, maybe more are guys who entered, already got the feedback that they weren't going to be drafted, entered the portal and have committed -- Aidoo, Brea, Carr, just looking at the ABCs.

Throw in how easy it's become to go through the process and withdraw before midnight on May 29, it's a manageable number.

LOL 15 minutes of hope has got to be the most recurring Wake thing ever

 

[Pilchard]

Is this going to come down to who made the clerical error?

If its the NBA, Sallis goes through the draft process?

If it is his agent, Sallis is foreclosed?

Also, understand that the league has to have deadlines, but its not like combine invites and visits have been set and scheduled; so, is the NBA likely to be open to allowing Sallis and any others in the draft if the issue results from simply messing up the paperwork?

A small blip in the 15 years of nope.

 

[WakeFanAdam]

Its like you get into bed, and your wife steps out of the closet in a new piece of lingerie, and then five minutes later there’s a knocking on the door. “daddy, i just threw up in my bed”. 6 to 12 back to 6.
Sigh

i'd have a pretty hard time celebrating a hunter return from a paperwork mix-up

I would not

 

[BarcaDeac]

well I'm sure he'd be thrilled to come back and give it his all for the Deacs if that's the case

 

[bym051d]

At least we’re still not at the most Wake Forest thing ever. That would be if he is in the draft and he enters the transfer portal.
