I can get more excited about his body of work than Buzzy so I am all in. #ManUP!

Marshall is still the Wichita lineman for a reason . Jerk .
They better bring their checkbook. I think this likelihood is low without some sort of whopper success that would attract possible elite program attention.
I see what you did here. If he has some sort of whopper success maybe he will be a big king. Hope he dosn't turn out to be a whopper jr.
This.I am making an assumption that he's personable enough to recruit. If he is, he's got a great story to tell top players. Combine his life story with Tim, Josh, CP3 and other current NBA players and we have a great shot to get them.
While we can't be 100% sure he's a top HC yet, his ability to be an excellent big man's coach is extremely evident by the guys from KU in the NBA. They were all prepared to play.
This year's Tulsa team won its conference championship after tying for the regular season title. It's not the ACC, but it shows he can win.
His personal story is that of bball lifer. He grew up in the game. He was a superstar. He played for many HOFers and actually listened to them. He was also will to start at the bottom. He did the dirty work. Then rose due to paying his dues.
I originally liked Howland, but then I talked to a lot of people around here. Remember the Wears are from HB. I came to believe he would have destroyed our program. He is radio active right now.
Obviously I wanted Shaka. Marshall was a second guy, but I described why I didn't think he'd even listen.
I think Wake paying that jerk $2+ million to coach here would've been a much wiser investment. But hey, 90% of the board thinks Manning will be a success here. You can't expect more agreement than that.
I certainly think we make the NCAA Tournament in two years, and will be on the bubble next year.
Not really anything to do with Manning in particular, but just because of the breakdown of our team.
The biggest indicator will be what we are like in year three.

Holy crap, I can't believe this poll is overwhelmingly "success." I'm not being a hater. I would like to hear from some of the "success" voters what leads you to this conclusion, other than hunches. Is it just optimism? Do you think Danny Manning is going to have Wake Forest performing at the level we had for the 20 years prior to [Redacted]? That was 14 trips to the NCAAs, etc., etc.
The Wake Forest fan experience is about emotional devastation. If we start out realistic, we don't have as far to fall.
