I don't want to overstep my bounds but essentially what I heard was that some players, including Ish, were told they won't be getting minutes next year. Sounded like that discussion was had to either encourage them to hit the portal or at least give them time to get themselves situated for the transfer portal if they want to go that route.
From a pure talent perspective, there isn’t one player on this team that I will be disappointed if we lose other than Carter wet. Of course, there are several players I would LIKE to keep. Mucius for his hustle and leader ship. Oguama to see what he can develop into. Williamson as a versatile glue guy. But if I look purely at the talents and abilities of each individual player, there isn’t one that I look at and say “wow, we can’t afford to lose him“.
This is also why I don’t think we can judge Forbes as a coach in any way based on this season. There isn’t one player on this roster good enough to be consistently counted on to lead a team game after game. Awfully tough to coach with that type of talent deficit.
Obviously meant Carter Whitt, not “wet”. Won’t let me edit the post.
You have just recently gotten quite about him because the entire board all year new he sucked and you were the ONLY one singing his praises. Com-on-man!
I know you're sharp brother, you can definitely talk ball but I never did understand the Neath love. In the last few games Adam’s got the playing time and he showed what good defense should look like. It’s all good buddy. In all truth, Neath had opportunities to shine and this was not about Forbes, he just does not have an “it” factor at all. He is lazy on the D and rarely did much offensively. On to next year, but for me I think he and massoud need to be gone.
It's possible that Forbes, being the coach and all, saw something from Neath in practice that kept him from playing more. No?
One possible piece of the equation that is unknown is how badly Covid affected Neath.
Wake has two acknowledged Covid "long haulers," Ingraham and Dubose. Neath may have had some lingering issues that prevent him from playing like he did last year and early this year. We, or at least I, don't know how much conditioning and strength he lost to Covid.
Neath showed flashes of promise last season. They haven't been there this season. Covid or something else?
Here is an intriguing name for a grad transfer in big: Olivier Sarr, currently at KY.
Assumption had been that UK was the favorite here, but article suggests it is wide open. Tough to imagine Wake would be able to land him given some of the top programs interested.
There is less than a zero chance that Sarr will play basketball for WF again.
Obviously...no one said he would...but you don't pay attention anyway or admit when you are dramatically wrong.
