A preferred walk-on like Wes Miller who is a division one talent isn't going to be in the typical walk-on role. You are looking for him to possibly break into the rotation. We took another preferred walk-on the following year who wasn't as good as Wes Miller in Mike Drum, who also had Wake connections. I am sure he came here with the understanding that he would compete for playing time.
In reality, we could have desperately used both.
And there were alot of us saying at the time that it was nuts that a division one quality player from a Wake family who was willing to walk-on here wasn't given a preferred spot. He didn't have to try out to get a preferred spot with one of the top 3 premier basketball programs in the US and you are claiming he should have been forced to try out at Wake?
