Did this come out of left field or had this been discussed as a possibility and I missed it?
Yes, (completely) unsurprisingly, it did. It evidently doesn't take much to get a Wake basketball schollie these days.
i don't know what i think of this
feels like we've got a long list of mediocre to below average guards in our future
we still have another ship to use for 2018-19 assuming no lorng, yes?
We have a long list of mediocre to below average guards in our future. According to Ranger (below), we can't count on Jamie Lewis to contribute anything either. We'll have a trio of low major super seniors, though.
This feels like rock bottom.. Maybe?
Every time I think that we're getting there, shit like this happens.
Should have another ship for this season.
Andrien looks like a good get. He will be 23 playing for us next season. Proven scorer, decent reboubder and an old dude in the locker room is a good thing. He’s had a lot of 20 point games in his career which shows he can put it in the basket.
Old dudes in the locker room didn't do much for us this year.
20 point games? vs. Davidson, @ ECU, @ Old Dominion, @ North Texas, vs. UAB, vs. UTEP, and vs. UTSA on a team whose level of competence made Wake look like Duke. Is that really impressive? Meanwhile, dude put up 3 points (0/7 FG, 0/4 3FG, 3/4 FT), 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist, and 2 turnovers in 20 minutes against one of the worst Wake teams in recent memory. I just can't get excited about a desperation pickup like this. It's great for White, but it further suggests that we probably won't be very good for a really long time.
God we suck. Taking a sit 1 to play 1 combo guard, instead of recruiting the shit out of Anthony Harris? Put all the chips in on Harris and stop wasting scholarships on guys that won't impact the program. We don't need 4 point guards on scholarship.
Yep. Yep. Yep. We're recruiting a lot of 2019 guards who are ranked highly enough that they could be productive players. Picking up White sounds like Manning and the staff have zero faith they can recruit a top-100 2019 player. It also makes it seem like they have zero faith in Wright and Lewis, combo guards who
they recruited, who are
already on scholarship, and who will be
sophomores by the time White can play.
It's just getting pathetic around here and that has nothing to do with our fan base and its misery.
