Belmont is going to beat Maryland.
Nice crowd on hand to watch Shaka's kids. Yikes...
275+ transfers announced already and none of them are from our team (yet)... I assume the players are just waiting to see what happens with Manning.

If Hoard leaves to go pro it will be such a shame. He has tremendous potential as a player but he certainly hasn’t been maximized this year and it feels like the poor coaching is really failing him in terms of development.
Jamie Lewis already announced that he is transferring. Of the returning players not that many candidates to transfer.
If Hoard leaves, he is going pro. If Sarr leaves, he is going to France. The rest of the frosh got plenty of playing time, with the exception of Wynn, and he played 10+ minutes in 8 ACC games that's more than he could've reasonably expected. Clearly, Torry Johnson wants to come back if the NCAA grants him another year. Chaundee had a sneaky good year, and when his eligibility runs out, he will get paid to play somewhere, why would he want to delay that for a season? That leaves Chill. He will come back unless WF cleans house (FWIW, could see WF offering Chill Senior a job in the athletic department if a coaching change is made), and even then, he may want to stay for his senior year.
Hell, Danny Manning’s 2019-2020 Wake team might draw more fans.
A lot of that is on Hoard though. If he gets stronger and asserts himself he should get 18 and 9 every night, regardless of who his coach is or isn't.
Agree with all of this... But we still had mass attrition last year when you could have made many of the same arguments.
Agree, but as bad as this year was, the vibe from the players was completely different. Obvious by the end of the last season that Crawford and Woods would rather be anywhere in the world (even Israel) than playing for WF. Moore didn't transfer; he wanted to get paid. Donovan Mitchell was the only semi-surprise. Seems like Hoard, Mucius, Wright and Wynn are pretty tight as a class, and that may help keep them together at WF.
