I can't imagine it's a money making venture to run a Wake site for profit right now. It's always been a hard sell, Wellman has made it damn near impossible. I bet the news that Manning was being retained went over really well in Les' household.
These aren't the days of Jim Grobe's open practices. Les had an interview from the 12th practice. Clawson talked a lot, but said little. the only thing that didn't need decoding was the injury report. DeaconIllustrated reported on the scrimmage. Since its behind a pay wall, I'll just say that Clawson is encourage by the youngsters and look for big things from Boogie. There should be more coming with the Spring Game on Saturday.
Aaron Curry and Riley Skinner are going to be the guest coaches for the spring game.
Didn't realize I was a topic of conversation today.
Once upon a time, I was at Deacons Illustrated. More than two years ago, I left to form Demon Deacon Digest, which is at 247Sports. Conor is correct that the current guy at Deacons Illustrated (though a nice guy) primarily covers Georgia Tech and lives in the Atlanta area. He's only covered a handful of things first hand since he's taken over the site, and he's certainly not been at any practices.
For every practice so far, I've had an absolutely free Q&A with Clawson (not a single Clawson interview has been behind a paywall) as well as a VIP (behind a paywall) virtual play by play of practice. I hope all the readers and subscribers have enjoyed. I'm tremendously lucky that Clawson allows us the access to see all the practices in camp and talk to virtually any players or coaches that we want.
Thanks for the kind words Conor, Wakeforest22890 and DeacsOrDie. Also, RacerDeac is pretty astute.
Jared Shelton was the guy back then I believe and did a good job.
I say this as a pretty big sports fan - anyone watching a spring football game on tv really needs to get a hobby
LOL, you better not have watched a minute of AAF with that kind of attitude.
My Dad comes to a couple games a year but could name no more than 2 guys. We are watching slow paced warm ups and he lets out a “Woah” who is WR #24? “He looks more fluid and athletic than everyone out there. What year is he?” (Checks notes), “Hey Dad, that is Donovan Greene, he should be a SR in HS right now.”
Have to agree with my Dad (Lectro-Lite?).
...and the Defensive #24 beat for 40 yards on 3rd play.
Yes, you all know who that is.
