Don't do it Wes. SC is a grave for basketball coaches.

The reports of Frank’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. He is a beloved coach and will be given every opportunity to regroup once Covid is under control. He means so much to everyone around SC athletics.
 
 
Wake Forest Basketball Recruiting: Carter Whitt Commits! and Cam Hildreth from UK!

Based on a quick Google search, it looks like George Harris is in the same constellation of Toronto area prep schools as the one Neath attended.
 
Yep, let's stay on Neath publicly and constantly. That should work well with Boakye.

BUT you'd make yourself feel good.

I NEVER said anything even REMOTELY like that. But keep lying, it's so becoming.

Protect your being a dick. Protect your rationalization. So that you can keep taking pot shots at a 20 yo like the internet tough guy you like being.

If Jahcobi Neath is reading the boards, then he has issues beyond basketball. This is a safe place for fans to come whine and bitch about a player or coach not doing well because it’s out of their realm. They shouldn’t be on here. I haven’t seen anyone say anything ill-mannered on Twitter to him.

I've criticized Neath for disappearing in some games and trying to do what he is not. I have encouraged him to play to his strengths, taking it to the hoop and valuing the ball. I am still hopeful he will embrace Forbes style. Support the team.

That's completely fine.

There was no reason to go personal as a first reaction.

We know for a fact that all the way back OCC (Oden, Conley, Cook) recruits, their families and opposing coaches discuss what's posted here. If you weren't around, Mike's cousin was a regular poster and gave insights. This process has grown since then.

Wake has a bit of an uphill battle for some recruits. It would be nice if posters acted at least as maturely a HS kids.
 
RJ stop derailing this thread please unless you'd like to go back to timeout. I think your thoughts on recruits reading the boards/etc are well enough known at this point.. you don't need to re-hash them everytime someone takes a dig at a current player.

Hold other people accountable.

My bad, I'm not allowed to voice an opinion if it differs.

Got it.

Hold other people accountable? They posted their opinions on why the Neath connection might not be a positive (honestly in a pretty subtle way) and you got on and attacked them with the same argument you've re-hashed here a million times.
 
I'm sorry I used actual facts that were posted by a person directly involved with the highest ranked people Wake has had a legitimate shot at landing in the last thirty years. EC told us what happens, how it impacts top guys and it has gotten worse.

Sorry, if I want Wake to have the best chance at being successful and used facts not opinions.

But there's no sense in going farther here. It's your world.
 
Maybe Boakye should look at what happened to Sarr by going to KY.

https://kentuckysportsradio.com/main...y-recruitment/

"“One of his [Boakye’s] main goals is to get to the NBA and to star in his freshman year,” Boakye’s head coach George Aramide told KSR. “He just wants to go to a place where he has opportunity to compete, to play right away.”

That should be the focus of our entire recruiting pitch. Too bad he can't get calls from Tim and CP3. That could help.

Maybe we should hire Tim as Zoom coach. :)

*further...FIFY
 
Agree with others that have posted that we have a really solid group of players and are missing a few pieces. I've been really critical of Mucius, Massoud and Neath (largely because they should be leading our team, but have largely been disappointments...especially on defense), but if Mucius or Massoud could embrace their roles and we could add a really talented big...we will be hell to deal with in two years.
