For what it is worth, the problem with Juco's is not so much that our admissions standards are too high, it is that almost none of their credits will transfer over. That is why you don't really see many transfer into Wake (Athlete or otherwise.) While some classes will transfer, a lot of it...

Budd's plane just scheduled a flight plan to fly from Tulsa to Arlington tx. Give credibility to the claims he is going to Dallas today.

Do we know if his wife came with him? Depending on if she did, could impact on how quickly we get an answer.

For context, Swilling is the other player involved in the Todd O'brien case where the St. Joe coach wouldn't let him transfer to UAB http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/basketball/ncaa/12/19/todd.obrien/

I have my own issues with Wellman, and you can criticize him for a lot of things, but this isn't one of them. I can assure you Wellman isn't calling the shots on the academic/admissions side of things. President Hatch, the Faculty, and the BOT are (although I'm sure if you asked him he agrees...

This.

We also have the issue around Juco/Transfers as well that people forget about. Wake hardly takes any transfer credits from other schools (or any that cover divisionals at least), so there is a decent chance that any player that comes in will basically lose a year. Also, for what it's worth...

He coached at Clemson. He's seen our facilities and W-S before. There really wouldn't be much of a reason to visit.

When people throw out these $3mm-4mm figures, they do know that there are only like 7 or 8 coaches who earn over $3mm a year, and all but one have won a national title?

Especially since I am like 95% confident the reason he pursued the job was to be closer to her (If memory serves me correctly that is why he took both the AF and CU jobs as well)

Luckily for her, Bz wasn't hired until the end of her freshman year. So at least she got that fun freshman stuff in.

I'm not disagreeing with that point. Guys like Aminu and CP3 are exactly the type of guys we should be going after and we will need to become elite again. But both of those guys are also way more intelligent than a lot of the guys other schools take in. If you take a flyer on a five star guy...

Hate to break it to you, but at some level that is always going to be there. We just can't let in the same kind of kids that the big state schools can because of our tougher academics. They'll flunk out because we can't hide them the same way other schools can (I'm looking at you UNC) because...

You've been waiting?

Free Biscuitville should be enough to seal the deal on it's own.
