Scouting growth plates??? Manning is playing chess while all the other fools are playing checkers.

...its important for us all to remember that the bowls pick their teams based on potential revenue and exposure. Wins and losses only serve to qualify their selection pool. To be honest, I don't think the Quick Lane Bowl or even the Birmingham Bowl would want Wake if they could avoid it...

Certainly plenty of match-ups next week that could shake up the top 25. Unfortunately many of the ranked teams who could potentially lose play an opponent who would jump us in the rankings with a win. I would love for us to crack the rankings by the end of the regular season but our goal should...

Why does everyone keep saying stuff like this? I'm really struggling to understand the logic....It's bad for the Deacs if Ayo likes a tweet about Wake because a few former Illinois targets liked tweets about the Illini before committing elsewhere??? That's lunacy Here is another...

Mehhh I'm not giving in yet...He clearly is drawn to both schools - let's see what he decides on Thursday. I agree that he probably wants to commit to Wake but external factors are still swaying his decision. Good news is that he's going to have one of those Disney movie moments tomorrow night...

In my opinion, the recruitment strategy changes for recruit of Ayo's caliber....The focus is narrowed in on the individual and what the school/facilities, coaches and team can do to help vault them to the next step in their playing career over the next 7-24 months (this is ironically something...

"Does Ayo want to be a catalyst in Helping bring the illini back to glory?" ...this sounds like us when discussing Giles.

Glad someone mentioned this cause I've been low key sorta worried....Kansas is one of Adidas flagship institutions. This is far from over. Many many more names will be implicated. I trust Danny and truly believe he is building our program the right way/steering us towards great things. It's...

Tony Bland was the USC assistant associated with the Scandal. Jason Hart is their lead recruiter on Ayo. That said, if it stinks like shit....

Interesting thread but it is a little misguided. 1) Every D1 school in the country depends on their Fball and MBB programs to float the rest of the department. I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that a single season of women's basketball at a P5 school is a certain $2.5M +/- loss for the...

Meehhhhhh - I'm not buying it. It would be different if Devoe was choosing between GT and Wisconsin, UCF vs Wake, etc....Orlando to ATL is approx 450 miles and Orlando to W-S is approx 600....Both drives sorta suck but you can get home if you need to. Propinquity seems like an extremely trivial...

Some of you guys are such downers. Utah State went 3-9 last season. They were throttled by Wisconsin in week 1 before they beat a shitty Idaho St. team (won 2 games in 16'). We should have higher expectations for our guys than what I'm reading. Disclaimer: I'm not saying Utah State is a gimme...

just looked we were +8.5 pt dogs to the Noles in 06'

Crappy QB play definitely opened the door for us but the 3 in a row streak was at the expense of Xavier Lee/Drew Weatherford and Christian Ponder correct? I feel like I remember Xavier Lee and Weatherford being the two best contributors for Wake in our 30-0 win in Tally
