    NIT 2024: Next in a Long Line of Basketball Disappointments

    Worthy of a class action law suit to get your ticket price back😵‍💫

    GT Game Thread

    Feel bad for the defense. Our offense is completely unsuited for a short, inexperienced, turnover prone QB. This L is on Clawson and Ruggiero

    MBB Game 14: WF @ Miami - Saturday 6 pm - ESPNU

    I should have said Alondes looks unmotivated on the defensive end. Where’s the pride in locking down the one opposing player who is basically killing your team’s chance of stealing a conference road win. Overall, an underwhelming defensive effort overall. Can’t pull yourself back from an early...

    MBB Game 14: WF @ Miami - Saturday 6 pm - ESPNU

    Williams loafing on D. His man is Wong, who is getting to the paint at will

    2021 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

    Events of the last couple of weeks have (IMHO) clearly reinforced how savvy Currie was to move on from Manning last year. Given all the high profile programs making changes this year, you have to think that Forbes more likely than not would have had better and higher profile programs knocking on...

    WFU Hoops: '21-'22 Roster Construction Thread: +LaRavia/Taylor/Walton/Monsanto/Williams/Sy/Marsh

    I seem to recall he had a parent pass away a some point in the past 9 months. Perhaps he simply wants to play closer to his family.

    WFU Hoops: '21-'22 Roster Construction Thread: +LaRavia/Taylor/Walton/Monsanto/Williams/Sy/Marsh

    With admittedly no basketball coaching experience and no in-person observation of any team members or games this year, my take is as follows: Post-grads: Would be OK with me if they all moved on, as they only delay younger players getting experience and improving, Dubose is the only one I would...

    Wake Forest Basketball Recruiting: Juke Harris Commits!!

    Alden Applewhite, 6'7 top 150 senior out of Arizona announcing between us, Clemson, Mississippi State, Iowa State, (and a fifth suitor I can't remember) on his birthday this coming Thursday. Anyone have any vibes about our chances?

    Duke Basketball Report on Forbes

    While I despise K and all the poorly behaving Duke fans as much as everyone else on the boards, I actually find the Duke Basketball Report website fairly informative overall about current ACC basketball (with the added benefit of snarky comments about Royboy and the Tarholes):bowrofl: They...

    Hatch retiring?

    I have it from a pretty reliable source at the med school that the Atrium-WF Baptist-WFUSOM merger (that went official within the past 72 hours) includes $5 billion (with a b) of Atrium funds going into the WFU endowment. So this timing seems right. COVID going reasonably OK on the undergrad...

    Wake Forest Basketball Recruiting: Juke Harris Commits!!

    Agree with this. Forbes is a face-to-face relationship guy, a strength that is very difficult to project via Zoom calls (particularly when you are relatively "late to the party" with most top recruits relative to other schools who have been recruiting such players for a year or more). Given...

    Coach Forbes' Wake e-mail address

    Does anyone know Coach Forbes' Wake e-mail address. I work at the Medical Center, but couldn't find it when I did a e-mail search there.

    Wake Forest Basketball Recruiting: Juke Harris Commits!!

    While this year's recruiting class may fall short of what all of us would all like, I am very encouraged that Forbes and staff are competing for top 150 talent despite all the barriers they face: (1) the late hiring on 4/30, (2) all the COVID restrictions for in-person evaluations, campus...

    Sage Surratts is out

    Makes me wonder whether last year's VT shoulder injury (for which everyone has been very tight lipped about) is perhaps continuing to be sufficiently problematic such that it might hurt his performance (and potential draft status) should play actually occur this fall. That said, he seems like...
