Quick reminder about Wake's transfer policies as an institution (as this thread kicks into high gear): - Students must have 60 credit hours from Wake Forest to graduate with an undergraduate degree. That means (essentially) that student-athletes must have at least two years of eligibility left...

Wake Forest requires students to have at least 60 credit hours taken at Wake Forest in order to graduate with a Wake Forest undergraduate degree (which is public knowledge... it's on the Registrar's website for transfer students). My understanding is that third- or fourth-year athletes that...

Winning 6 games is one thing, a winning record in conference is another, and you've somewhat moved the goalposts here. I do agree that with the systemic advantages for ACC schools comparatively that we should be looking at 3-4 wins OOC every season (the curse of the ND scheduling agreement, I...

We've also only had 10 winning ACC seasons ever in 70+ years. 1959: 4-3 1964: 4-3 1970: 5-1 1979: 4-2 1987: 4-3 1988: 4-3 2006: 6-2 2007: 5-3 2011: 5-3 2021: 7-1 Having sustained success at Wake Forest in football is really fucking hard. Jim Grobe and Bill Dooley are the only coaches to manage...

I'm not sure they ever actually did either, but that set of players would be the only possibility as an answer to the question.

In the post-2000 era, we've had four consensus-ish 5 star recruits that I can think of: Chris Paul, Al Farouq-Aminu, Ty Walker, and Jaylen Hoard. For pre-2000, I think the list is basically Rodney Rogers and Loren Woods. So... AFA/Walker I think is the answer to this little nugget (for what...

This is correct, and really my point was that all of these factors are decided by decision-makers at the university that aren't the Admissions Office. (They are by and large faculty and/or accreditation issues.)

Not an Admissions issue. Course credits transferring is a Registrar + faculty issue.

The women were a consistent top 15 team during the Stengel/Bledsoe days, including some time spent in the top 5; they had a College Cup appearance and finished the season ranked 4th in 2011. I think they've gotten into the 10-15 range a few times since.

I have no reason to doubt you, but that seems like an imperfect system. Any system that gives weight to the USNWR ranking at all seems highly, highly flawed. Not saying it's not real. Higher ed administrators have their own biases and whatnot, as do admissions professionals. Graduate programs...

I doubt many graduate programs care too much about the ranking of a school when compared to the body of work that an individual applicant produced at an undergraduate level. Wake students should still have a hefty advantage comparatively based on the overall institutional resources filtered...

At the risk of potentially doxxing myself, I'll chime in here really quickly. For context, I am a current staff member at the University who grew up in a Wake family. My current position is one that will be directly impacted by the change in the USNWR ranking (you can assume of that what you...

We really miss Hosei Kojima. Getting Cooper Flax back will help, but a big part of our issues have been CM-related (playing through the press and instituting our own midfield press). The fall in the rankings is overdramatic; we're probably a #15-25 team right now (who has just played a bunch...

Counterpoint: we've had maybe a combined 40 minutes this season from our only preseason all-ACC player (Omar), we've played one of our most electric attacking talents minimally for fear of injury recurrence (Babacar), and our best playmaker from last year is going to miss the entire season...

So, for those of you that didn't watch, the ESPN streaming service will have a replay for the next week (and you should watch). In addition to the 6 goals, we: hit the crossbar once fluffed at least one 1v1 had a fairly clear-cut penalty denied Clemson probably should've scored in the first...
