Uconn is a strange team. Any of their top 7-8 guys can be the star for a given game They really don't rely on any specific guy. Foul trouble or a poor shooting night from someone has almost no impact on them. Their defense and intensity is always there. That will wear you down in the...

This kid will get over a million to transfer. If Uconn wants him they will get him based on who else is mentioned. Uconn entire starting 5 is likely leaving.

Uconn plays football and half their hoops games in Hartford which is 30 min from campus. It does not work well for football but hoops easily sells out and kids take buses. Basically if you are going to make it harder on students to get to games you better be winning.

The max upside is probably the gonzaga type route. Coach up that next tier of hs players and get them to stay and build a program for 4 years. Mix in as many portal guys that you can. Guys moving up the ladder. But turning over the whole roster with top portal guys can work for a uconn...

The unfortunate part is who would wake replace forbes with? Wake and the acc is no longer the draw that it was 30 years ago. Wakes target coach is always going to be the mid major guy moving up the ladder. Kind of like football. Come next season, Wake hoops has one tourney appearance in 10...

If that is the way they plan to fundraise to keep a basketball program going they will never be a top competitive program again. That is peanuts. But that is the dilema for all the smaller private schools. Not sure the NIL system can ever be viable for the wake forest, Villanova type schools...

You cant go 1 on 3 every time and keep expecting the call every time And you have to be able to stop one guy plowing his way in every time. They weren't even helping.

Wow. I know it changes next year Today could be the biggest proof ever that fsu clemson etc need to leave the acc. Undefeated champ getting left out. Conference is just not respected in football.

It is the same cycle Wake always runs into. New coach has some good years. Clawson had a gimmick offense, solid wr. and a really good QB to run it. I would guess that gimmick offense becomes easier to stop the more teams see it and now we mostly play straight up and we don't have the talent...

We simply don't have enough talent to compete It is going to be a long road back for the deacs and NIL doesn't help their chances. That being said ND is their normal overrated self. They are not a top team. Sam had to go and made out great from NIL but he has been a disappointment for ND...

Yeah this is silly. Clawson obviously earned a least 2-3 more years before panic talk happens. But wake recruiting seems to spiral sometimes when the record starts to decline under a coach. The team right now simply isn't very talented in relation to the league. And Clawson cant go to the...

The slow mesh gimmick offense either has been figured out or Hartman is the only one that can run it effectively. Everyone has seen it enough and can stop it. It is pretty useless right now. And we aren't big enough or good enough to beat people straight up.

Any grad school in the country that you ever apply too the rest of your life?? You cant get into a masters teaching program in my state with under a 3.0.

This thread is a good example of changing times. 80K at a private school or less than 20K out of state with good numbers at an Alabama or Florida St type school. Sure Wake may be better academically but a 3.5 at Alabama trumps a 2.8 at Wake any day of the week in terms of grad school or the...

I think colleges have becomes their own worst enemy. The non stop building and spending money has gotten college tuition to out of control levels. Even people with the means to pay are now asking themselves if 4 years studying English, political science, or literature is worth 325K of after...

Class size is a help to some kids but not all kids will care about that. My daughter goes to a large state school and her upper level classes in her major are all small classes. Having small classes for liberal arts core classes like history and philosophy is nice but it isn't going to have...

I don't think most wake grads struggle financially. But you have a lot of wake grads who never needed to work much. You have plenty of Wake grads who got married had kids and never worked. That all factors in. And I do think there are plenty of kids everywhere pay the price for majoring in...

It is definitely a marketing issue. And it certainly wont change anything in the next few years. But several years in the 50s instead of the 20s will drop applications for sure. Why would the top student pay more for Wake when it is ranked behind or the same as much cheaper options at UNC...

The top private schools are economic blind and many are no loan schools now Wake isn't there. Wake doesn't have the endowment for that. Normal financial aid misses any family making over 100K but many of those normal families still aren't able to afford to pay 80K per year for wake. And...

But Wake being ranked academically behind Rutgers, Maryland, Ohio State, Purdue, and roughly same as Florida State, Texas A&M, Nc State seems very strange. We are like 8-9th academically in the ACC now. It will probably hurt applications in the long run.
