Now that the season and exams are over, I thought everyone might appreciate an update on our basketball staff. For about a week after ACC tournament, Bz seriously considered leaving. The negative publicity and stresses of the job had beaten him down. He was all but gone, and was talked into...

2011 - There are rumors that theres still a postgrad on our radar for 2011. I have been unable to get a name, and one source says there isn’t actually a guy left that makes sense for us. So either that’s the truth or the staff wants to keep things VERY close to the vest. - Ola Ashaolu...

Just got word. He called Coach [Redacted] earlier this afternoon.

Not too much today, but a few interesting tidbits... Eric Katenda, a 2011 forward, is set to announce his decision this afternoon. It's between us and Notre Dame, and to a lesser degree, Iowa. It was relayed to me that while our staff hasn't heard anything definite yet, "they aren't optimistic"...

2011 - Eric Katenda is at Notre Dame this weekend. It seems like Iowa is out of the picture. I expect him to make his decision in the next week or so. The longer he waits, the better our chances. The closer to Sunday, the better Notre Dame’s. - Everyone I talked to at Wake and in Winston is...

First I have nothing new on the Jeff Battle situation, though I stand by my statement that Ill be suprised if he stays. That said, the only opinion that really matters here is his son's. Theres been a lot of back and forth here about Coach Battle's relationship with Coach [Redacted]. There is a...

The Eric Katenda visit occurred last week. A source told me it went well, but likely not well enough. Although he has expressed concerns in the media and to the coaches about playing to much inside, we told him hed still be able to do his thing with T. McKie, and used James Johnson/Aminu as an...

Eric Katenda arrives to Winston today. He's our no. 1 remaining 2011 taget. I originally was told that Travis Mckie was hosting him but now another person told me Tony Chennault. Either way, people close to the program feel good about this. If Katenda leaves without committing though, that...

This is my first basketball recruiting update for the Old Gold and Black Boards. I'll try and do this every week no matter how much or how little information is available to post. - Lekan Ajayi, the 6'9, 245-lbs Center from Winston is not interested in Wake but our coaches aren't taking no for...

This is probably old news to most but Ari will not be with the Wake program next year. This isn't totally his doing, as its been made clear to him that he should explore his options. Your guess is as good as mine as to where he'll go next year, but a SEC school or Conference USA seems likely at...

while he was our only offer last April he wasn't our first choice. Overtures were sent to Brad Stevens, Steve Alford and to a lesser extent Tubby Smith. All were quickly and politely declined. Some close to the situation feel that RW panicked after these initial overtures were declined fearing...
