Dinos doesn't need to start (and shouldn't) if we get decent shooting from our 2 and 3.

Both Moore and Collins should start this game if for no other reason than getting them used to the bright lights. Dinos, on occasion, hits big shots, but I don't think he can start in the ACC. He'll get plenty of time and would be a great weapon off the bench.

That appears to be the way Manning works, but it's clear the older guys just can't bring with the lights on. Certain players are like that. Not excusing it, but given that we were in an 11 game slide I think he should have tried a different tactic. Mentioned this in another thread, but Collins...

Dinos is the most disappointing player this season for me. He's weak with the ball and way too streaky. His defense remains non-existant and I don't think that's ever going to change. Collins needs as much experience as possible even if it means he fouls out in the first half.

It's remarkable to me that we could go 1-10 and not, at least, tinker with the starting line up. Dinos, Wilbekin and CMM are not starter level in the ACC. Might as well get Collins ready now. He may be out in 3 mins with foul trouble but maybe it lights a fire in Dinos. Consistency is not our...

So what exactly happened that confirmed Harry is no longer considering us? I've read through the last twenty pages and all I can gather is that a few guys who run a blog say it's over. For the record I like the blog, but hasn't the biggest complaint around here for years been that no one has...

The article from Zags sounds less than optimistic for us. Even his coach thinks Duke is the spot...hope to God he's wrong. http://zagsblog.com/articles/college-decision-coming-to-a-head-for-harry-giles-coach-says/#more-141922

Has anyone seen Childress play? All the online stuff I've watched shows that he's got a tight handle and legit range. I assume he's faced off against some serious talent and even though he's an early wake commit if he were tearing it up I still feel like analysts would boost his rankings. Any...

I actually think if Harry came we could be pretty good. Could play a very big athletic, line up with decent size off the bench. Crawford, Woods, Crab, Harry, Dinos. If Manning improves our D that's a solid squad. Once Harry leaves we'll take a step back, but I don't think sliding Moore or...

None, but I think we all hoped that with the hiring of Manning that CP and the rest of the NBA alums could pay dividends. I'm not saying CP will be able to sway Giles one way or another, but this is the first opportunity where we have a local kid and superstar who CP has regular contact with. If...

Eh. I'd like to think that our biggest alum is our cheerleader and, despite having a good experience with K, still wants the best player in the country to attend his alma mater. I'm sure he's telling Harry to follow his gut, but to insinuate that CP is somehow conflicted between K and Wake seems...

For the conspiracy theorists, I saw on instagram that Harry Giles got a new pair of Jordan 6's custom made by a company called ABCustomz. The colors? Gold and Black...not sure how to embed, but here's a link. http://websta.me/p/1023530334212628088_655966318

I'm not sure Rawle's realistic judging by the below. Sterling Gibbs would be a huge pick up. Head butt was stupid but he's supposedly a really good kid. http://zagsblog.com/articles/recruiting-roundup-v-j-king-malik-monk-rawle-alkins-bruce-brown/#more-133921 Alkins said he plans to commit in...

If this wasn't his choice then I think it's pretty weak on ESPN's part. Sure he's annoying and kisses the blue blood ring, but he's also been a great advocate for the game on many levels aside from just broadcast. It's clear that the guy doesn't have many games left. He should go out on his own...

I didn't say he was wrong I just don't think it was as simplistic as stated. Moto was one of our better players I doubt he would push him out if the kid simply asked for a chance to play the 3. I don't think Manning is that dumb. Could be that Moto wanted assurances which Manning refused.

Not at all. He's clearly trying to impress people with his numbers and draft potential. He goes overboard. I get it. He's lame, but the guy has always seemed to support Wake and I would think we'd want him to make the league. It's a bit like Travis McKie--he got a lot of hate for dogging it, but...

This seems odd to me. Wouldn't Manning have simply said, "Sure. Work on your ballhandling and jumper and I'll let you compete for the job." Our threes are Rountree and Gmac. It's not like we're stacked at the 3. I know people have claimed Gmac looks good, but so did Cam Stanley and Steve Lepore...

I get that Harris never lived up to his promise, but there is a lot of hate for a guy that suffered through what I think everyone recognizes as subpar coaching. Oline was dreadful and so was the play-calling. I don't recall him throwing other players under the bus--when did that happen? I know...

I seem to recall him having the best motor his fresh and sophomore year. He also used to talk about recruiting for Wake all the time and really seemed to want to do great things even as a third option. Do you think the fact that his whole class transferred may have sapped that enthusiasm which...

Probably our best post defender and best athlete. Regardless of whether he becomes a force he is an ACC player and we can't afford to lose those. Always got the sense that he wasn't as tight with rest of the sophs, but he seemed like a good kid who gave great effort, never pouted and never shat...
