This isn't football. There is absolutely no reason why Forbes can't win a championship at Wake. If Gonzaga and Villanova can, you can at an ACC school.
well, Gonzaga hasn't yet
I misremembered that. Anyway, they are clearly capable of it.
The point is, Forbes does not need to leave Wake Forest to have a legitimate chance to win a championship. I would tend to agree that Dave Clawson does.
Just read Jon Rothstein’s mid-season All American teams. He lists three teams and 5 honorable mentions and no Alondes. I’d like to believe if Alondes maintains what he has done thus far, the recognition will eventually come.
If Wake gets ranked and we make a run down the stretch here, Alondes is going to start getting a lot of attention nationally. 20/5/5 is elite, but kind of hidden on an unranked team who hasn’t been relevant in a long time.
Wake needs at least one more "statement" game. The win over Cheater Hill was good, but Wake needs more. Another squeaker over 'cuse won't be it.
The Forbes effect.

Just keep winning and the accolades will come. While we are all incredibly supportive and want Alondes and others to garner the recognition we know they deserve, there are potential downsides with getting overblown and sometimes it is better to fly slightly under the radar. NBA scouts know what is up and they find the top talent wherever it resides.
