Then you make them up and we'll compare. I feel like I am one of the people here trying to look at this from the person who is most important/responsible: Wellman. Most everyone else seem to me to look at this from fanboy's perspective, which reads: Whaaaa, whaaaaa, whaaaa. This sucks!
Everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too. We used to wax on about how special Wake Forest was. We didn't cut corners. Student athletes in an era of Florida and Miami and Florida State etc.... But we also want to win. Powerful people within the leadership of Wake Forest and I would guess above Wellman determined that we were leaking away from that slowly from one to the next. Tabb, JTT, Woods, Ari, Walker, Teague, Johnson - they all happened slowly. None are bad people, and for me Johnson should almost be excluded, but Teague and Johnson begat Aminu, Woods and Walker, begat Ari begat Tabb and JTT.
If as a university you are gonna cut that leak, then I would bet a lot of money, as long as the guy you hire to do it stays morally above the fray, you give him a nice long leash to get it done.
That's really the reality. Three years is not that long, and though I don't think bzd is the cure all for the basketball program and I would be surprised he was on the sidelines the next time we are in a Sweet 16 game, I pretty much expect him to meet expectations next year. It's the fourth year I don't. And I only hope Wellman has set the same 4th year expectation as I have. That's probably the year that fan enthusiasm becomes a much bigger variable.
