Here's the irony in the Manning negotiations. According to the World, there appeared to be discussion suggesting some lowering of entrance requirements for incoming recruits.
This is common at every school and at every hire. The gate is discussed as either a detriment or a harsh reality at universities considered to be tougher than the average Land Grant U.
Wake is no different, but we know for a fact that Jeff [Redacted] was brought in, in part, to clean up the mess left behind by the recruiting adventures of Skip Prosser and Dino Gaudio.
We can assume the gate wasn't lowered for [Redacted]. In fact, it was raised.
So what happens when the next guy comes in? Is the school willing to lower its standards, even just a little, to get a key player here and there into the basketball program? Is that what Manning wants?
Schools like to pretend they are bastions of higher learning even inside athletics departments. But we know how that works, especially when it comes to football, basketball and to a lesser extent, baseball and women's basketball.
