Basham, Surratt, Hartman and Kern return

Not sure there's a more hollow argument than "he stayed 4 years." It's not like you expect every player you redshirt to ditch you for their senior year of eligibility if they get really good.

No one has said EVERY player. He lived up to his obligation.

Being upset with him is being selfish. There is no difference between him moving on to anyone leaving a company who gave them their first job to take another job that you think will better your future.
 
And I've talked to two Deac football players from the 70s who have no problem with Jamie moving on.

The only people who think this move will significantly improve Newman's future are LOWF losers like you.

STFU asshole. It's not what I think. It what Jamie and his family think.

You are a total hypocrite. You support our basketball program trying to sign grad transfers if you think he'll help us, but if if it's Jamie leaving, he's a traitor.

No, you are a selfish asshole as you have been since your first day on a Wake board.

And what will improve Wake's football fortunes will be sending its best players to the NFL or having them stick around for their senior season's, not transfer to the BigTime !

That’s the new reality. Coaches need to figure it out. You could lose your best players in 3 or 4 years even if you recently figured out how good they are.

Clawson and other P5 coaches are trying to poach the best players from G5 programs.

Reality TV star, Tyler Cameron, just took a shit on the whole Wake fanbase. FAU must’ve been electric every weekend.

He’s the most well known Wake QB. He got on the big stage. It’s why Biff shits on Wake football in favor of UGA. It’s a challenge for Currie and Clawson to step up.

There there, millennial.

It seems there are four or more groups of people who have weighed in on this. First are the wfu22fan psychos who are comparing Newman to Benedict Arnold and freaking out over his BETRAYAL of the program. Those people would indeed be hypocrites if they supported grad transfers.

Second are the people who view WF as a destination, not a stepping-stone, and think that our players can succeed at the highest level and turn into pro prospects here, ala Aaron Curry, Kevin Johnson, or, since you want to change sports, Tim Duncan. It would make perfect sense for these people to want our basketball program to bring in grad transfers, because we perceive WF as a destination school that athletes should want to attend. However, I would still not expect fans of the grad transfer's former school to clap like a seal for a player who used their program as a stepping stone.

Third are the LOWF losers who take the opposite view: we are a stepping stone, not a destination, and if an athlete really, really wants to succeed, he needs to move on to a bigger and better school instead of staying at LOWF. The people comparing Newman's move to moving on to a "better" job or "better" grad school fit into this category. People in category 2 reject the premise.

Fourth are the Wellmanites like RJ, Natty O, and all the other losers who have polluted our AD for so long. Not only do they have the LOWF attitude from category 3, but they also wring their hands and clutch their pearls over the abhorrent lack of sportsmanship being displayed by our fanbase in daring to criticize Newman. It's SELFISH and JEALOUS and they just don't have the COURAGE to do what Newman did! How dare they want to win games instead of being HAPPY for Newman's good fortune? Presumably, they would be even happier if Basham and Greer and Surratt and Hartman and Tom and Walker all transferred to "better" programs too and we won 2 games next year.

People like RJ have been holding back our AD for decades. I pray that Currie doesn't have the same attitude as RJ and Wellman and can break out of their LOWF loserdom. We need an AD who views Wake as a destination program and who values winning games over being a good sport to someone who leaves our program to bolster a competitor.
 
Oh boy

Bad look for a dude who had to transfer to fucking FAU and switch from QB to tight end to ever see real playing time.
 
They were on the team together. They overlapped. He threw Camp balls in practice.

Nobody cares about his time at Wake and FAU except us. He’s a celebrity now.

“Celebrity”

Without Dave Clawson & Co. (Ruggerio, etc.) Jamie Newman would not ever have enrolled at Georgia. The Mit Shah's, Sutton's, McCreary's and many, many others have much to brag about quite frankly. It was the WF program that realized Newman's potential and developed it. Kirby Smart didn't. Dabo Swinney didn't. Dave Doeren didn't.

The next time a kid who has been developed at WF hears from an agent or pro scout about taking their talents elsewhere while holding a starting position at WF, never forget the Coach who will be your loudest and best voice to the NFL scouts when it really matters: Dave Clawson.
