Sarr and Hoard will have to be John Collins good for us to have a good season.
Fixed it for you.

If they felt good about the team, why is the schedule so shitty?
My source tells me the staff feels really good about the roster this year, i dont see it, i doubt we win 14 games.
I get the impression from reading the tea leaves of a different source that there were serious personality issues on the team last year that impacted the team. Seemingly a much more positive team this year.
My source is telling me Caleb Mills to UNC.
I love vagaries about team chemistry.
Why can't someone just say Bryant Crawford and Doral Moore are self-serving assholes if that's what they heard.

I don't think it had much to do with Moore other than him leaving prematurely.
I don't think Moore was the problem. More likely Crawford and woods based on court body language and lack of hustle.

Losing creates issues that those in charge like to write off as personality issues...

To be fair, there is a chance that Wake will play UCF (projected to be #1 in American over Cincy & Wichita St), West Virginia, and Tennessee all away from home. The staff other than winning more games the prior year, has no control over being left out of the challenge. If Wake are to play those 3 listed opponents on top of 18 ACC games, the schedule is not going to be viewed as shitty by any measure.
Yeah, I am probably less anti-Manning than 90%+ of folks on here, but even I have to admit that any chemistry issues are his fault. I mean, this is his team and his program.
Having said that, I am still optimistic and excited about the upcoming season. I think there will be significant upside to very low board expectations.
The tough games are always tough. We rarely have a schedule without some tough games. The tough games you list include two maybes in a pre-season tournament where we aren't expected to be a contender and a contractual H&H with TN. What makes this year's schedule shitty is the level of cupcake we've chosen to fill out the schedule with outside of the contracts and pre-season tourney. They are games that are only scheduled when you have no expectations of being on the bubble. They are games that kill your RPI.
