Chris Webber joining Wake faculty

[qcdeac]

One of the best big men passers and ball handlers in his generation of players, but his teams often found ways to lose in a heart-breaking fashion.

OK, NOW the hire makes sense.

I mean cmon, Danny Manning and Chris webber?!?!! What is Giles doing? You think freaking sheyerface can teach you a dropstep?????

 

[JManslow]

Gonna need keeper's take

 

[Neurodeac]

If all these horrible puns don't stop, the moderators will have to give some of you a time out.

 

[TheReff]

Gonna need keeper's take

Even Wake Forest will find a way to make this class hard!

 

[BarcaDeac]

I believe the name is Christine Webber, seen it on the boards. Believe they played for the Queens if I'm not mistaken.

Next we'll hear that Shaq, "The Big Aristotle", will be teaching a philosophy class.

 

[wfu22fan]

Can he play pickup with the team in the off season ? Work with Harry, Doral and other bigs?

 

[deaconbd]

I remember Webber visited with Rodney Rogers a couple years back but don't know the extent of their friendship.

 

[PhDeac]

I assume IrishSlim has already contacted Professor Webber to see if has a TA spot available.

 

[rjequalsmj]

Would a 42 yo C-Webb with 1 functioning leg start for the deacs this year? We'd have to play a really slow pace but he could stand at the elbow and run the offense.

 

[NewBernDeac]

Whoa whoa whoa stop the clock.

Seriously...

As a wake grad I'm embarrassed to have complained to dukies about one and done

 

[deaconhoops]

Will the class be offered in a hot tub?

 

[sailordeac]

Is Wellman gonna teach a class in IIRC hysterical contemptibility, or was it historical competitiveness?

 

[deacsrus]

This better be a recruiting tool...if not, you can fill in the rest.

 

[NewBernDeac]

Whoa whoa whoa stop the clock.

Hey it's a two year master degree - seriously. There is lot to tell.

that's what i said. why are you getting on my case?

 

[ReplacementDeac]

recruiting tool aside, it's still pretty cool. my first thought was it more about pandering to Bill Simmons wannabes on the heels of the popularity of the 30 for 30s, grantland, players tribune, etc.

Exactly. It's a hot industry. Getting a former elite athlete who is currently on the sports reporting side is a huge get.

 

[Deacon923]

He was such a cerebral player.
