A 6'11, 250 center should do better than 8.9/3.5 as a senior. His NCAA numbers at OR were - 3/3; 4/1 and 3/0.
He grossly underachieved in college. Of course, PH said Ish was never an ACC quality player.
Congrats to the coaching staff for setting their recruiting goals for highly ranked players. We certainly haven't had that "mojo" for a few years. At this point I think it's only fair to give coach Manning some time to change what's been happening at Wake for a few years. As we should remember, recruiting stars don't necessarily guarantee success ( hello Tony Woods and Ty Walker). So relax, enjoy watching Danny get his feet wet coaching this year. It won't always be pretty, be it will be a breath of fresh air, and a return to hope for the future. Thanks again guys! Go Deacs !
Just to support Strickland's initial point:
From 2006-2010 there were 18 centers that fell within 15 spots of Tony Woods' position (#41) in RSCI's final rankings. The average peak season per game averages for those 18 centers were 9.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. Their average height and weight were 6 feet 11.16 inches and 246.56 pounds respectively.
Tony Woods had an average career for a big man ranked between 26 and 56 coming out of college. It is a gross misstatement to say that he "grossly underachieved" in college. Of course, PH has nothing to do with this.

Except Tony averaged 6 ppg and 3.2 rpg for his career. Those numbers are 50% BELOW the per game averages of those centers.
Here are the REAL nuimbers http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/41040/tony-woods
His peak season was 8.9 ppg vs. an average of 9.1 ppg. His peak rebounds per game was lower than average, but his peak scoring output was right there with the people he was ranked with

His PEAK scoring approximated the average of what the other centers AVERAGED for their careers. I can't believe you don't see the weakness in that.
His PEAK rebounding was 49% BELOW the average for that group.
Using the numbers Strickland provided, there's no way around the fact that Tony's CAREER was much less than the AVERAGE of those players.

Did you read what strick posted? He didn't say the career average was 9.1 ppg, he said that the peak season was 9.1 ppg.
