Wake has been rejected by every target we took aim at above Manning, with the possible exception of Shaka who nobody knows for sure. I don't see what's LOWF about the hire given we took aim at our top targets and missed.
The only top target I'm convinced we truly took aim at and missed on is Shaka. I think we probably offered him the maximum amount we could and he said no. My guess is with other targets floated (Mack, Miller, etc.) Wellman made an offer that would have flown in 2007 or maybe even 2010 but that is not an appropriate offer given the current landscape of College Basketball and our relative position in that landscape.
Wellman chose to pay a little over a million for a lottery ticket rather than double that for someone much closer to a sure thing.
