Along with 50-60 others, attended last night's meet and greet.
I'll make this brief....
Jeff ( I've tired of the Buzz crap ) spoke. Nothing really knew except that he's VERY high on the incoming PG and all but guaranteed that the incoming 7-footer will red-shirt. " still gowing vertically and needs to start growing laterally " was his comment. He was asked and answered the usual questions on the transfers. I got the impression that this particular small crowd ( several big-bucks types in attendance ) didn't expect much last season but were concerned about 2 of the 3 transfers post season.
Wellman also spoke. Wasn't taking notes so I may have some of this stuff out of 'to do' order....
1) Permanent ( 6,000-seat ? ) tennis stadium to be built this summer. Wake to host NCAA Tennis Championships soon as well the pro circuit annually.
2) Baseball stadium to get black & gold seats next Winter and something he termed 'student party decks' (?).
3) Expanded ( 3-4 story ) Reynolds addition over Leighton which will be leveled. I believe he said there'd be a new/larger pool in there with the existing outdated pool being eliminated. Building being referred to as the 'Student Rec Center'.
4) New locker rooms in Bridger coming ( I missed the timetable for this ).
Unless I missed it, no mention/update on the purchase of Joel.
BTW, someone there mentioned in passing that Ron & Jeff flew up from W-S and returned last night via either a NetJets deal or on some well-healed Deac's private jet. Anyone with any intel on this ?
