Shaka would would get us back to being a top-8 ACC team and making the tourney every season, while making a run at winning conference every couple of years. I'll give him 1 throwaway season and then it's on.
It has to be appealing to him to be a young guy in the best conference in America, where only UVA, NC State, UL and to a lesser extend ND(Brey is 18 years older than Shaka) look to have long term coaches in place. Cuse, Duke, UNC, Miami and FSU are about to have their old as dirt coaches phase out. Reading the tea leaves, VPI will most likely lose Buzz, and I'm not too worried about Shaka being able to out coach Brownell, Christian, Capel and Pastner( if he doesn't get the boot for cheating).
Shaka makes so much sense for us right now. He can easily stay at Wake and make us the less douchey Duke for the next 25 years.
