Forbes is doing a great job since last summer we thought we would probably have:
It's relatively unreasonable to be critical of high school recruiting when we're offering $0.00 and other schools are offering significantly more than $0.00. Yes, other schools have found more hidden gems like Pedulla at Virginia Tech, but I think Bobi is that type of hidden gem for us and will be a very good ACC player over the next couple years. I think we have a really good chance at landing Juke Harris despite him being a guy some schools will be willing to throw some significant cash at, and if we pull that off it would be pretty incredible from the staff.
I can agree with just about all of this. Also it’s okay to think Forbes is a good coach and also be disappointed when we play like absolute shit against awful teams like GT.
Laying eggs isn't unique to Forbes or Wake, but it's a frustrating trend for sure. The biggest issue coaching wise this year for me is us allowing teams to claw back into games late in the second half. I understand that we're asking our PG to play hard for 40 minutes every game and have a short bench and that leads to fatigue down the stretch, but I really would like to see us slam the door in games like LSU, LMU, UNC, etc. where we had nice leads and either blew them entirely or let a team make it close.
Not all that different imo. I just don't think he's pushed the right buttons just yet to have that high quality consistency. He's trying and those occasional comebacks and wins, to me, show me he's capable.
Which guys playing a lot for Wake have two or more years with Wake's S & C?
Yeah. Not arguing with that, but these guys can’t hope to match up with bigger dudes. Also. It’s not like these guys are 18 years old and just graduated from high school. They just have small frames and don’t add enough muscle or they need yet another year in the weight room.
