I hope you're right, Eamonn.Wake Forest
Best case: For all the Sturm und Drang surrounding coach Jeff [Redacted] and athletic director Ron Wellman -- a good deal of it justified -- the Demon Deacons did improve last season. That improvement didn't show up in the win-loss record, but given [Redacted]'s first two seasons (in which Wake ranked outside the Pomeroy top 200), the jump up to No. 132 last season, and the few promising wins that came with it, was at least a step in the right direction. Forward Travis McKie will be the senior next season; all other contributors of note (as Wellman is fond of pointing out) were freshmen last year. In a general way, that might set Wake up for a collective jump this season, even if a tournament bid still feels like a long way off.
Worst case: Wellman has been steadfast in support of [Redacted], but the fact that he felt compelled to announce [Redacted]'s return this season should serve as a pretty big hint of what will happen if the Deacons don't noticeably improve in Year 4. Another hopeless year and the [Redacted] experiment is probably over. For many Wake fans, that doesn't sound like a worst-case scenario.
