led Oregon in scoring last night.
I watched the game. He's just not that good. I don't know how a player with his size and mobility has failed to improve at all, but he looks about the same as he did against Texas in 2009... That is to say, solid, but hardly a former top-50 prospect and definitely nowhere near the player he was reputed to be in high school.
This isn't meant to be a knock against Tony, but I just don't think he's that good.

He scores on followups and layups.....
Tony Woods is terrible. End of story. Bricks for hands, no moves, constantly traveled and picked up his pivot foot, below avg FT shooter...not good
I don't disagree with the University's decision about him having to go, and I don't disagree with you that he's not that good. However, he's still a hell of a lot better low post player than anyone else we have right now at low post. I am proud of the University that they made the tough decision with integrity.
I am not picking on you 76, I really am not. However, it is inaccurate to say that the University let him go. They did not. It gets repeated and folks start to believe it. Tony was suspended for a semester and would have been allowed to request reinstatement. He had options and made the decision to leave for several reasons. It was a good decision IMO.
A certain slow guy named Tyler was all-american at Carolina pretty much recently for his followups and layups. Woods certainly wasn't him, but the Deacs need someone to get them, especially at the rate we missed layups last night that Loyola rebounded.

I stand my belief that Wake should not offer schollys to any kid in any sport that is already a parent. Just shouldn't do it. Being a student athlete is hard enough at Wake. Add the stresses of baby or toddler and a possibly murky commitment to the mother ... just not a stew that usually produces focused performances in sport or probably classroom.
Go to Clemson, Georgia, West Virginia. If you think you have a shot at making money at your sport, get an easier education somewhere. Don't go to Wake. It's a mistake for all parties.
I know Rusty was a parent while at Wake, but he didn't COME IN TO SCHOOL a parent and he got married while in school (I think) before he started to bum rush life and get started on being a parent 5-10 years before he probably should have (what's the freakin rush?)
If I am not mistaken there are no current parents on our current hoops roster ...
