[MACdeac]

So he leveraged Wake's offer to get a raise and stay put... awesome.

Something like that. Hard to say for sure, but I think Roy Bean's post on Scout indicates that Mike Reed contacted us first.

Checking again on the Spring practice schedule. Any news anyone???
If nothing happens this week, then practice won't start until 3/20 (probably) after Spring Break. There will also be a break over Easter Weekend.
Bottom line, the 15 practices days will have to be crammed together or the Spring Game will have to be pushed back.

In that case, jackass.

I'm almost positive practice will start tomorrow.

@footballscoop - We hear Wake Forest will fill their DBs job with Tim Duffie from Colorado State

So looks like secondary coach who doubled as CSU recruiting coordinator and has roots to Texas where he grew up, played college ball, and previously coached.

 

[jamesda3]

I figured we would want to look at someone to take Billings place with Texas ties.

Yep. I've never heard of this guy, but seems like a good get from a very surface view

 

[BillGeorge]

No, no....

Your Mom told me on the couch this afternoon, theIsh.

 

[jamesda3]

Texas has been good to us we need to get more kids from there. Does anyone know if Wiggins is coming back?

 

[dubs21]

Edit:

Was beaten to the punch on the TX recruiting

 

[deacvision7]

No, no....

SICK BURN

Not based on our 1st offer. Obviously, it's a positive for Duffie, but it doesn't look to be something we required in the search.

 

[BillGeorge]

Wiggins is no longer at Wake and will not returned.

It may have been if Reed approached us.
