My Wake degree got me into my law school, which got me my LLM, which got me my career. I donate to all 3. Wake is the only one that I give to the athletic program.
Interesting read: The Chances of a Drafted Baseball Player Making the Major Leagues: A Quantitative StudyAnyone know what percentage of MLB draft picks ultimately make it on the field of an actual MLB game?

Honestly, this is pretty true. I’ve worked at and attended schools of all types. If you do well, then you will be fine no matter where you went. The big thing that some schools can offer is an alumni network. The other thing that I think some schools offer directly at the undergrad level that some can’t is a lot of research opportunities (primarily in STEM. No undergrads can do work in my field for instance). The last big thing IMO is class size. But there are tons of schools where you can get small classes. In today’s day and age, the professors at top tier schools are hardly any different than those at no-name places. The academic job market is so bad that schools have their pick of Ivy League and equivalent candidates for every position. So your education has the potential to be phenomenal just about anywhere. The only thing I will say that is really in favor of higher tier schools is that you can go a lot faster in courses when students are of a higher caliber.Wake is a degree. in most fields it really doesn’t matter where the degree is from. So outside of maybe law school, the Wake degree thing is elitism.
That kid also was in a different…pre NIL environment.
Cause he pulls for Wake? No need in being an asshole.Why are you here?
Because I care about Wake Forest Sports? Seems like a prerequisite unlike creepy stalking people on twitter?Why are you here?
This is a great question. I’m about to sign up for RTQ for $50/month. Does that make much of a difference?Is the best way to support Wake baseball through Wake or Roll The Quad? Let’s assume for hypothetical purposes we are not talking about Kentner level donations.

Most-interesting player to watch, IMO. I thought he was in first or second tier until they added his brother.That's a solid read, CO. I think Hawke is in the middle tier, but I hope I'm wrong.
Pierce really does add great value. Selfishly would love to have him back because he was great when talking to us after games.Yeah, a little more optimistic about Morningstar and Bennett than I had seen before. I’m still expecting Bennett to be gone, but he is one of my favorites and would love to have him back.
Hoping the prospect of playing with his brother is enough of a pull for Hawke.
