Woof. 29% for a guy who was a liability on defense and has zero athleticism.
I’ll get right on that. There’s only 600+ players for me to sort into tiers.
Honestly, I can’t even keep up with all of the players we’ve supposedly contacted.
Also, I have a hard time arguing over which players are good enough to be worth our time and which ones aren’t. We’re dealing with incomplete information and also don’t know what Forbes is looking for. I trust his eye for talent.
He was getting with one of his teammates girlfriends is what we’ve heard.
Can you even keep up with the new adds for today?
I would think Tre Mitchell should be our #1 target. Harrar should be behind him. We need to find someone who has proven to be a good three point shooter after losing Antonio and Massoud.
As bad as we were inside this year, we will be in three point shooting if we don't find some wing shooters.
Do we need a guy without the foresight to bring a lookout?
Dear God huh? Well, God gave me and Forbes eyeballs and both of us see the reality for Adams is he lacks the tools that make a legit ACC point guard, and the minutes aren't available in our program for him to develop into one by the time he's a senior. Unless we don't value winning. I guess Forbes and I will just have to go on hoping to fill a Wake roster with players that can win for once instead of nursing flawed players along for years because we think they're good folks. I like Adams, too - great attitude, plays hard and defends. I wish he could hit a 10 footer or make a single pass over the course of his year that rivaled one of the 4 Whitt made in his final game as a pre-freshman.
You can't have it both ways. You can't applaud the moves Forbes is making by being (brutally) honest with kids that causes them to transfer while shaming posters who recognize the reasons behind the choices Forbes is making. We could have kept Adams if we wanted to, without question. Send Forbes some emails and shame him into keeping him if you're so offended.
Forbes did what he had to do. Only Manning guys left are Mucius and Ody, which were the only 2 guys he inherited that deserved to take a scholarship on an ACC team.
I would've been fine with massoud returning and think he could've carved out a 15mpg slot as a role player, but having 5 openings and a brand new team next season is much more exciting.
I'm sure Massoud will land on his feet.
Rj, I’m seriously not trying to start an argument but it’s time to retire the narrative that Massoud is a good shooter. He was 8-10 from 3 in the Pitt game and 28-97 otherwise this season. That’s terrible by any criteria, much less for a player that supposedly is a shooter. Maybe we can all agree to put it to bed now that he’s leaving.
I am so glad the Steve Forbes is our coach in this new wild wild west of transfers rather than our previous two deadbeats. Forbes just seems uniquely suited to this.
pretty big red flag right there if true
The argument that Massoud is a good shooter is laughable, he shot 29% in 21 games and got hot 1 game. Massoud is NOT A GOOD SHOOTER.
