I hadn’t paid much attention to basketball this year for a number of reasons. We had 6 guys transfer out after the season? That seems wild.
It was for the best of the program

None of those guys are good. This is not an issue unique to Wake. There are ~1000 players in the transfer portal and more to come. But Wake’s overall talent level will be higher at the end of the day.

There are about 4000-4500 D1 scholarships available. When you consider how many will graduate, 1212 is likely close to 1/3 of those returning. There have been back-to-back strange seasons due to Covid. Next year, it will be interesting to see how many more will be on the move.

I don't even know- is this new free agent transfer thing permanent? Or is it a one-time thing?
Lykes to Arkansas. Didn't expect that outcome, but I haven't been following too closely. I thought he was going to Maryland.
Musselman has this transfer thing figured out. Also landed Toney recently. That is a couple of nice additions to an already strong team.
Yeah Lykes said Maryland was his top school until Fatts Russell committed there. He didn't want to play with another ball dominant guard.
We fired Dino 11 years ago today. What a disaster this has been.

Not because of the decision to fire Dino. Because of the subsequent hiring decisions.
Will grant that Dino was a far better option than his two successors (anyone would've been), but his record as a HC prior to WF was dismal, and he was just fired as a an assistant from L'ville; he's simply unable to run a high level program as Dino's success was due to talent that Skip had recruited (Dino inherited a program with 4 future NBA players).
If there was any thought that Dino Gaudio was well-suited to run a program, he would've had a sniff at other head jobs over the last 11 years. He has not. A pet peeve is the idea that the decision to move on from Dino was a mistake. It was not. The program was headed in the wrong direction. Wellman ruined the program with his two pathetic hires after Dino, but had Dino continued at WF, the program would've been over-matched at the ACC level (again, not saying WF would've been as bad, but WF basketball was not going anywhere with Dino running the program).
Man, what the fuck was Ron Wellman thinking hiring Bz? Fuck that smarmy nutsack! Always and forever.
