WFU Hoops: '23-'24 Roster Construction Thread: +Miller, Sallis, Reid, & Canka

[1976Deac]

FUCK!

Yep, same response for a lot of us. A lot of work he’d put in, too.

 

[Strickland33]

 

[PhDeac]

Looks like a completely different player.

 

[Deaconblue]

Looks like a completely different player.

Forbes was holding him back!!!!!!!

Or is that the difference a year of physical and mental maturation makes?

 

[PhDeac]

A year? We last saw him play for Wake about 6 months ago.

 

[Haros]

That’s the guy we saw glimpses of once Damari went down and that we would’ve had here. That is a loss that will hurt.

Hopefully Canka (his replacement) makes us forget about him.

 

[MichDeac25]

A better development situation/platform would have been for Bobi to continue playing against ACC competition, rather than an Australian basketball league. There is better overall talent playing collegiately right now than in this Aussie pro league.

 

[80deacon]

Looks like they play in slow motion

 

[Strickland33]

 

[birdman]

Wow! He’s really good at layup lines!

 

[MichDeac25]

Really have to wonder how in cahoots Draft Express and Bobi's agent are/were, as well as that one twitter dude who was hyping Bobi.

 

[DCDeac]

Lol at that defense where the dude just kinda walks toward Bobi, arms by his sides, then just gives up and lets him take a wide open 3.

Get a little money, play shit teams that make you look great, have zero stress, get drafted make millions. It's all good assuming that last part happens, but hitting set threes and uncontested layups may not be the drool-sauce for NBA scouts like these articles seem to be pushing...

Hopefully MMM* (his replacement) makes us forget about him.

FIFY, but if Canka can replace him, that'd be cool too.

 

[Tex98]

I'm pretty sure there's a Jonah Antonio sighting in those highlights.

 

[Haros]

FIFY, but if Canka can replace him, that'd be cool too.

I’m with you in MMM maybe replacing his role. As long as someone does it well, that’s great.

I was more talking about the direct impact — we would have had both Bobi and MMM. When Bobi left, that opened up the spot we used to grab Canka.

good call

The Field of 68 released their almanac today and predicts Wake to finish 10th in ACC this season. They have Hunter Sallis as the Newcomer of the Year for the conference.

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Any word on Efton Reid?

 

[Pilchard]

Any word on Efton Reid?

Yes, it's a secret.

No word, and there likely will be no word for another month. The UNC/Tez Walker situation wasn't initially ruled upon until the week the football season started, and wasn't fully resolved until week #2 of the season. Perhaps, there are unreported circumstances that will help Reid's case, but the current NCAA trend of rejecting the vast majority (as in over 80%) of double transfers makes Reid playing for WF next season unlikely.

ACC press vote Wake higher than 9th preseason challenge
