WFU Hoops: '24-'25 Roster Construction Thread: (-) Carr, Monsanto, Ituka, Clark, Miller, Marsh, Keller, Canka / (+) Spillers, Biliew, Cosby

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

So we've gone from a kind of unsubstantiated 500k demand to an $800k demand? Is this just irresponsible speculation?

That’s just TheReff being TheReff. It was much more than we were willing but it wasn’t 800k

 

[TheReff]

it's not implausible that Forbes can find someone better than Carr out there in the portal

but we were already in a position where we needed several more good players over what we currently have, now in a hypothetical world where Carr leaves we have to hit on like five good players to be a good team

the more slots you have to fill, the harder it is

a bird in the hand and all that

Yet Alabama brought in 9 players and I believe 3 assistant coaches and are in the FF. (Only 1 starter & only 3 from prior roster returned). South Carolina also brought in 9 new players and started with defense first as a core principal. Picked to finish last in SEC yet they won 26 games & made NCAA. Get the right ones and great things can be done.

What I was told today by a normally reliable source. But who knows what’s real when it comes to NIL money? And I doubt you know either.

 

[Frosty]

Isn't 500K ridiculous enough?

Market rate is the market rate. It's not stopping the folks bankrolling everything from cutting the checks.

 

[TheReff]

i thought we were confirmed first four out in 2022

Well we were a 2 seed in NIT because we had to play at A&M in the 3rd game. Tells me we were second 4 out (especially after shitting the bed vs BC in ACCT)

 

[deacdixieboy]

Is it worth signing up for TOB again? This speculation is killing me.

Don’t do it!!!

 

[SC DEAC]

The only basketball scoop that I would trust coming from the Reff is if we get a visit from a Russian player. Then it would be spot on.

 

[centerdeac]

500K is not the market rate for a player like Boopie. But, it only takes one idiot school to meet his demands.

You mean Hillary and the DNC are coming with the Steele dossier. 😂😂

Then that's his rate

I heard he is expected to get $12million from Notre Dame next year!

 

[centerdeac]

I didn't say anyone would meet that rate. So, until it happens its not.

 

[YankeeInAtlanta]

Is there an updated roster minutes projection for next year?

 

[w84it]

I have a Tier 1 source on how much Boopie asked for.

So we’re getting Goldin from FAU. CONFIRMED!

 

[Deacfreak07]

That’s what State fans have been saying since 1987 till the past 3 weeks too

Aww poor things. Suffered for so long since the 25th anniversary of Wake Forest’s last trip to the FF.

 

[BlackjackMc]

Not a lot of optimism on this thread today.

For those of you clamoring for a new coach, the people that have made RTQ competitive like and support Steve Forbes as coach. Follow the money.

Speaking of money, I suspect the cost to terminate Coach Forbes contract would be expensive. That money would need to come from the same people that are funding RTQ. I doubt they want to spend an eight figure sum (again) to buy out a coach they like as opposed to spending their money to provide funds to assure Wake is competitive in athletics.

It never ceases to amaze me how willing folks are to spend the money of other people to fulfill their own wants.

How much was it?

 

[MichDeac25]

D-Day for Wake hoops.

 

[WFFaithful]

D-Day for Wake hoops.

Are we the Germans in this analogy?
