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

Yeah, my read is that there is a player (or 2 or 3) that the staff feels is worth the asking price, but they have concerns about that that means for filling out the roster (especially with Sallis as a ???).

As JohnToms states above, it's fine to wait out the market until the players you really want end up elsewhere. If you wait too long, you miss out on targets and then get a pupu platter of "high value" players that aren't winning you anything.

It's like every auction style NFL fantasy draft I've even been in. Certain teams blow their wad on superstars early for like $40-50 each and are content to just fill in the blanks with $1 players. It's easy to say that's a terrible strategy, but then you end up with a bunch of $10 players for $5 each. Great value! But you aren't competing with the top teams when you have that roster. There's a happy medium in there... Definitely not easy to execute.

It's not just Wake. And while Duke, UNC, and Virginia only have a couple of names right now... It's early. I also didn't include guys leaving for the NBA Draft. Duke needs more to leave with what they have coming in (HS recruits and also linked to a specific portal name).

Cal - Devin Askew, Grant Newell, Rodney Brown, ND Okafor, Monty Bowser, Jalen Celestine, Wrenn Robinson // Lee Dort

We’re losing 6 players this offseason, man

I know none of them matter and we’ll recruit better or whatever the line is

But we’re also Wake fans and should know better by now

I mean the only players that Wake has lost to the transfer portal that went on to do meaningful things for a good college team in the past 8 years or so are Sarr and Brown, and that was during a coaching transition.

Losing players early to the pros is an entirely different conversation
