Who was your favorite player to transfer out of Wake

Aside from the inter-team competition. I recall Arinze bulked up greatly and lost his basketball touch. His 1st year was his best as that team of 5 freshmen beat NCSU in Raleigh. (season final? for some pretty good NCSU players)

 

[PhDeac]

Yeah, we used to call it getting "Arinzed".

 

[PhDeac]

And the really weird thing is that he transferred to DivII Henderson State.

Well he had used his redshirt year.

Well he had used his redshirt year.

Another thing, and perhaps you can speak to this, Ph: it seems odd that, with his career aspirations, that he'd get his diploma from Henderson State rather than Wake. RJ seemed to have a similar mindset and he chose to graduate early.

Arinze's dunk over Battier and ensuing charge call unearthed the rage I had for Battier and Duke.


I was in a bar and my head popped off.

Arinze, and it's not even close.

 

[VaDeac]

Lots of revisionist history on a lot of guys' skill sets on this thread. Most of these guys were pretty bad when they were here.

That's a mystery to me as well.

Back then, he couldn't have graduated and played his 5th year elsewhere to start his masters.

It speaks to a larger issue in higher education that the degree of record isn't necessary where a majority of credits were earned.

Can't believe Dkin hasn't chimed in yet with his vote for Greg Keith.

He gets my vote. What could have been with the twin towers of Keith and Kitley...

 

[Mule]

Todd May. Not even close. I remember him torching Kenny Green in the gold and black game just days before transferring.

Wish I coulda added more choices
