He's lost so many players in the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin has so much high school talent like Marcus Domask and Milan Momcilovic. He's also lost Tyrese Hunter, Patrick Baldwin, and Brandin Podziemski. In-state recruiting has gotten worse

Malik Mack - transfer from Harvard

Kanaan Carlyle - Stanford
The consensus on all transfer sites is that Carlyle is a top 10 transfer. He was a freshman this past year, so his efficiency numbers will only get better. His ability to change speeds, read the floor, and score from deep is what stands out to me.

This is the scary part of Wake Forest’s schedule coming up. Some bracket experts have Wake in the field with 0 Quad 1 wins because of efficiency metrics. If they can pull off a few of these games and the UVA win from earlier on in the season turns Q1. WATCH OUT

Forbes should not be fired. However, this idea of “reload” and come back next year is not realistic in this day and age of college ball. I would love for Sallis to come back to Wake, but the reality is Wake’s lost a key piece that was not expected every year in Forbes tenure.
Because this is/going a popular question over the next probably month, no shot.
You’ll return the vast majority of this team next year. Shore up the holes (PG/backup wing/backup C) and push all the chips in

Wake fans should definitely want Jelani. He’s a combo guard that excels in a lot of areas Wake struggled this past year. He has great positional size for a combo guard and was known as a pesky defender with quick feet in high school. He also has a silky smooth long range jumper

I’ve seen a lot of people on this app saying, “Look what Wake’s done with former 5 ⭐️ Hunter Sallis, why wouldn’t he come to Wake?”

There is no questioning Cam’s value on the defensive end of the court in tonight’s matchup. I think tonight I will be looking to see what his decision making on the offensive side of the ball is like in addition to the defensive end. He needs to pick his spots on when to attack
Cam Hildreth will be tasked with guarding a red hot Blake Hinson tonight
When these teams met on Jan 31 Hildreth shadowed Hinson - face guarding him to limit his touches
Did a pretty good job limiting attempts but Blake was still efficient (6-10 FGs and 2-4 3PTs)

There's a reason that's "Dirk's" shot and not "Cam Hildreth's" shot
Wake holds Virginia to 49, gets gifted with a historically bad 1-11 FT shooting performance from the Cavs and still loses by 2. Hildreth misses a Dirk Nowitzki fadeaway (over Ryan Dunn) at the buzzer...
L doesn't really effect tourney chances but a W obviously would've been
