I can already tell I’m gonna hate this dumb ****
How many Wake Forest players with remaining eligibility, that haven't entered the transfer portal, can you name off the top of your head? I got all the way to two.
Olivier Sarr entered his name in the transfer portal. I think Wake already has 15th place locked up for 2021.
Kentucky fans are already putting him into our lineup on rafters. That place has the highest highs and the lowest lows. Often in the span of an hour.
Wake Forest is a tough job. I've heard good things about Forbes but I'm not sure how he does at WF
Let’s go!!! Could be the difference between a Sweet Sixteen and a Final Four for UK. The one spot we needed a legit player and we just got one.
Pretty sure he will either get the waiver or go pro. Apparently going back to Forbes is not an option. Probably saw that video.
Are you mad because he took a shot at UK's academics?
I thought it was a classless move by Forbes
I'm pretty sure he jumped into a week old thread about Wake Forest, saw somebody mention paycheck and assumed it was an insult towards Kentucky.
Yeah, I'm not a fan. I think he tries to hard to pick fights with the big boys and is pretty shady. And this is from someone who pulls for Tennessee when they play anyone except UNC.
That’s the bottom line. Only took a shot because we were after his player. He knows he doesn’t stand up to Kentucky. Douche bag
I always think that those talking points are kind of dopey and juvenile. Kentucky, like most big state schools, provides a good education to many people in the state. Wake Forest is a small private school. It may be more selective but I really doubt the quality of education is really that much better.
Erin Calipari, Cals daughter, called out Forbes on twitter and totally clowned him. She’s a student at wake about to graduate and basically said in her field, UK would have been just as good if not better for her education.
That's always how I've looked at it. If you're going to college at a major university then you're going to one of the better colleges in the world. I wouldn't compare Texas Tech to Duke or anything like that but they're much more comparable than Tech is to a community college.
The difference is the "better" colleges are more selective. When the majority of your students are the brightest and most motivated, they should also be successful after they graduate. I'm not sure how much I attribute it towards the quality of education. The degree from those schools is basically an advertisement to potential employers that you're a bright and motivated person.
On the flip side, most big state schools are less selective and give potentially less motivated students a chance to turn things around. Many of those people do and are very successful after college.
I really don't think it matters after you've worked for a few years, have a resume and have built a reputation.
I agree. Once your rep is established and you attract the elite students they will succeed. LIke you all have said, a lot of it depends on the programs at the university. I know at a smaller school around here my brother went for Electrical Engineering and said when they received transfers form a very large, very private, very elite, and very expensive school they were overwhelmed at how much better and more difficult this much smaller school was.
She graduated from Wake like 7 years ago and has been working at Vanderbilt for a while now. You're thinking of what Marrow said.
Adding 4 McDonalds AA & returning Brooks & Bacot should move UNC up to 14th place.Is UNC no longer in the ACC?
I like Bacot, he can be really good when he wants to be.
