STEVE Forbes Wake Forest

[Kevin Bryan]

so why did she choose to go to wake forest instead of UK then?

"As a Wake Forest graduate I still think it’s completely unacceptable and incredibly elitist to act like the University of Kentucky isn’t a top academic institution. UK is a world leader in many fields, including my own (substance use disorder research). Also as an academic I can tell you that entire institutions aren’t better than others. How good of a fit an institution is for you depends on field of study, your goals, and fit. Without my education from a state school (UMass) I would never be where I am now."

yeah this didn’t really answer my question

Really? "How good of a fit an institution is for you depends on field of study, your goals, and fit."

So wake forest was a better fit because it’s a better school for the program she was in?

I like Bacot, he can be really good when he wants to be.

He better have that “want” next year or he’ll be watching Day'Ron Sharpe from the bench.

I'm not sure I'd want to go to the same school that my dad coaches basketball at. A lot of kids want to get away from their family for college.

 

[coryfly]

I like Bacot, he can be really good when he wants to be.

I'm not crazy about him tbh. I think he believes he is better than he is. That's fine but he comes across like he doesn't really take the game all that serious.

Did you go to college? When you are talking about graduate school, especially, programs are very specific, especially in her field. Very few colleges offer the same curriculum. I don't claim to know why she went to Wake Forest, but there are many deciding factors when choosing a school (at least from my experience).

His other daughter went to UK very briefly, then transferred to UMass.

 

[JimboBBN]

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.

Gotcha

 

[dukedevilz]

Is UNC no longer in the ACC? Winking

I know he sure picks up some silly ass fouls.
He seems like a great kid that maybe didn’t realize D1 ball is a lot harder than he thought it would be.
Was hoping he’d get spend a summer in Chapel Hill going against the alumni but that doesn’t look possible.

This is some good spin. The rafters may be a much better spot for you. I would be glad to compare my degrees with yours at anytime as well.

 

[JimboBBN]

People want to go away to college all the time. Its not groundbreaking. If two schools offer similar programs/education for your field of study, then choose whether or not you want to stay home or go away. She wanted to get the college experience it looks like. It would have been very different if she went to UK.

 

[Scotty00]

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.

Yea that’s why I laugh at people who say “Can’t get a real education at UK”. I know several people who went to UK and I can say they are living a pretty good life!

She never even lived in Lexington. She was finishing undergrad at UMass when Calipari came to UK.

She just likes being away for school it seems.

Damn Lewis Skolnick, this is a basketball board nobody cares about what degrees you have.

Yeah I can see why someone from the outside would not want to live in Lexington

I wasn’t the one that asked the question “did you go to college?” But I understand why UK fans don’t want to discuss college for the most part

You been stuck on stupid for quite some time so your degrees don't come into play.

I wasn’t the one that brought up college. Take that up with mr. Bryan

 

[bkingUK]

so why did she choose to go to wake forest instead of UK then?

Probably because he would’ve had to walk on

Umm made want to re read here. U less you think Carl’s daughter is a men’s b-ball player

I think you missed her point. And also, it’s a terrible example. Can’t blame any kid for not wanting to be at UK when their dad is John Calipari.

You are now claiming I missed the point when you didn’t even comprehend my post originally?

I asked you if you had gone because it didn't seem like you knew how it worked. Not every college offers the same majors/minors/classes/etc. One college may specialize in medicine while another it may be agriculture, technology, or a million other things. There might be 500 colleges that offer a major in biology, but only a handful of those offer a concentration that you are interested in. It gets much more specific in graduate school. Certainly you must have realized these things, given your vast amount of knowledge gained through your prestigious academic endeavors.

Plus, even if she went to Wake because it is 'better' than UK that wouldn't really diminish Kentucky as a university anyway. That is silly. Let's take the recent GOAT argument. Acknowledge Jordan is the GOAT doesn't mean Lebron is trash.

LOL. The dude chose Kentucky because of its degrees in college basketball. Nothing else. Stop this other bs.

Kentucky to wake forest is comparable to Jordan/Lebron? That’s an Interesting take. MJ being wake forest and UK being Robert Horry is probably better here

No shit. We weren't even talking about Sarr...

 

[AuHoosier420]

If no shit then why is your fanbase getting so butthurt over your academic credentials being questioned. You are a basketball factory . Nothing more. Just own it.

At this point, I have no idea why anyone replies to him more than twice.

Once he gets 10 replies deep in a thread, it's 100% shitposting.

Not for pharmacy school. Try again.

UK pharmacy school isn’t a MJ level either

I take it you went there? Where you learned to smoke all that weed?

Is that why you’re here? To talk about college degrees and such? Really???Laughing

Again it was a Kentucky fan that brought up the college question. Why are you asking me this? Reading comprehension skills of the BBN on full display in this thread. Good lord
