It’s actually super realistic. College kids suck at tackling except the maybe 100 or so kids who are gonna make it in the league.
Lol Rothstein is still trying to twist his anti-ACC agenda by asking Brownell about their poor performance in the ACC tournament last week. John, it's the NCAAT, who cares about conference tournaments anymore.
Wake Forest has had three five star players in the HISTORY of the MBB program.
They will have three this year alone.
Hunter Sallis
Efton Reid
Omaha Biliew

Bias aside. I am irritated with the hype the MW is getting for doing the same exact thing the ACC’s bubble teams are doing. Beating up on each other night in and night out with very similar metrics, etc.
No one in the MW (aside from SDSU) has won a NCAAT game since 2017…
Forbes said he was going to bring back the excitement/crowds of the late 2000’s and boy oh boy did he deliver on that promise.
Thank you
@ForbesWakeHoops
for making WFU basketball fun and exciting again. Can’t wait to keep showing out at the Joel!
49-5 home record

Here is a stat -
Over the last seven games, Hunter Sallis is shooting a BLISTERING 60.6% from behind the arc.
60.6% on three-point attempts. He has been one of the hottest, if not the hottest scorers in the entire country over the last month for WF.
At just the right time.

Wake Forest commit Jeremy Hecklinski named a finalist for the MaxPreps National Player of the Year.

D.J. Lagway, Jeremiah Smith headline MaxPreps National Player of the Year finalists. 🏈
Four quarterbacks and a wide receiver in the running for high school football's top honor. 🔥
✍️:
Reasons Wake Forest lost:
1: SIX missed layups at the rim on fast breaks
2. 22 point deficit in 1H
3. Missed FT
4. Missed Travel at the end of the game
5. Piss poor defense
6. Lack of effort in the 1H
Back from W-S and had time to digest everything so let’s break it down.
1. What an absolutely incredible basketball game. That game was back and forth all night long and it came down to who could get the final stops.
2. This is a tournament team, no if ands or butts.

You know, I've been a big critic at times this year of Boopie's performances on the road. But I just had to remind myself. The kid is a sophomore, playing his first season in the ACC. He will get better and better as he learns, yes he needs to be better but cut him some slack.
What a great last 24 hours for the Deacs.
Friday:

Kyle Filipowski may have just torn his ACL due to a Wake Forest court storming.
And people said Matt Painter was “silly” and a “sore loser” for saying someone would eventually get hurt smh
Just want to remind everyone that Forbes has been through hell this year. His wife has a stroke before the season starts, his mother is currently hospitalized. Not an excuse by any means but it certainly takes a toll.
Greatest game EVER, it will sting forever as well but we may never see that elite of a pitchers duel ever again on the biggest stage. Both Rhett and Paul absolutely delivered!

Now this is one I would keep my eye on Wake fans.
Former McDonald's All-American from Charlotte, NC who had Wake Forest in his final four before committing to Auburn during the 2023 cycle.
His final four schools were Auburn, Miami, Tennessee, and Wake Forest.

Jon, please hire someone to proofread your stuff before you post.
Jao Ituka is not on WF's roster and is in the transfer portal, Andrew Carr is a "Key loss" and isn't even mentioned and you have Tre'Von Spillers in both the Key newcomers and Key Losses. Sallis also testing NBA.
I have never single handedly hated a player more than I do DJ Horne. Not even Grayson Allen can top this pricks arrogance for being on a mediocre team.
Wake Forest lands an enormous transfer in Marist OF Ethan Conrad. A potential day one pick in the 2025 Draft. Chose Wake over SEC programs. My no. 9 non-draft eligible transfer prospect.
.389/.467/.704 with 9 HR and 17 RBI. 55 runner, 'plus' raw power. LHH. Star in the making.
Per Torvik, IF Wake Forest goes 6-0 to finish the season:
7-seed. 3-5 Q1, 5-4 Q2, 14-0 Q3/Q4.
5-1 and a loss to Duke? 10-seed
5-1 and a loss to Pitt? 9-seed
5-1 and a VT loss? 10-seed
4-2? First four out. (L's to VT/Pitt)
Huge stretch coming up for Wake.

CRUSHES this baseball 434 feet to center field to put the Tides on the board in the first. Points to some fellow Niner fans in the crowd!

Man, our entire roster is now back and at full strength. No reason we can't finish top 4 in the ACC. LFG. 14 games remaining, let's have some fun!
#GoDeacs
Source: Wake Forest's Damari Monsanto (knee) and Jao Ituka (knee) have both been fully cleared for all basketball related activities and will be available for Saturday's game against Louisville.
Wake fans just make my head hurt sometimes. We knew Sam wasn't coming back. It was NFL or NIL... why are we acting like we are surprised, regardless of where he ends up???? And there is certainly NO reason to disrespect or feel differently about him bc of his decision... Chill
This team is different. Wake finds a million ways to lose this in the past. Down 5 less than a minute into OT and they didn’t fold they didn’t quit. 3-0 in the ACC BABY!!
Sallis was the only WF player to receive a single vote for ALL-ACC.
None of our remaining three players averaging 14+ PPG received a singular vote.
Kind of surprised.
#GoDeacs
What a huge weekend for the Diamond Deacs. Came in scuffling, got key bullpen arms back and have gone on the road and swept a top 15 team while also getting Nick Kurtz to break out of his slump.
8 HR in the last 5 games, 3 today to go along with 7 RBI.
#GoDeacs
I like our regional. ECU fans are elite and I like the challenge of having to go into the jungle to win. I know ECU fans are not happy about having Wake in their regional.
If you can get to Greenville this weekend, DO IT

7-5 is a letdown for this season. But it feels good deep down to know that 7-5 isn’t the standard anymore. We expect better from Wake football and that is just a testament to Dave Clawson and his staff. Thank you Sam Hartman for everything. I don’t wanna hear anyone say this
Just pathetic. Not even mad at Massey or Cole or Chase. But Walter made some QUESTIONABLE decisions down the stretch this year.
Seat has got to be hot.
