@CoachDanCasey 81 YARDS! One of the best Stan Cotten Calls. Also, Kenny Moore downfield blocking needs to be frozen in time.

Wake Forest had some ELECTRIC Misdirection Plays in 2006.

I’m confused as to how much Wake fans really thought they were gonna pay Juke Harris…like…who didn’t know he was gonna be gone…we’re not playing the same game folks…for Wake to pay him what he’s worth you’re talking needing at MINIMUM an $8-10 million roster …not happening

@staccato_xl9 @TheDeacMachine He isn’t happy at all. In a recent presser - he voiced his displeasure. He lost Sinai, Berkhalter, Barnes, Ibirgoba, and Mays due to lack of funds.
English
@clifferrell @TheDeacMachine Dickert seems pretty happy with the funding he’s getting. I like to see it get to about 20 million that’s what SMU spent when they went to the college football playoffs two years ago.

That NIL post Wake sent out this week is so tone deaf it's not even funny

@ADavidHaleJoint Athletes go to class at Wake Forest. Shocking to hear, I know.

Great visit at Wake today. The Grounds project at the stadium is taking shape… gonna be very cool when it’s done in ‘27. Also bumped into Davaughn Patterson coming from class. Which class? CHINESE LITERATURE! Who says college football players don’t do academics anymore?!?
English
@staccato_xl9 @TheDeacMachine For football its 13 to 14 mil. Revenue share is a total
of 22 mil for all sports. Football is in the bottom of 3rd of the acc. Hoops is DFL.
English
@clifferrell @TheDeacMachine Yep, his budget is 21.5 million a year.
English
@staccato_xl9 @TheDeacMachine If Dickert had 3 to 5 million more - you are looking at a top 4 team in the acc year in and year out. But as it stands now, wake cant get players that are tampered with.
English
@TheDeacMachine The football team is being taken care of NIL wise. We’re putting the money in for facilities, our coaching staff, and to get good quality players that will help us to keep us at least competitive in the league. Basketball were just not putting it into it.

@essexthayer7 If this happens - I want Currie/the BOT on the front row in the Joel when he drops 40 on us.

If Juke Harris is drafted this summer, that is one thing.
But, if he instead plays for another college next season, it is an abject failure from Wake. For the powers that be, it’s unacceptable and should be a wake up call.
Sincere best wishes to Juke, he gave his all for WF.

@CourtroomTan @CamLemons_ @DeaconSports The unviersity should also be funding the revenue share 100% like most other schools. Allow the DC to work on what its suppossed to work on, and donors can give towards a collective. There is no way for individual donors to give to an nil collective at wake forest
English
@CamLemons_ @DeaconSports So the question becomes…where do we go and get more money? What are our options? If the University as a whole decides that football and basketball are important enough to the college experience, can they go find it somewhere outside the athletic department budget?

Well I was going to do a small twitter video but those can only be like 2 minutes unless you give this hellscape money. So made an unlisted YT video (so no one can accuse me of doing it for clicks): youtu.be/gHAcKXY9e98?si…

@CamLemons_ Can you give a summary of what this means? I'm a bit lost in how WFU dropped the ball.

@giglio_OG Boo has been dipping into Lee Fowler’s secret stash.
English
In the introductary press conference, Boo Corrigan just called Justin Gainey “Jason” twice … 😬
English
@DeaconSports Agree. Never felt so completely defeated more than now. Wake isnt even attempting to fix anything.
English
At least when we had bad coaches like Bz and Manning there was optimism that a new staff would change things quickly. Within two years this has gone from at least being in the mix to structurally rotten. Just terrible planning waiting on the government (?!) to bail us out.
English
It’s rough when your only hope just to be a tourney contending P5 program rests with the hire of a new university president. Systematically so bad that coaches don’t really matter and the money doesn’t give you a chance to even compete. Honestly, really down as bad as it can be
English
@BSum94 @DeacsAtDiolis Wake wouldn't RTQ let them use the Wake's branding. Another early stop sign by WFU vs NIL. Insanity.

@TieDyeNationPod Target bigs with what? Hand shakes and hugs? Maybe a trip to Reynolda Gardens? Certainly wont be with cash.

Cooper Schwieger enters the portal, as expected. Look for the Deacs to target bigs in the portal.
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanHoops
Wake Forest forward Cooper Schwieger will enter the transfer portal, source told @TheFieldof68. The 6-10 junior has averaged 11.3 points and 5.2 rebounds over three seasons at Valpo & Wake Forest. Represented by @GSLSportsGroup

@joshbstrickland @allanw98 @DeacsAtDiolis Wake fans are going to have to do this themselves. set it up and we will spread the word. Bet dickert and forbes would be interested.

Question for you @joshbstrickland, could us fans start an NIL collection? Is that legal?

@DeaconSports BC is rumored to have 8 million (rev+NIL) for Murray.
English
Impressive hire for BC, didn’t think they would be able to convince him. Wake drops another spot in roster spend
Jeff Borzello@jeffborzello
BREAKING: Boston College is finalizing a deal to hire UConn assistant Luke Murray as its next head coach, sources told me and @PeteThamel. Murray helped build back-to-back national champions at UConn and has established himself as an elite offensive tactician.
English
@DeaconSports Agree. Also, goes well beyond the AD. This is failure of the university to properly fund the revenue share. Most successful schools are 100% funding it. Wake funds about half of the rev - forcing the AD/DC to find the rest. Means leaving nothing for NIL, if a co-op existed
English
*If* the reported budget is correct & sticks, this is what Forbes has to work with next month. This is why Currie coming out in March and saying we were middle of the ACC is so frustrating and why I rarely direct my complaints to coaching the last couple years.
