And no word from the NCAA on Jeremiah Williams for Rutgers.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Of course.
The timing for waiver exemptions are always before games against Rutgers.

 

[BillyC80]

First Coleman Hawkins heals up in time for our game, and now this.

Reminds me of how our football team played three opponents that were coming off of bye weeks this year.

 

[RUChoppin]

Here's hoping it screws up their chemistry and rotations for his first game on the court.

Former 5-star recruit. Perfect

 

[Skull83]

We'll be able to keep him occupied on defense by feeding the ball to Cliff in the low post with his back to the basket.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

Typical RU screw job by NCAA

 

[rutgers1998]

He’s not very good. Averaged a whopping 2.1 ppg last year and 6ppg the year before

Idk, the Wake board seems pretty excited

Idk, the Wake board seems pretty excited

I guess we’ll find out for ourselves tomorrow. His previous numbers don’t scare me but don’t know his full background

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Worst Case Scenario.

Hopefully he will throw off timing considering he has not played a game yet.

 

[willisneverrana43]

So this is the worst case?

 

[RUDeac]

Idk, the Wake board seems pretty excited

Wake fans are excited because other big men suck.

Worst case scenario

Not good for Cliff I think

I find it insane that the NCAA can't get through all of the waiver requests before the start of the season. This is an organization created by the colleges and universities. But the approvals dribble in throughout the course of the season. How is this remotely acceptable?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Doesn't this guy suck? A 5-star who average only 4 PPG while averaging 19 MPG in '21-'22 then did even WORSE in '22-'23?

Forbes said he was one of the best players during the summer practices and he plays solid defense. Other big guys like Keller and Marsh suck. It’s definitely a major boost for Wake.

They're going alphabetically and will get to Jeremiah in March

 

[Scangg]

A team adding a former 5 star 7 footer can't be a good thing when Rutgers is getting doubled up on the boards as it is

It’s not! The NCAA is a total joke.

Wake Forest has four starters that average in double figures.In contrast Rutgers has no go to scorers.

 

[RUChoppin]

Wake Forest has four starters that average in double figures.In contrast Rutgers has no go to scorers.

On the flip side, they have virtually no bench production. 88% of their scoring comes from those 4 guys, but they only play 67% of Wake's minutes.

Maybe Rutgers can tire them out with the press and/or get them in foul trouble to force theor bench into the game more. One thing we have done this year is draw more fouls
