Wake Forest snatched a 7ft to recruit.

And these are the guys beating on me for years to give them even MORE money.

Wake already bought out the minor league baseball team's stadium a few years ago....they're building a pretty nice off campus athletic area between Grove Stadium, the baseball field, and Joel Coliseum.

Joel is a nice sized place...probably around 14K but we really need a coach. Dino Gaudio anyone?
