We can simply agree to disagree on that I guess. Ayo wants to be a 1 or 2 and done. There aren't many schools that can boast as good a record of developing pros as Wake Forest the past decade or so.
Currently it is:
Chris Paul
Jeff Teague
Ish Smith
James Johnson
Al Farouq Aminu
John Collins
vs.
Myers Leonard
Additionally Manning is a 17 year NBA vet and was the #1 overall pick himself. Underwood is a good coach and has had a lot of success, and most likely is going to win a lot of games. If Ayo is looking at the NBA as his goal (which it clearly is), Wake Forest seems to have the upper hand.
How many GM's does Underwood have on speed dial? How many former players? How many mentors can Manning produce to help Ayo reach his NBA potential vs. how many can Underwood produce? IT doesn't mean that Manning is a better X's and O's coach, it just means that he was one of the greatest college players of all time, and had a long and succesfull NBA career that netted him a massive network of pros. Its a huge advantage in recruiting, and I think it is why Wake has seen some recruiting success even though the Win / Loss record doesn't match up quite yet. We really didn't deserve to sign Olivier Sarr, Chaundee Brown, Jaylen Hoard, or Isaiah Mucius, but we did mainly because of the pro experience of our staff in Manning and additionally with Chilldress.
