As it turned out, Coach Dino Gaudio of Wake Forest didn't even have to deliver the message he had planned for Sunday's practice. Seniors Ish Smith and L.D. Williams delivered it for him. "Ish Smith raises his hand and starts talking about Boston College and how bad they beat us up there two years ago," Gaudio said. "They crushed us.

And when we've got those players expressing themselves about the next opponent, I think it means even more than when we as coaches say it."

My Take on Wake - Running the Numbers on Wake | JournalNow.com

This is not a pretty team. Teams that miss a bunch of shots and turn the ball over rarely look good, at least not until the game is over. But defense and rebounding statistics reveal effort. And it’s hard to argue that any team in the ACC has given more effort so far this season than Wake Forest.

"He’ll be a point guard that understands the flow of the game. He’ll get the ball to the players he’s supposed to get it to. He can score when he needs to score and he loves to play defense," Cimmino said when asked to describe what Hinds will contribute at the next level. It’s still early but Cimmino says half a dozen schools are working the hardest on landing Hinds. "The people into him the most are Louisville, Virginia, Wake Forest, St. John’s, UNLV and Seton Hall," Cimmino said.
