Fmr. UK target Sallis was a disappointment at Gonzaga but thrived at Wake

Impressive to get first team at a mid major D1 conference. Wait I’m being told that’s the ACC. WTF happened to that conference this year?

I love his game. He's a projected late-first round pick now. 6'5", with good shooting skills.

I would have loved seeing him transfer to Kentucky, but he'll be gone after this season.

Technically its been going on 4 years now since they were dominant. The ACC is the gonna get the hammer drop during the next round of conference shifting. As soon as the SEC decides the conference dies, it dies. We just aren't doing it yet, of course. We don't want to seem destructive or money influenced, but it will eventually "mean more" again very soon.

The ACC homers on the networks know this too, because they were losing their collective minds during the last round of shifts because they know it's almost over and hate it. UNC being in the SEC is going to be a hard pill for a lot of ACC guys in a few years. I suspect the UK / UNC game becomes the premier game in the country too.

Duke will either try and pull some Notre Dame "above conferences" routine and go independent or something but I have my doubts. I think Duke will end up in the BigEast. They might be recognized but there's no way a BigEast team remains in their position nationally. Can't wait!
 
Sallis was, of course, ranked on potential. He's now reaching that potential. But he's currently doing so in college, rather than the G-league.
 
Loved his most recent game against dook. He was out of this world shooting the ball.
 
Wasn't he the guy Justus tried to blame the fans for missing out on?
Yes, Justus and Kyle Tucker used the Sallis recruitment to attack fans over their reaction to the BLM/kneeling issues. I would have to think the fact that the team was in the midst of going 9-16 may have had something to do with Sallis going elsewhere.
