**********Niemo’s 2 Cents***********
I am stunned and saddened to hear this news. Skip Prosser was a guy with a personality very similar to our own Seth Greenberg. Outgoing, sarcastic, a real character that wore his emotions on his sleeve. He was able to make the NCAA’s in each of his first four seasons at Wake after a successful stint at xavier, the breeding ground for acc basketball coaches. In the last two seasons, however, the team really struggled since the loss of chris paul and struggled to hit the .500 mark. There were quite loud rumblings for his departure after last season (and even the one before) from Wake fans. But Skip kept his optimistic attitude and continued to push on. So far this offseason, he had gotten verbals from the #1, #3, and #13 recruits in the country (according to scout.com)!!! The future looked bright for him and Wake Forest.
He will be greatly missed as a coach and a man in the acc circles.
