Only 56.

7/26/2007 4:10:16 PM

exactly why i dont do shit

7/26/2007 4:15:36 PM

isnt is fucked up how if you have a bad heart/clogged arteries, the only way clear them (without surgery) is to be physically active. But by being physically active, you put more stress on your heart, increasing the risk of a heart attack.

Life can be a fucking bitch sometimes.

RIP Skip.

7/26/2007 4:17:52 PM

what is even more sad is that Skip Prosser (a great guy and leader) dies and all we'll see this thug walking into a courthouse

7/26/2007 4:17:53 PM

sad day. its always terrible when a young guy passes unexpectedly.

7/26/2007 4:20:56 PM

Good coach, good man, a staple in ACC Basketball. He will be missed...

ESPN finally reporting it

its gonna be interesting to see what his recruits do and who replaces him

7/26/2007 4:33:04 PM

i wonder if their search is going to be in-house or not

7/26/2007 4:34:47 PM

my boss just came in here and told me terrible news

7/26/2007 4:36:45 PM

to keep their recruits i would think that would be a good route to go...

and as ACC rivals, i also think it would be good for them, i dont want them goin and gettin someone really really good to compete with us ya know

7/26/2007 4:36:53 PM

I was just reading about how he had the second best recruiting class coming up in a couple years.

7/26/2007 4:39:22 PM

damn that is sad. i live in winston-salem and pass through his neighborhood from time to time. i always heard he was a good guy, a little crazy at times, but still a likable guy

7/26/2007 4:44:41 PM

this is terrible news.

They had probably the top class for 08. If anyone in the acc, including us, gets any of those recruits it will be classless in my eye. I know unc was after two, but dont know if they will pursue.

Hopefully they stay to honor skip.

7/26/2007 4:47:10 PM

Was Battle recruiting them?

7/26/2007 4:50:56 PM

damn, that really sucks. RIP

7/26/2007 4:51:07 PM

^^^ yeah, agree totally

""It's so sad. I feel so bad for his wife, Nancy," said Arizona State Herb Sendek, who coached against Prosser when he was with N.C. State. "Skip was a gentleman and someone who represented what was good about our profession. He was the kind of person you wanted your son to play for.""

Good ole' Herb

This is pretty shitty.

I understand where you're coming from on that, and I agree that if any of the schools (NCSU included) try to take advantage of this and go after the recruits then yes, it would be highly classless.

However, if Wake Forest releases the recruits from any commitment, and the recruits themselves contact other universities, then you can't really hold it against them for simply saying "yes, you can come here and play."

We'll see though, I doubt that the recruits will be wanting to jump ship quite yet, and if they don't then they're going to be very well loved on Wake Forest's campus.

7/26/2007 4:53:41 PM

oh this is the guy from wf i never thought he was that great of a coach anyone can win with tim duncon

but still sucks for his fammily

7/26/2007 4:54:30 PM

The comments I saw from his commitments really made it seem like the guys were really sold on the school, academics, etc. If Wake keeps staff continuity it wouldn't surprise me if they hang onto them. Wellman will do a better job than Fowler managing the transition.

7/26/2007 4:55:04 PM

gottlieb on espn news now

7/26/2007 5:04:07 PM

I just left Baptist a little while ago, and hadn't heard anything about this. Complete shock.

7/26/2007 5:04:11 PM

^^^^ He didn't have Tim Duncan. I've always liked prosser. He was one of the top 4 or 5 ACC coaches and was great for the revival of Wake Forests' program.

7/26/2007 5:09:15 PM

Wow! RIP.

7/26/2007 5:09:28 PM
