It was just announced that Dinos Mitoglou will forego his senior season at Wake Forest to sign a lucrative deal with the reigning Greek League Champs Panathinaikos.
This is a sudden and full departure from just Wednesday when the staff confirmed to Les Johns that Mitoglou would be returning. It also came as a shock to several people close to the situation, who were told that Dinos would “absolutely be returning to Wake”.
First of all, congratulations to Mitoglou for fulfilling his ambitions to be a professional basketball player. Understandably, the money (reportedly over $2M over 4 years) is fantastic and hard to turn down.
