What the Japhet-Mathias Dismissal Means for Wake Forest
At this point it is likely known by most readers of BSD that sophomore center Samuel Japhet-Mathias was “permanently dismissed from the men’s basketball team for not meeting program expectations” last week by head coach Danny Manning.
The England native was used sparingly this year by Coach Manning, appearing in just one game in ACC play. He played 15 minutes against the Duke Blue Devils in Cameron, scoring 4 points to go with 2 rebound and 4 fouls.
While SJM did not play a lot this season and it appeared that he fell into the Manning doghouse for whatever reason, this does bring up the question of whether the Deacs will be a dhorthanded inside moving into next season.
