Adrian Wojnarowski's career

Wojnarowski became a household name as an NBA insider for ESPN, a position he held from 2017-2024. He was known for his breaking news, or "Woj Bombs." Before that, he spent time at Yahoo Sports.

The former NBA insider graduated from St. Bonaventure University in 1991 and announced in Sep. 2024 that he would be leaving ESPN to return to the University in a general manager role. His position consists of working with name, image and likeness, recruiting and supporting Bonnies coach Mark Schmidt.

"It is a thrill of a lifetime to be able to return to a university and community that I love in a role of service to our student-athletes, coaches and institution," Wojnarowski told ESPN.

"I am hopeful that I can bring value in a lot of areas to our basketball program and open doors for our young men's futures in ways both professionally and personally."

The Bonnies are 19-9 in their first season with Woj as GM, and he is looking to contribute to the team's NIL funds by selling memorabilia from his time at ESPN. Basketball fans don't seem too satisfied with this initiative.
