I don't care if Roy found him while he was selling encyclopedias. The point is that most analysts agree that without injuries he's a 4* (I haven't heard 5). So Roy offered knowing he's 17 and should get back to full health by the time he is on campus.

Makes sense to me and glad to have him."

Then gary:

"Absolutely. I was told he was a slam dunk to be a strong 4*... with high 4* / 5* potential (to make sure I'm wording it correctly) had he stayed healthy and developed normally."

gary was "told" this. Must be those awesome AAU connections of his once again! Lol.

DSouth: I think Huffman wil give us more in his career as a Tar Heel than Bamba/Carter/Porter give the programs they commit to

Well, I suppose it is easier to accumulate more numbers when you play for 4 years instead of 1. But, even this might still be a push.

Finally, Gary with some interesting comments about Ingram:

I was glad Ingram went elsewhere. Would have been a disruption to our chemistry.

Then, when pressed on whether Ingram could have helped them win the title last year:

What if aliens landed tomorrow? The chances he would have made us a better team are about the same as that... but extremely likely it makes us worse. . . . Ingram would not in any universe have made our team better.

Simply amazing. On what planet does the #2 pick in the NBA draft not make a team better? If they had Ingram, they certainly wouldn't have been absolutely atrocious from 3.

Even better than the mafia line is that he confirms things after the fact. He gives the updates with total nonsense, then someone posts reliable info, and Gary chimes in with "that's exactly right" and "I couldn't say it before/that's what I've been hearing.

Maybe he has eyes and ears in the high school game, but his posts have never been reliable. You'd think he'd stop making himself look so bad.

Dr. Steat spitting his knowledge....

"Worst case scenario has Bradley starting at the 5 and Manley at the 4 in 2017. Telling you folks right now that if Manley does not get hurt in his upcoming high school senior season he will be a 5-Star. This kid is an Antione Jamison clone. When was the last time Roy started recruting a player for the first time and wrapped him up in 2 months? Roy had to ink this kid before he jumped up in the rankings."

:D

I hope he doesn't get scoped, Roy would be the devil for forcing him to play.

Most people who truly have info, do not post much of it on free message boards. At least the reliable type of info. There are posters on this site, I can think of a handful or so that post daily that have great info on Duke recruiting, they just don't say much at all about it. Before or after the fact.

I assume that is for purposes of protecting the anonymity of the source? I think that is what frustrates me at times, haha, but I understand why that is. I know that information is good and I keep craving more of it.

Some of that, yes. I think there are pieces of info that recruits and coaches would prefer stay private as well. So when someone gets info shared, it usually is in good faith that that info will stay with them or in the proper forum.

Gary with this broken record again: An understanding of the game shows uk and dook HAVE dumbed down their systems to accomodate OADs.

I forgot how complex their system is. What a joke.
Click to expand...

He really is arrogant enough to believe Ingram would have been a hindrance rather than a boon to Chapel Hill. And he's also stupid enough to believe that having multiple OADs on your team 'dumbs down' your system. In case he hasn't noticed, UK and duke have both won titles this decade, we haven't.

Thanks for all the folks that provided these quotes. I went over there during lunch and couldnt stop laughing. It is truly astounding some of the things they come up with- everyone who doesn't choose UNC is some how involved in shadiness, handlers $$$$ etc. I can't believe i'm saying this but i actually feel bad for other unc fans that have to claim these morons as one of their own. Granted we have our own but no one on this board even comes close to those idiots- at least in my opinion. But that's an opinion, not a fact. I dont make opinionated statements and claim they're facts like Dsouth.

What in holy hell??!! Yeah, he was GLAD they didn't get Ingram and he wouldn't have helped them. Yeah, wasn't pissed one bit when Ingram chose Duke, right?? He was majorly pissed, actually. Saying crap like, "It's a shame that the negative recruiting over the "scandal" forced him elsewhere because he always wanted to be a Tar Heel"....Shut the hell up.

What Would Jesus Do? said: ↑
"I just noticed that Kentucky hasn't signed anyone yet.

Obviously that will change. But I wonder if their fan base is getting nervous? I know I would be pulling out what's left of my hair if we were in that situation.

Which points up one of the bad things about the OAD mind set. Just one bad recruiting year can be a real disaster.

While UK is considered in the lead for 6 guys and in the running for a couple more, they are only shown as a lock for 1 guy (Richards). What if, by some fluke, most of the other guys pick someone else?

Would the fan base melt down? Would Cal go to extraordinary measures to hold on to this year's OADs?"

Yeah, WWJD, you guys landed your big 3 star and Kentucky is just sweating it out. Duke and UK wait a little longer because they have much bigger fish to fry.

gary is so sickening I don't even know how to describe that fool. Sean Miller got Ayton because his "fixer" beat Cal to the punch. And now he is hearing Bamba may have "handlers" involved too. Same garbage from this sickening fool all the time. Get some new material, A Hole.

"House of cards. Cal's bluster is his calling card, and sometimes it's gonna miss. Oh, they'll get there share of targets (and unfortunately use whatever means necessary to do so), but I said it before, he stands a a chance of whiffing on his targeted Bigs. He wanted Ayton bad, and anyone who says otherwise --- here or elsewhere --- is flat FOS (Miller's fixer just beat him to the punch). Carter has had no interest there for months, and McCoy is likely staying out west. It's Bamba or bust, and PJ is right there in that same priority now. Cal tells everyone who'll listen and his propaganda machine that he has them in the bag to keep the perception if momentum fresh. It might work (often does) --- it might not.

By all rights Mo Bamba should go elsewhere, but I've heard a few rumblings lately about handlers in his camp (which would be disappointing for such a bright kid), but they could be just rumblings, so I guess we'll see..."

Especially when that recruit was a kid from Kinston, played for Stackhouses' AAU team and had a family full of Tar Heel fans.

I know I would have hated to see Ingram choose UNC after he was Duke lean for as long as he was. The only reason I would have hated it was because of the player he was. Which was good enough to get drafted 2nd in the NBA draft.

It's simple Tar Heel bias against duke. This isn't one of the more ridiculous posts I've seen.

soaps response was ridiculous but I get the first comment. I often wonder why anyone would wear that shade of blue. Very feminine, for me at least. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

For the record, it's easy to root for any successful program or franchise. UNC and Duke included. When I was growing up, kids just randomly picked sides, even if their families had no ties to the school.

Dukesince90 since they were going to ban you anyway for asking that junior Meeks vs freshman Ingram question you should also asked them how did that soph Meeks vs freshman Okafor thingy work out for them. Just imagine how that would have really pissed them off. That Gary statement was probably one of his top 5 all time zingers and he's had dozens of them hasn't he.

To me that is completely acceptable. Somehow though there are some fans out there who only view a person as a bandwagon fan if they are not from the said state or have ties to the program. To me that is not the whole truth behind being a fan. If you are loyal through the good and bad times, you are every bit the fan as someone who does have ties to the program. That said, root for your team and stay loyal. Don't give a crap what others parameters are for being a fan.

I concur. Though I am from the state of North Carolina, I will still root for the Tar Heels, rain or shine, good times and bad. My loyalty hasn't wavered and it never will.

Though many on THR probably still think I'm a secret duke fan lol.
