Potential portal players

Based on that article his stock is sliding into the second round. We will see what kind of feedback Trevor gets. This could go either way. SI has him at 25.
Could Timme come back? He has one year left and he's not on any mock drafts.

Timme declared to get feed back. I think he has always planned on coming back .
“League ready” is a commonly used term. It’s about potential, not league ready. You might have 3 guys in any draft that are truly league ready. Took Ingram 5 years to carve himself out into what he could be.
Keels struggled for sure in the tourney but he played very well in the final 4. More than you could say for a few others.
If course they aren’t gonna post videos of him missing shots. How idiotic would that be. Hell I can drain a few threes and make a highlight video.
He should return. Being option 1 makes you much better. He also can improve by getting in better shape
NC State signed DJ Burns from the portal. Big South Conference Player of the year. Averaged 15 points in only 20 minutes per game. Apparently his conditioning is poor and he fouls a lot. Listed at 6'10", but looks 6'7" and 260 to my eye. Two years of eligibility remaining. Stunning numbers. Can't believe I've never heard of him
I heard that. That is a big pick up for them. I'm curious to see who signs Lofton Jr. That guy is a load.
He was at Tennessee. No pt under Barnes. He wanted to prove himself.
I think perhaps you mean Brandon Huntley-Hatfield. He was a top 30 prospect. He transferred from Tennessee to Louisville recently. He's a good rebounder and could become a very good player. I suspect that Tennessee coach Rick Barnes isn't fond of him
DJ Burns played three years, all of them at Winthrop. He transferred to NC State today
I looked at my post again. Sorry I wrote it like I know anything. I had never heard of Burns before today. I I only know of Huntley-hatfield because I have a theory never to recruit or hire people with hyphenated names . I looked for him when Tennessee played. He has potential. Rick Barnes didn't trust him. He has good size, but isn't quick and appears to be lazy
Strange how a player who was relatively unknown becomes highly coverted when they enter the portal
True. But how many of us had ever heard of Carlik Jones or Keve Aluma or Jake Laravia before they transferred to ACC schools? There's some real talent at the mid-major and low-major schools.
Interesting that Jon mentioned that Duke was wanting to add experience to the frontcourt through the portal. He didn't mention the backcourt.
This would be HUGE!
I agree Green would be a great plan B. Keels is definitely trending towards leaving, as Green's visit, Keels not doing 5 on 5 at the combine, Keels being on first round mock drafts all seem to point towards him staying in the draft. Also seeing Trevor at the NBA lottery last night did not seem like a guy who was returning to college. I'm really glad we're not waiting til the end of the month on Green.
Today’s Mock Draft has Trevor going to Raptors w 2nd pick in 2nd round. Back up to Trent?
Williams and Moore going to Spurs. PB going to Houston at number 3. Like to see Charlotte trade their first 2 picks for PB.

Joey Baker to enter portal. Damn. Does this mean Green has committed? Joey would have to sit out a year. Green is better than Joey, but would still have liked to have both.
Yup just saw this as well
Maybe he saw Green as a hit to his playing time. Could this mean we get Green AND Trevor? I doubt it, but it would be nice.

Does this guarantee that we'll get Green? Also who else could be next?
Green was replacing Keels school scholarship. Who's gonna replace Baker's?

The fact that Joey announced this the day Green visited would suggest we get Green. A big upgrade, but you hate to lose a guy like Joey.
Get another transfer! We have another scholarship. Maybe Baker thought Keels was gone, and Green was the last straw PT wise. If we get Green we are still 10 deep, 11 with the other freshman big man. The more I think about this Baker probably thought Keels was leaving.. So he could get more PT. But then we get Green, so less PT. Green hasn't announced yet, but it sure sounds like it.

hopefully that means we get green, and lets go after another portal guy for joey's scholly
One would assume this means we get Green. Loved Joey as much as the next guy, but Green certainly looks like a big upgrade. Hopefully it becomes official.
On one hand it's sad, as I like Joey and I like having seniors. But on the other hand, we need to make our team as good as we can, and getting Green (if we got him) makes our team much better. And we'd still have 3 seniors and a junior.
Should have played Baker on senior night.
Good for Baker . It’s a good move IMO . He wasn’t going to get any pt with either Keels back or adding a portal player.
And this is why he’s leaving . If it was me I would have left after sophomore year but he’ll graduate from Duke with a degree and go somewhere he can play some .
I wanted Joey back I always liked him but I get it.. big things must be coming over the next couple weeks..
On a side not when Joey decided to come to duke then come early I said on here he would end up being another Alex murphy… one particular poster that may have started his own board had a few choice words for that prediction… I think sadly the only part I was off on was how long it took joey to leave

& many other occasions as well. He just wasn’t the shiny new object, so he didn’t have the appeal others did. He could’ve helped way more than he did if given the chance. Heck, Brady Manek would’ve sat at the end of that bench because he wasn’t a 5 star.
I think the UNC posters are just worried who Duke might be getting and why they ran here to posted on the Duke board. They never had good words about Baker until today.
