    RIP, Jerry West

    As a little Bioy growing up in Charleston WV I went to the Diamond Department store, purchased "Mr. Clutch-the Jerry West Story" and got in a line to have Jerry West autograph it.

    Lakers wanting to hire Dan Hurley

    I think the Portal and NIL have changed the college game so much that coaches who would have stayed (such as K) are now much more interested in the NBA if it comes calling..

    RIP Bill Walton

    If it weren't for his numerous feet injuries he would have gone down as one of the greatest college AND pro basketball players all time, INHO.. If you doubt me, go back and watch his early years in the NBA, especially when he led the Blazers to the championship,

    "I think people are severely underrating the 12th ranked player in the class, Kon Knueppel..." Couldn't agree more. In a few years Don Knueppel could grow into a Luka Doncic kind of player. Luka: Kon:

    Sheyer: “We (coaches) probably have to make some changes

    Seriously ? How it’s his second season . Did K win it all in his second season ? I remember the iron Dukes calling for K to be fired ! Wonder how they look back on it now . Coach K did not come to Duke with the advantages that Coach Scheyer has, it's an apples to oranges comparison. Coach K's...

    Sheyer: “We (coaches) probably have to make some changes

    "I’m officially worried about our coach." He was a great player and is an incredible recruiter. Not seeing much with getting very young but very talented players ready to play. It's kind of disappointing.

    What are you gonna miss most about hof coach roy williams.

    This team is now developing a Duke-style identity and, as a fan, it is a great relief!

    AOC a little bitter after move to Creighton?

    "Less remember the guy is in his early 20s, things didn't pan out for him at his dream school. He is trying to become a fan favorite at his new program and remake a name for his self." Great point. These are kids feeling their way along. I shudder when I think of my way of thinking at that age...
