    I was referring to an 8/9/10 seed in ACCT where the result would determine the seed in the NCAAT.

    Not counting the ACCT Ken Pomeroy projects Duke to finish 9-9 in ACC and 20-11 overall. The wild card is when or if Amile returns this year. Pomeroy projections would be based on Amile having played the first 10 games but probably under reflect him not being in at least the next several. He...

    Starting Five

    OK with me Dat if we remove the word combo and just say guards, as all are more guard oriented than tradition SF was my point. What you say about Ingram being a Duke 4 may be true, but somebody has to play 3 and for balance purposes, Duke has 4 bigs, 4 guards and Ingram who offers a ton of...

    Starting Five

    Duke has 4 returnees and 4 frosh plus Sean Obi who is a tweener. Duke also has 4 combo guards (Thornton, Allen, Jones and Kennard) 4 bigs (MP3, Jefferson, Jeter and Obi) and one natural SF in Ingram Would not be surprised to see coach K set the tone with 4 returnees and either Thornton or...

    Starting Five

    I think the only sure starters and Ingram and 2 or more of the 3 captains. Maybe because he had just learned about it earlier in the day, but coach K was very focused on the arm bar on defense, and how it will help Ingram defend bigs at the 4 when they are back to basket. May be reading too...

    What Should We Expect From Chase Jeter?

    With this year being a relatively weak class, you almost have to downgrade the rating of 15 a tad to equalize, but still a top recruit. I can't really answer your question other than it seems strange that he and Zimmerman are both listed as highly rated centers but played for the same team...

    Swanigan Decommitted from MSU?

    Apparently his guardian has a Purdue connection which is the reason for his interest in both Purdue and Cal due to coach Cuonzo Martin formerly at Purdue. Dan Dakich says Purdue is a done deal @PaulBiancardi · 13h13 hours ago That's the answer... But the question is why now ?? What...

    scholarship numbers

    Yes, as the number 3 rated WF and Thornton the #2 PG, they are virtual locks, especially since Duke has no one else who naturally plays their positions, though Allen or Jones or Kennard could so so in a pinch...

    Coach K has some serious work to do now.

    Don;t sell Sean Obi short. Even if it was at Rice, he can bring it, and certainly improved practicing all year versus big Jah Player GP MIN PPG RPG APG SPG BPG TPG FG% FT% 3P% Sean Obi 30 26.4 11.4 9.3 0.8 0.5 0.7 2.0 .591 .544 .000 Amile and MP3 are what they are without much upside from...

    Wonder what Alex Murphy is thinking now?

    Wow. One Week and Duke's Recruiting Class Skyrockets!

    Sean Obi is no Jahlil Okafor, but he can go pound for pound with Kennedy Meeks or any other dominant big, a role MP3 could do also, just not for extended minutes. I agree Brandon Ingram provides so much flexibilty a la Mike Dunelavy and of cource Derryck Thornton partially fills a gaping hole...

    Duke's Defense in 2015-16

    Duke has a lot of the long athletic players Jim Boeheim and Leonard Hamilton like to build their defenses around. With coach K being so much more flexible on defense thanks to his Team USA interchange with other top coaches, lots of potential to vary things on defense back and forth.

    Honest Opinions On Who Should and Will Start Next Season...

    The ultimate lineup of Thornton, Allen, Jones, Ingram plus a post player seems to have unviersal agreement other than no concensus of which of Amile/Chase/Marshall/ Sean starts at center. plus, whether he starts or is energy guy off the bench, Amile Jefferson plays starter minutes. Based on...

    Honest Opinions On Who Should and Will Start Next Season...

    You are so right. Duke has one PG and one natural WF, plus 3 other combos/wings and 4 bigs. So he can slide Ingram from WF/PF to leverage both. When coack K absolutely needs a stop: MP3/Obi, Jefferson, Jones, Allen and whichever of Thornton/Ingram fits the situation, with defensive skills of...
