    And if thats the case and we do start 3 guards we as a team need to run teams ragged... you've got to change up. Offense should speed up. Press more all that comes with it

    Is it too early to start a thread on roster predictions for next seasons roster?

    MY BOLD PREDICTION: Carlos Boozer joins the coaching staff and Both twins come back for one more year... "thursday 4-9-26 @ 6:10 am CT"

    I say the dark side is not being the STAR. Not being the talked about player on the team. Sometimes I think that makes the players not feel wanted like it isn't a team game. I get some instances. I truly thought Harris could provide this team with a good year, but when you get very little...

    Im taking Foster and Boozer. I hate the world of sports are in. If im Foster im finishing where I started and what I started... if im Cayden, im staying put and making a name for myself. And if im Rippey Jr, im coming in and doing everything I need to push the team to the top. Someone has to run...

    If Jon gave you…

    Talent matters YES. Just like everything execution of what you do best is going to trump everything. Doesn't matter freshman or senior. Style of play, minimizing turnovers and scoring is gonna win. Point blank.

    Who will Duke add to the staff?

    As much as I loved Cook as a leader I dont think he is my first choice as a coach... we need a COACH COACH. Evan Bradds carbon copy... but willing to not get poached for another job. Someone else with X's and O's knowledge. Someone who can put together a good strategy... But if Cook is willing...

    Sarr I can understand. But truly dont get. If that makes sense. His offensive game is so subpar that his defensive abilities wont compensate for the difference... he would strictly be a RUNNER in the g-league. Play defense and run the floor. His offense needs to be improved to even think about a...

    If Jon gave you…

    Overall you have been B+ level... You are coaching Mainly high level freshman which is a benefit and a curse. Every year a newly constructed roster. So with that you get a B+... Recruiting you get an A++, but would say look at some progressive players who plan to stick around more than 1 year...

    Official gameday thread- Duke vs Uconn

    Jon is NOT GOING ANYWHERE... he is Duke basketball. There isn't even a chance he goes anywhere. But he does deserve to be criticized and analyzed of and on his failures in the big moments... Coaching K the greatest of all time was not over being criticized so neither should Jon... Learn from it...

    Official gameday thread- Duke vs Uconn

    Die hard fan here, a Complete realist and a Jon superfan. I believe in him as the leader and head of my Duke Blue Devils. But he DESERVES to get hammered AT THIS TIME... these last two tournament loses are on him. Players play the game obviously, but the coaches manage and make adjustments to...

    & I hate to be insensitive but I hope everything comes sooner than later. I hate the Duke "off season". The waiting decision game... If its me you, got 10 days to decided on where you wanna be and what you gonna do. The waiting game hurts roster building.

    Is it too early to start a thread on roster predictions for next seasons roster?

    Foster Returns, Cayden Boozer returns. Wilkins returns. Nikolas Khamenia returns... You go ALL IN on Big Pat and Dame Sarr to get them 2 to return. You get the 4 freshman coming in. And you get 3 QUALITY pieces in the portal. A workhorse Center, an experienced wing, and a good tough PF... and we...

    Off-season thoughts

    I have a strange feeling that Cooper and Maluach are both coming back... it's hard for me say that, but IMO you don't miss out on Ament and Henderson unless a BIG BIG fish is at play.(Realistically i don't think it happens, but Hopefully). It's just strange that all this is happening like it is...

    Off-season thoughts

    I'm thinking the same thing. Minus the obvious Kon, Flagg, and Maluach. I ld say they all are returning... it's way too late to get impactful transfers, and getting really late for a player to find a future destination. Hopefully we are correct.
