    I'm pumped for next year and, if somehow ...

    I don't know that it was an issue, but I questioned it long before the transfer rumor. Anyone that watched him play this year would question it. I'm thrilled to have him back. I hope for his sake that he can get it together. He stands the chance to make a good living if he can prove himself.

    Luke

    Wish nothing but the best for Luke. Hate to see him go, but part of me thinks it is best for both parties. His stock isn't getting any higher after the year he had, and Duke doesn't need a logjam in the backcourt next season. Considering who Duke has coming back/coming in (Frank, Trent Jr, Alex...

    Zion Williamson

    Recruiting is so fluid. Not sure what kind of timetable he has set, but the longer this recruitment lingers on the better for Duke. I think the opportunity to play for the best coach, and on the biggest stage college basketball offers will be a determining factor.

    Losing nearly everyone...

    Did anyone see what Wendell posted on his Facebook? There is a image floating around where he posted a image of him, Bamba, Knox, Duval, And Trent Jr. Not sure it means anything, but it can't hurt.

    Developing Talent in today's NCAA

    I think we are doing a bunch of overreacting. Duke landed potential one and dones, but to say Duke was a one and done team this season is completely false. Tatum was the only freshman that played a significant role. Outside of Tatum, Duke was led by 2 seniors, a junior, and a sophomore with...

    Grayson rumors....

    In all seriousness, I would rather Grayson stay and not get Duval than see him transfer. Grayson has meant so much to Duke, and I know there is more being factored in than landing Duval, but I'd hate to see that kid in any college uniform that isn't Duke blue. I hope this is all just talk.

    McDonald's All-American game tonight at 7 E.S.T. on ESPN.

    I was pleased with Wendell's D and his hands, especially for it to be an all star game. I thought he worked really well with Bamba. Hopefully Bamba took notice of that. Knox and Duval were really good as well. Knox had a full court drive that ended in a silky soft finish at the rim which is...

    Oregon vs unc

    Their matchup with Oregon is similar to the matchup they have with us IMO. Oregon is very much perimeter oriented and have a handful of really good guards/wings. Oregon has the edge on the perimeter, and UNC has the advantage inside. If UNC let's their perimeter guys get going, it could be a...

    Oregon vs unc

    One of the biggest no calls was when Jackson got that breakaway layup and stopped to let the defender go by. He was sprinting down the court, being trailed by a defender, and he tried to stop all of his momentum so the defender would fly by. He shuffled his feet right under the basket as the UK...

    McDonald's All-American game tonight at 7 E.S.T. on ESPN.

    It's a glorified pickup game with less defense than you'd see at your local YMCA. I will still be watching it though for various reasons. It's nice to be able to see incoming players play even without defense. Also, it has been a decent barometer of what to expect from some players going...

    Losing nearly everyone...

    Not so fast. He has developed quite a bit the past year or so.

    No departure today ?

    Aslong as one of them isn't named Wendel Carter, it won't be much of a surprise.

    No departure today ?

    I was just about to make a similar comment. I know more departures are coming though. It is interesting that those first two announcements came out so quickly and then they have suddenly stopped. It seems there are a lot of moving parts right now behind the scenes.

    Chances Harry Giles comes back?

    He HAS to go. Too much risk in coming back. I just hope it works out for him. Hopefully he can stay healthy and cash in after his rookie contract. I wish the best for all of our guys, but Harry is a little different. He has had such rough luck and I just want like hell for him to prove his...

    Transfers - In and Out

    The point I was making was about the label K has been given at times of holding a player back. That simply isn't true. He plays the best players. I know their goal is to play, and I get that. Those guys just never turned into anything that proved they should've seen more time at Duke. The...
