    Oweh update

    Goes back to my original statement. We don’t know what anyone is “likely advising”. Probably not best to insinuate anything when it comes to family advise unless you actually know the family.

    Oweh update

    Or his brother is telling him to go ahead and go, that the risk of going back to college and having a major injury is too high… I don’t know, but the point being no one knows what his family is telling him, unless you have a direct relationship with them.

    Why do we hang on every word that these recruiting "insiders" have to say ?

    Being an insider in today’s world of recruiting means nothing. There are just too many factors that play into these kids decisions that can change overnight. take Nate Ament for example. I personally think that kid wants to commit to Duke but is waiting to see how their roster plays out and to...

    Duke had $35m- Dark Money? WSJ

    I remember watching an interview a few years ago, when JJ Redick was interviewing a 6 10 wing, Matas Buzelis, when he was playing for the NBA G league. In the interview Redick indicated along with Matas that Matas wanted to go to Duke, but there was a NIL conflict. JJ went on to say they would...

    pierre's agent plans to meet nc state

    Will Wade back in a power five seat. Hate to say it but I can see him turning NC State into a solid program with today’s rules. Guy always finds the bags.

    Does the name on the front of jersey mean much?

    To your highest level kids, with the exception of a select few. The name of the school is nothing but something to help grow THEIR brand/exposure. Too much money to be made in a short amount of time to worry about stuff that happened 20 years before you were born. Yes, I believe kids do grow...

    Rumor about Mgbako price?

    Excused from Duke? I thought he decommitted due to Flip and Mark Mitchell returning to Duke for their Sophomore year. Question for the board, who would you rather roll out there. Mgbako or Noah??? Love Noah, but Mgbakos star potential is definitely there and if Pope can get this kid to shoot...

    Rumor about Mgbako price?

    Look, this kid has an NBA body, and he is really talented. The question for him lies between his confidence with his jump shot and his heart/desire to play. Too often at Indiana he was content with letting someone else have the moments. If he finds that killer motivation and plays with...

    Burger boys getting ready to scrimmage on espnu

    I said this earlier. Flagg nonsense about a second season, though clearly is a farce, could cause hesitation in Ament as well as other transfers. They also have some other guys who have to make a decision to stay, go pro or transfer like Evans. I think Ament wants to go to Duke but has been...

    Question about Duke's offense

    I said back in November, playing Duke early was a blessing. They have figured out their spacing and they use a ton of Elevator screens. It helps when your 6 9 power forward is initiating the action, bigs are not use to guarding the perimeter. Besides their two centers all four guys are a threat...

    Friend said he doubts UK ever wins another title

    I won’t say they will never win a title. Any group of guys can make a 6 game run. But the idea any high level kid is picking a power program for tradition is naive. Too much money for these kids to be able to make for them to care about what happened in the 90s, 80s, 70s, etc. That does make it...

    Duke -6.5

    That 2019 team three sometimes four guys that were legitimate threats on offense, and like you said, struggled to shoot consistently across the board. Zero bench production. And they struggled at the free throw line, which ultimately cost them the game against Michigan State. This years Duke...

    Dent to ucla

    This is spreading across just about every platform. Looks to be a done deal.

    Duke -6.5

    the problem with Duke, they can win in multiple ways. There’s no stopping Flagg, you can slow him down but the kid is playing at a different level. When he leaves the game, their offense often gets better has the other players seemingly step up for the short time he is gone. Kon, Proctor, Sion...
