Blackwell did an interview at the combine yesterday where he referred to Duke and the staff as "we" multiple times.
Sounded like he's coming here without actually saying he's coming here.
8 ACC teams made the NCAA tournament last year. Miami also won their 1st round tournament game and gave Purdue a good scare in the 2nd round.
Lucas has Miami a clear top 20 team this year and it would be fool's gold for a blue blood to not scoop him up in the next couple years.
But Duke bought Zion's family a house and gave Chris Duhon's mom a job she wasn't qualified for and what about Lance Thomas?????????
Every program that has been relevant has been cheating since the 80's. NCAA just too stupid to catch anyone.
Wall, Cousins, Knight, MKG, Davis, Noel, Randle, Harrison Twins, KAT, Booker, Monk, Fox, Bam all came to UK for the education and received nothing in return though right?
Agreed. I think the March injuries of Foster/Ngongba really hurt us down the stretch. We should have still beat UConn, but 100% healthy I think we destroy UConn. Jon is building this team to withstand an injury or 2. And we have 4 bigs, so foul trouble won't be a concern since Ngongba loves...
Can't go wrong with either. I'd lean Foster for now due to his three-point shooting and defense being slightly better than Cayden.
But if Cayden improves a lot this summer, than who knows. Great problem to have. I hope Cayden starts the UConn game.
I saw a stat where Blackwell was a top five 3-point shooter in the country (percentage wise) when taking wide open 3's. Gotta think that number will increase more since he will get more open looks at Duke rather than at Wisconsin. He's not a great "tough shot maker."
Basically the opposite of...
Who do we predict as the starters? Next season could be the toughest to predict starters in many moons.
Foster
Blackwell
Sarr
Williams
Ngongba
I think our 2nd unit also could be a Sweet 16 type team. Absolutely ridiculous. Guys accepting their roles will determine our ceiling.
