    If Jon gave you…

    What's the odds we keep Cayden and Caleb with Rippey coming in? I have no idea, just asking.

    If Jon gave you…

    I know we've had a ton of success, but If the talent that has come through Duke since 2017 had instead gone to unc, Kentucky, or Kansas... and they have zero titles to show for it? I would bet a hefty amount we'd be laughing at them. We have a little argument with this team due to injuries...

    If Jon gave you…

    I can't argue with you about him being a classless prick. But his players seem to love him and they win. And believe me, I hope they get ran out of the gym Monday night, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    If Jon gave you…

    He's the perfect blend of crazy, intelligent, and caring. Every other fan base despises him, but the reality is it's because he's so freaking good.

    If Jon gave you…

    I’m watching the final four, even though it’s hard to. I despise UConn, but Hurley trusts multiple guys, and they can all contribute. Right now they have four guys that have scored double figures, and one more with 9. We ride our horse, then beg for someone else to step up. Yes I'm still...

    If Jon gave you…

    We got hit with injuries at the absolute worst time. Foster used up his good game vs St John’s. The kid was just too sore. I also think Ngongba’s injury was a little more than we were told. Add in Evans having a game where he was almost nonexistent. Your second leading scorer has to take...

    If Jon gave you…

    When you look at the championship teams, most of them have at least 4 of the guys on the floor that can score. There aren't many teams that were like the 2010 team, which basically relied on 3 guys. I know I'm being critical of a team that lost 3 games by a total of 5 points, but I can't help...

    Who will Duke add to the staff?

    I think it’s a tough one. Battier is the only former player that I’d be somewhat interested in getting. A part of me would like to see someone from somewhere that hasn’t seen our facilities, and could let to our players know just how good they have it at Duke.

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

    I’ll take it a step further. I think there are high school players that get a bump in ranking/rating as soon as Duke shows interest. THE DUKE FACTOR

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

    The major thing that should be considered in all this can be summed up in three words. **THE DUKE FACTOR.** You put Ngongba and Sarr on almost any other team out there, they are either coming back to make more money, or transferring for more. Because these kids come to Duke though, the...

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

    Option A: the pay is ok, but you're never on tv, so you're almost forgotten about. Option B: doesn't matter if it's against El Segundo School of the Arts & Crafts or Kansas, it's on tv. Exposure off the charts, and the pay is ok,

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

    Yeah, Pat and Dame have no business leaving Duke for the nba. None. If I was reading the scouting report for Sarr on offense, I think it would say "athletic and can hit a corner three, no mid range game, and below average ball handling."

    If Jon gave you…

    I know this is a fantasy thread, but come on guys, a B+ for regular season success, and a D+ for ncaat success? You'd really tell him that with a straight face? Jon has some improving to do in my opinion, but given his age/experience, he's been pretty dang good.

    If Jon gave you…

    Overall, he’s done a really good job Think he relates well, as also seen by his recruiting. I think he’s a good coach, and in close games at the half, his adjustments have been great. My concern is tight games, and making sure the role players continue looking for their shot. It’s not his...

    Congrats to Jon Scheyer and Cam Boozer

    I know we are all salty about the ending, but we really had a great season. This team was so much fun to watch, and unlike some other years, I think they all enjoyed playing together. We also need to be very proud of Caleb. In an era where kids are deemed soft, he showed so much toughness to...
