    It's not enough for Jon to steal UK's recruits; now he even steals UK's recruiter. Louisville really playing the 4D Chess against UK with taking Nolan from us so that we take Jai. Joking aside this is actually very interesting and not a good look for UK. Particularly interesting is that this...

    Jay Wright leaving Villanova

    I’m not saying NIL and all that isn’t a factor. But who are “these coaches?” If you’re talking about the likes of K and Roy, neither of them needed to worry about tip toeing around anything.

    Next years minutes

    Wait... he said that it feels good to be back in his hometown and so you're taking that to mean what he's *actually* saying is not his hometown at all — the place he's referencing and posting from — but "hometown" is really just a wink and a nod to Duke and what he's *really* saying, by...

    Jay Wright leaving Villanova

    People are often so sensationalist. K was 75 years old. Roy was 71 years old. Call me crazy, but I'd prefer to not be working when approaching my 80's. There were rumors about a week ago regarding Jay Wright possibly retiring. Most 60 year old multi-millionaires aren't going to want to simply...

    Keels 2nd round

    This will sound sarcastic, but I honestly don't mean it sarcastically. But I think a lot of people — particularly college basketball fans that don't watch the NBA — forget or don't realize how insanely good every NBA player is. It is *hard* to make it in the NBA.

    Why do so many hate Duke so much?

    In no particular order: 1. Duke is a massively elite and successful program. The bullseye is always on the backs of those on top, whether that's other blue bloods or wildly successful teams and/players in other sports. 2. Narratives are as much a part of sports as the action on the court/field...

    Embarrassment for Tar Heel coaches, medical folks

    Yes, you don't leave it up to the potentially concussed 23 year old to decide. That's literally why we have concussion protocols. Having said that, any post trying to throw shade at UNC right now just comes off as salty to me.

    I mean, you may be totally right but it’s all speculation and the wishful thinking of hopeful mindset right now. He has work that we can actually look at and, just based on what he’s done so far, it isn’t good. Hiring a coach that, on paper, looks very questionable for a program like Duke being...

    I don’t care if we go out of the Brotherhood for a hire or not, but going out of it *is* unusual. So going out of the Brotherhood is weird, but going out of the Brotherhood to hire a coach from a mid major who — admittedly based on a small sample size — hasn’t been successful is a super weird...

    How is this not a fair assessment? It's not even an assessment in that I didn't provide any commentary, much less it being unfair. All I did was give his record as a head coach. The fact that the numbers alone make you feel the need to defend them probably speaks for itself, however. Having...

    Schrage's Elon record is 33-52. His best season was 10-9.

    Your reaction if…

    With no intention of ill towards K, I hope Jon truly has the freedom to do it his way (whatever that may look like). Which, again, I’m not sure we haven’t seen a preview of Jon at the helm.

    Your reaction if…

    Do you have inside knowledge we don't have or are you just hoping? Not knocking Jon; we just have no idea what his plans are.

    Your reaction if…

    1. Anyone who thinks Jon is going to bring in anyone from outside Duke is delusional. That's just not how it's done at Duke, good or bad. 2. Jon did almost all of our recruiting so recruiting strategies aren't going to change. Honestly, I'm not expecting a whole lot to change in general (and I...

    Hate if for Duke but happy for Nolan. Hopefully he and Kenny Payne can turn Lvile around.
