Bolden

[Quavarius]

Not to toot my own (along with a few other Duke fans) but we told y’all to be patient with Bolden! Im very proud of his progress and knew he would be an asset to the team if remained healthy.

Also, this tweet also sums up Bolden’s personality as well. We’re used to big men being dominant in all walks of life. Some are actually shy which causes other to perceive it as if they don’t care or they’re not working hard enough (for us fans).

The skills are there and the confidence is growing each game. I’m damn glad he stuck with our program, he’s going to play a big role for us this year.

But Bolden is over there sitting on the bench and he looks pissed off, I think he is transferring.

Agreed

His attitude and aggression is more evident when he's confident, too. Watching him run the floor the last night after some of those blocks was fun to see. If the light bulb has indeed gone off for him, then this team becomes that much better.

Marques was marvelous last night, simply marvelous. But his ratio of blocks to high fives is a concern.

OFC

It was awesome, QC! Marques was all over the place...twice blocking shots, and then racing down the floor to get a dunk as a reward!

OFC

Agreed, but I am personally doubtful the confidence will be sustainable with much consistency, but hope I am wrong...

Seems like he's been wearing a weight vest for the last couple of years and decided to take it off. Really great to see a kid blossom.

I hope these are the early makings of another Quinn Cook senior speech for Bolden.

Anybody remember that dude on here that talked all that bolonga about Bolden? He was patting himself on the back after the Canadian games. Saying he didn’t want Bolden back then blah blah I told you so. Ahhh I forgot his name!!!

Dude was injured- more than once I think, and he had Mono in the course of just 2 years. Bigs also frequently take longer to develop. I also think it takes bigs longer to come back from leg injuries sometmes.
