This is a Kentucky message board, you may want to ask Duke fans that question on a Duke board.
I really wanted to but I knew it wouldn't last long. So I figured that so many seemed to be in love with the evil pricks, I could get my question answered on this board.

I don't get the point of threads like this here.

If you want to start a "Dear Duke fans" thread, then show some balls and do it on a Duke message board, you know, where the Duke fans actually are. Not here where you know everyone's got your back, and where most people are sick and tired of hearing about Duke.

Yeah, Kentucky fans love questions about Duke asked to Duke fans posted on Rupps Rafters. Makes sense.

Do you really believe this year's recruiting class can deliver a national championship or even final 4? When the " great" Zion, r.j. and company could not get you to final 4 what gives you believe in this group? :thumbsdown:

Duke has a lot of unproven freshmen again. And we saw what he did with this year’s crop. Not impressive.

But on paper, Duke does have a top 5 roster. They got Jones back, brought in a 5 star 4 and 5 and have some returning players. This year those returnees weren’t very good so they’re questions marks as well.

No player like Zion or Barrett in terms of scoring and they’re top heavy again and not very deep. They’ll have a good regular season but the one or more of the freshmen will hit a wall like Reddish did and K will flop with another seemingly loaded roster.

How long before ESPN once again proclaims that Duke could beat a NBA team?

:joy:

This is dumb because their obvious come back is how can we hope for a title when 2015 didn’t win one. Think before you bash other programs.

I know it sounds stupid right now, but K will do better with this team than he did with Zion and company, team here is built more like a typical Duke team. Having experienced players back that shoots the ball well, with sprinkling a few good freshman in, would not surprise me a bit to see them in the Final Four again. College basketball is gonna be very weak this season..

All the people crying about Duke getting #1 classes are the same people who said it was our championship and all we cared about just a few years ago.

Duke will be strong at the point. We still need some more ammunition. Bolden will be a Senior; we’ll see if he can manage not to break himself again. If we land Winston, that would be great. If Hampton decides to reclassify? Even better. We need shooters AND slashers. Zion and R.J. were both terrific players but, they needed Cam to be a consistent deep threat and they needed Jones to have a shot.

All this said, we saw what an experienced MSU team did to us last year. It was just a bad matchup for Duke, much like Duke was a nightmare matchup for UVA. For what it’s worth, I had you all playing us in the final game where I figured the winner would do so by two points.

Duke is pursuing Rayjon Tucker hard, would help you guys a ton, would just give up hope on Bolden anything he gives his senior year is what he is. I have been a Kentucky fan since the 90's, have always known these freshman led teams could not get it done. Kentucky's 2012 team and Duke's 2015 team either one would of won their titles without several upperclassmen coming back..

All I’ll say to that is they have their house in order for next season and we looked disorganized. Calling it as it is doesn’t make me a supporter of a team I despise.
Idk, you're pretty suspect IMO. This isn't the only thread you pump duke. There's been a few just today. Your UK fandom is under investigation.
