Marques Bolden gone?
- Thread starter jamsession3
- Start date
He transferred. He's already began his recruitment process while he's at the tourney. 
OFC

If I was sitting at the end of the bench tonight I'd just leave. Pitiful
This is kind of jam's MO....so forgive him. Most here have accepted he's a clown a long time ago.
One of two reasons....he either was really sick as has been reported, or there's more to it that we probably won't ever know.
This has nothing to do with rumors. The kid all year looked like Mike G did sitting on the bench. This was the top center coming out of HS. Yes, he felt entitled. Yes, he felt he needed to start. Yes, he thought he would be one and done.
If he is sick my prayers are with him. But many players have been sick and sat on the bench.
I'm not trying to be an As$%^$, but I'm not going to turn my head to the obvious. In the age of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc... It will come out.
He was on the bench on Friday, at the end, holding water and a towel, trying not to puke (friend of mine was 7 rows back). Yes, he was sick. Bolden may leave, but it wasn't the reason why he wasn't there last night. Stop being an arse.
I can't help but think he'll be back unless he is ok playing in the d league. He's not transferring because he'd have to sit out a year and mock drafts dont have him in them.
Sure makes sense to me but these days I'm of the opinion if there's any chance whatsoever a kid can leave , he'll leave.
Had a conversation tonight with someone about one and done kids leaving. If they live like some of these kids do and are offered money, I can see them bouncing. I totally get it. Some kids wanna stay because they want that degree. I think eventually you'll see the NBA go to the 2 year rule. That'll shake things up a lot.
Degree is 3 to (most likely) 4 years. Big difference from that and even declaring after sophomore year
I know. They have to start somewhere. College football is 3 years. I can see them eventually taking baby steps to stop the OADs. Then again, they may go back to high school guys going straight to the league
The NBA money is off the charts right now. It's affecting young players' motivations. Things will eventually even out, but for now there are extra contracts floating around for guys who normally wouldn't get one because of the increased cap room. Let's keep an eye on those who bolt and see how much money they ultimately make.
I think Bolden should hang in there and work hard in the off season. I think there's a pot of gold for him playing alongside Wendell.
I agree- hopefully that type of logic wins out, but really who knows at this point.
If K did go the route of starting Bolden & Carter it would mean several things (besides Bolden coming back)
- Duke missed on Knox
- Vrank and Javin develop enough to supplement the 4 & 5
- Duke lands Duval
- Duke plays 3 guards
- one of Luke or Grayson returns

Hmmm do you know something? I was about to post on jakes post but after seeing this... me thinks you know something
Didn't the NBA just agree to a new CBA which left the OAD rule in place/
Bolden is all size and potential right now. He needs a lot of work, his footwork stinks and it might be because of him being extremely bow-legged and uncoordinated. He has a high ceiling if he can put it all together he can run very well for his size.
Duke plays everything supremely close to the chest, but all the rumblings I have heard are not good. I feel something has to dramatically change in the relationship between Ques and the coaching staff for him to stick around.
