Interesting thread on the Duke board arguing what's the better recruiting philosophy in today's world, one and done's or the portal.
Duke is pretty much where UK fans were before the lights went on. There is something mesmerizing about those little 18 year olds with all the unlimited potential talent, that leave you in a year before they even start shaving. The 5* high, and dreams of banners and Zion's. It's wild the effect it has on fans, even if it cannot produce champions. They are there, in that spoiled state thinking their Brotherhood is the bomb.
Scheyer is mixing it up a bit this year, and I hope he flops again.
BTW, Duke in their longest drought since K took over, going on 12 years. Longest prior was 11.
Routing against other programs just doesn't hit home like it does with Duke and their fans. Seems like we should hate UConn, but it's not the same or as fun.
