Thanks Amile and Matt

[DukeSky85]

For everything and giving your all...I know some on here will bash but you guys are Duke Basketball to me! Your heart and dedication will be missed

 

[skysdad]

Danged right buddy. Got to love their love for Duke. OFC

 

[Laettner15]

Perfectly said DukeSky! Thank you thank you thank you to our seniors! Still some unfinished business!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Don't worry, they'll be missed next year. As usual, no one knows what they've got until it's gone.
Thanks, Amile & Matt, you're the epitome of what a Duke Blue Devil is.

OFC

I remember Amile his freshman year taking pics with my son and I. Watching him push all the adults outta the way to take pics with the kids, I knew we had something special. Matt was Matt. Great guy. Class act and gave his heart and soul every game he played. Gonna miss those two next year!!!

 

[dukiejay]

Two great kids. Really great kids.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

The season isn't over but I already miss these guys!!!

 

[Showenuff]

I love'm both! They will be missed!

 

[GARY4plus3]

Enjoyed watching these two carve out playing time and eventually become starters. Tough, scrappy, winners in my book. 4-5 years giving everything they have to the program. Thanks!

 

[skysdad]

Just don't shoot Matt unless you're gonna make right guys. OFC

 

[timo0402]

Two great ambassadors for Duke. Thank you!

 

[pisgah101]

Loved amile since he signed and I've come to respect Matt a ton! Thank you guys for giving us ALL you had and even an extra year! Let's win 1 more ring!!!

 

[BlueDevilWildcat]

Other than his shooting, dribbling and passing, it's really hard not to love Matt Jones, he's definitely at the top of my list of guys I'm glad graduated.

You're a loser.

 

[TheDude1]

Two great kids. Will especially miss Amile... Always loved him, especially since he gave me one of my favorite Duke moments... The triple take in the Bahamas or wherever it was when that Ms Whatever walked by

This has no place here. I'm not saying they don't exist, but I have yet to meet a Duke Law or Business grad with any class. When we played Fuqua in IM baskerball as an undergrad, I remember thinking they were all scumbag egocentric jerks. I hate painting with a broad brush, because there are good corporations and law firms out there, but comments like these are very telling. You bash a player that helped us to a title on senior night. Pathetic.

 

[dukiejay]

You're a loser.

Stupid people say stupid things. Give him a break.

 

[dbav]

Thank you seniors!

The defense that Matt and Amile provided in the NC game were crucial and helped get us #5.

 

[Laettner]

My favorite memories(to date) of these two:

Amile: Utah Sweet 16 in 2015, our young guys are noticeably nervous & Amile comes in to dominate the boards and play suffocating defense. Also, locks down Kaminsky for 8 mins in national title game.

Matt: Monster offensive performance vs Gonzaga in 2015 Elite 8. Dancing on the podium with Justise after winning the NC.

You truly are an idiot.

 

[stroke the post]

Amile Jefferson is everything that is right with college basketball and being a great student/athlete.

One of my 10 favorite Duke players in my lifetime.

 

[Mac9192]

When their careers are over, like them or not, they got the most out of their talents. Not every kid can say that.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Thanks Matt and Amile, you honored the Duke name and legacy. Now finish strong!

I cannot put into words how much it means to me as a fan to have dedicated 4 (or 5) year players in our program. It's everything I love about college basketball.

Go Duke!

Alan

 

[QC Dukie]

You saw the coaches hugging Amile and Matt after they came out. You can see how much they meant to them AND the Duke program. I'm gonna miss those guys.

 

[MyDudeG_rivals]

The idiots happy they're graduating are going to be some of the first people that wish they were back next season. The important of glue guys in the rotation is evident on every level of competition in basketball. These two guys are the definition of Duke basketball. They will be missed tremendously!

Just stop. I was having fun. Matt has a heart of gold and I'll always love that about him.

 

[Dahntay#1]

I have never been a big fan of Matt Jones to say the least but he still put on a Duke uniform for 4 years so I have to respect that. Thank you for what you did against Gonzaga.

Amile, thanks for always playing hard and giving everything you had. My best memories of him will be the enthusiastic and playful post game interviews he always gave. Always a must watch for me.

 

[nets on nets on nets]

Matt and Amile: You guys ARE Duke Basketball.

 

[germantondevil]

The one thing I love the most about these two. Two more seniors graduating and hanging that diploma in there homes right beside the big National Championship ring they both earned at Duke. I love seeing seniors leave with that ring strapped on that finger. Best of luck with all of your dreams and goals. I have a feeling they will still be running up and down the court somewhere between here and abroad.

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Matt hit 2 big corner 3's his frosh year against Alabama when the game was tight iirc....2 guys that will def be missed and much more appreciated when they are gone...I am still missing seeing Lance Thomas at the top of the key pressuring pgs
