I’m just here to provide perspective. Duke has an abundance of talent and resources. You guys should be winning Nattys. If my perspective helps you win one, I’ve done a good deed. Helping those most fortunate, with the most resources, etc. I feel like I’m helping the Dodgers get over the hump when Friedman was being stupid. Now we won back 2 back titles thx to Yoda: )). Next, is Duke winning another Natty. Unless it’s beating ucla. Then it’s no bueno.
It feels like the Flip year in terms of getting multiple guys back. Which was good in theory but guys like Mitchell regressed. I would still prefer to get guys back. Give me Pat, Sarr, Foster and Cayden and a few portal vets and we're good to go.
I got it guys , Duke is reaching out to every player that has eligibility remaining and seeing who could come back . Heard Carey Jr and Okafor are going through the process of being cleared , Hurt and keels are seeing what their NIL value is worth, Rodney Hood is thinking and So is Parker . Man , talk about dipping into the pros . Oh we’re still talking about the portal 
Here’s my offer to all of you, I’ll bet you a dinner for 2 anywhere in Socal if you can get here, and Duke wins a Natty before my Bruins do. And if I win, you buy me dinner and the best restaurant nearby Duke, if that’s where you live. That’s how confident I am that my Bruins will shock the world and bring home a Natty in my lifetime I hope. lol. Let’s go Duke fans.
I couldn’t give 2 ***** about your offer. Your troll game sucks and you’re a basketball moron.
No troll game at all. Like I said. I have no problems with Duke. I admire the Duke program and wish ours could recruit 1/2 the elite stars Dukes attracted. As far as all your anger goes, I will only say…
Hurley is arguably the best coach in College bball, so it wouldn’t shock me, but he looks more like a return to Duke or go to Gonzaga kid to me. I guess they could try and turn him into Karaban 2.0? But he looks more like a Gonzaga kid, or maybe SC. I don’t see ucla adding a 5th big forward. I feel like the kid would want to either move closer to home and start, or, go back to Duke.
that 23-24 team received a lot of undeserved flak from this board. The issue with that team is that it lacked a Center.
as a result, Flip had to slide and play the 5 which forced Mitchell to play the 4. The year before Duke had Lively at the 5 so both Flip and Mitchell were able to play their Natural Positions. The 2023-2024 team still Earned an Elite 8 berth upsetting #1 Houston in the tournament before falling to #11 NC State.
Flip Earned All-American Honors the 23-24 season even after dealing with the toxic girlfriend and the criticism from Blue Devil fans.
Yep. Flip at the 4 and that team Wilda had a legit shot at a natty
Just imagine, if you will, Lively returning to be the center of that 23-24 team. We coulda been a contender. We could've been somebody.
I think so too Bleed
Proctor
McCain
Mitchell
Flip
Lively
Roach
Foster

I believe Lively went #2 in the 2023 draft. He also played an integral part as a Rookie for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals.
Apparently Jon is after Graves, the Iowa St kid and Blackwell still per the twitters
