I don’t disagree but it sure seems like foster is staying and they’re all in on Blackwell.
I was more saying when they are announced but I feel you are correct.
Yeah give me Blackwell even if that means no Foster. Blackwell can go out and get you 20-25 almost on any given night. I love Caleb and him doing what he did in the Sweet 16 will always go down as an unbelievable moment, but Blackwell gives us that scoring we really need. Just my opinion
As much as I hate to admit it, I agree. I love Foster, so that’s what makes it harder to admit.
I will take Foster!! For what he did for the team in March is enough for me!! I want to go to war with him.
Guys:
There are 4 guards spots, 4 of Cayden, Foster, Evans, Rippey Jr, Blackwell will occupy the 4 spots.

Not trying to be argumentative, but we have 2 guard spots, maybe 3 in small doses. That’s Cayden, Rippey, Howard, Foster? and possibly Blackwell.
You’re also asking two 5 star incoming freshmen (Rippey and Howard) to put Duke above themselves. Maybe it can work.
Maybe and I agree with you Mac . Maybe these freshman want a NC at all cost and want to go to war with this team . Could Duke be looking at its first recruiting class under Scheyer that wants everyone to return and hit the court ? Maybe, and I don’t know but just maybe these recruits are team first. I’d like to see a group of players come out with a purpose 1-9 .
no offense taken at all Mac, you are good.
I look back to the 23-24 team where Roach, Proctor, McCain, and Foster all split time starting throughout the season.
I Firmly Believe Duke is a program where time on the court is Earned.
I believe the only difference with this comparison is the 23-25 team started 3 guards. Next year team would hopefully have Sarr starting at the 3 spot
Blackwell will be a Bruin, he wants to play in LA where it’s warm and hot women everywhere: ). Duke can go get Diop or another $5m dollar Center. But things are Fluid.i want you all to embrace this word…
Get your heart ripped out in a flukey finish and you jump ship to join them? F him, what a soft @SS decision.
Nik... Public enemy #1. Hope we somehow schedule them next season and see Sarr lock his a$$ up
Kick him out of the Brotherhood...this is betrayal
How much $$ does averaging 6pts, 3 rebounds and 34% from 3 and 67% from the FT line get you these days? 4 Million? lol

Yeah not often I say this about a 19 year old kid but ZERO respect for Nik. Hurley is an a**hole
Don’t waste Sarr on him. Let Sarr guard someone good.
I see we are picking up predictions for PF from Blemont. 6’9 kid who looks like he can really rebound. I assume a depth move but I wonder if that takes us out for Graves.
I’ve not seen him play but I’m thinking he’s a practice player with a few minutes here and there.
Most noticeable stat to me is his 43% FT.
I don’t think this has anything to do with Graves…

I'm not complaining about who Duke has coming in, even if the only thing I know about 3 of them is they're 5 stars. It seems hard though that a really good big will want to come and back up Pat. Now if Duke does get a really good big from the portal, and signs a good shooting guard/small forward, what does that do to your incoming freshmen, or even Caleb?
Is this right as of now?
Pat, Williams, Meyer, Sarr, Wilkens, Caleb, Cayden, Rippey, and Howard

Yeah I’d guess depth too, don’t think he’s a regular contributor but he was 1st team all conference so he’s not Jack Scott type of guy
Especially since most mock drafts have graves going lottery to early first round .

I'm going to keep my comments on Nik to myself. Because right now I might say something I will regret saying about a kid. But **** uconn and Dan Hurley.
Mullins returning to Uconn for his Sophomore season.
I don’t like uconn, but they are going 2 be good again

Literally don’t know what went into Nics commitment but if yall don’t think negative recruiting was used I don’t know what to say .
Wasn't Braylon Mullins late lottery or something close? Wtf does Hurley do to get guys to come back year after year?
Idk but it's working. Seems like we are getting guys back we will find out this week. Sarr and Pat are key.

Just my opinion here, but I think it’s two fold. First, no one in UConn’s system is made “the priority.” Hurley runs a system designed for multiple options to be available. Mullins struggled at times during the season. But, he did lose freshmen in back to back seasons to the nba, and lost Reibe? to the portal.
Second, Hurley told Mullins he would profit more by coming back for a 2nd season.
Man let’s not let Blackwell leave without committing. He can be that high volume scorer this team will need. Get it done, Jon.
