My son went to Duke. He was recruited to run track and cross country. The campus was beautiful but so are a lot other campuses. He was running on the streets in Durham when someone in passenger side of a car intentionally threw something at him. It struck him just below the eye. He was lucky could have lost an eye. So point being Durham is still a tough area. As far as academically (and I'm not making this up) he spent little time going to class yet made dean list every semester. Granted he is a smart kid. He was absolved by me for going to Duke when he went to UConn law.

Same it’s Peloton for me. Roads are too scary. I’d say it’s uncommon not to see someone on their phone during traffic lights. Even while driving it’s quite common in the Boston area.
Ebikes on the sidewalks are dangerous too. Down here in FL I have seen bikers texting while biking as well, that and dogwalkers with extendo leashes, baby carriages, joggers and plenty of us old timers who can't hear walking on sidewalks make sidewalks no place for ebikes
No doubt, they are very dangerous. Lots of people are riding them as a primary mode of transportation and the roads are a death wish, forcing them onto the sidewalk. I'm just not hearing people complaining about it, which is surprising. People used to freak out about bikes on the sidewalk around here. I think people are beginning to accept that busy Florida roads are no place for a bike, especially in the age of texting.
Some juice on El Flaggerino and Mr. Hurley's attendance at his latest showcase:
Cooper Flagg leads an elite trio, LeBron plays coach and more from Nike's Peach Jam
The Boozer twins and AJ Dybantsa were among the standouts at the signature grassroots event of the summer.theathletic.com
Coach K being gone has to take some of the shine off Duke tho right? Like what has Scheyer done to earn these kids? He had 3 of the top 7 recruits last year. #1 class in the country…in a down ACC…and was a 5th seed.
You mean the guy that won a national championship, wound up good enough to leave school early to get drafted, and has now received an NBA contract?
No clue on the when or where but as to the why most likely the national championship(and the fifth to boot), three players from that team making money playing in the NBA who developed considerably while at UConn. Two players projected as lottery picks next year. Plus a top five freshman class on campus. Plus every player and recruit making superlative statements about practices and the coaches. Plus having one of the best if not the best coaching staffs in the nation. Plus having the dairy barn and a strong NE campus flavor should appeal to a once in a generation player from Maine. And last but not least UConn has tremendous fan support.
Everything you've said is absolutely true.. As a fan.. It is extremely gratifying to see UConn gaining ground after it has been assumed that Cooper was a Duke lock--at least by the media.. And our staff's activity/focus suggests that they are encouraged by what they're hearing--through whatever channels they're getting their info from....That's all I'm saying..
