Dook lost Sean Steward...Mass exodus near complete...

We are allowed to feel good when Duke is experiencing turmoil. Maybe send a message to all those 5* who think it's a dream to play for Duke. Not for these 5*'s, they couldn't get out fast enough. Screw Duke.

Some blame should be applied to these 5* recruits. They demand immediate satisfaction, and when they don't get it, they act like a 2 year old who didn't get his cookie. The other group who deserves blame is the NCAA hierarchy, who allowed this whole debacle by enacting the NIL program. The bottom line in all of this is, not surprisingly, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Now they'll try to "correct" this, but the genie is out of the bottle, and any attempts to rein it in will be met with hundreds of lawsuits, claiming that the schools, and the NCAA, are imposing draconian and racist regulations upon the poor "student athletes".

They’re 100% selling out for Flagg, both on the court and marketing. Need new faces to go with him

I would think that it’s hard for a program to turn down 5 stars. Coach K built this with ESPN’s constant media propping up and barrage. Success brought them higher rated players.
Unless you have a very smart coach and staff to negotiate the whole thing it can fail. Don’t count out Duke because when you have this much talent it’s almost hard to not be competitive.

Looking through this thread it’s kinda pathetic that UConn BY has a multi page thread on Duke. We’re above this.

Better Duke than Cuse. Hopefully in the near future Duke gets as much attention as we now give to BCU. And yes once upon a time BCU was the program we focused much of our attention. Time has significantly changed for the better.

Let's revert to college education. No scholarships permitted. Just like DIII.

We’ll have to agree to disagree there. I’ve been on way too many campus tours with my son (a high school junior) and, as much as I mortally hate Duke, it was one of the nicest campuses I’ve seen, faux historical architecture and all. That said, of the top tier unis we’ve visited, it was also the easiest to distinguish legacy kids (party bros and Paris Hilton clones) from the kids who actually deserved to be there.

The buildings which were primarily built 100-130 years ago, look like they were built 800 years ago. But then the interiors look like a typical American high school. The architecture is all mimicry. No architecture in general or in the south in 1900 looked like this. Try UVA's campus if youre looking for a beautiful, meaningful campus.
 
It is very foolish to write off Duke until you see who comes in from the portal. It's almost like a St John's situation where Pitino ran off the whole squad --albeit Scheyer is no Pitino.

They will have great players. It's unknow if they will combine to have a great team.

Agreed.

Last fall I happened to be in Durham the same day College Gameday was there for their football game against Notre Dame so I figured I'd roll through campus to take in the scene. I already hate dook from a distance so I went there with every intention of further fueling my hatred after observing the dookies up close but the opposite came to pass.

Not only were the majority of people super friendly, but I was extremely impressed by the campus and facilities in general. Fake or not, it looks beautiful from the outside and I can see why so many recruits seem to sell their souls to go there. I even got to fist-bump Grant Hill.

My daughter is only six years old but I grudgingly admitted to my wife that I wouldn't exactly hate it if she somehow ended up there as a student...

Your basketball team still sucks dookies!

Not to worry. The beer and pizza threads are much longer. Priorities matter.

Train wreck … Duke is +1200 to win the natty, pays less than UConn.
 
Duke is gonna turn it around with Mason Gillis’ 6 points and 4 rebounds. That should do it. He was so invisible in the championship game I had to look up if he actually played. 0 points 4 rebounds on the biggest stage.

In all candor, it was appropriate to refer to the school as duKe when the program was run by Krzyzewski. Now that they're run by Scheyer, it would be more approriate to refer to them as duSche.

0 points 0 assists 4 rebounds 0 steals 0 blocks. That is a pretty impressive stat line when you play 24 minutes in a National Championship game

He’s actually a nice player off the bench for them. Good news for Mason is there aren’t any teams like UConn in the ACC for him to worry about. His numbers will probably be more like 6/5 if Scheyer even finds him:eek:
