Once again, despite the usual preseason hype, featuring the usual glut of 4 and 5* recruits (Filipowski, McCain, Stewart, Foster, Schutt, Mitchell, etc., etc.), Duke is NOT in the national championship conversation. After losing to Wake yesterday, they're 21-6, second in the ACC.

So I wonder if CF is having second thoughts about spending his one-and-done year in Durham, watching us compete for another NC, while his only focus will be trying to help Jon Scheyer save his job.
 
Fingers crossed. But if we pulled off the repeat what are the chances any of our touted underclass men te insider the draft for a three peat? Donavan. Alex. Castle? Just dreaming.
 
I’d love to show him in the tournament, beat them in the elite 8 if they can even make it that far

We should stop this. If he cared about wins and losses he would have already chosen us. He doesn't. Move on. Don't be pathetic.

We didn't have him last year and we won it all.
We don't have him this year and we're #1.
We wont have him next year, and we'll be fine.

One year after that no one will have him. Life will go on.

He chose elsewhere - that’s fine, but I don’t want him. Is he so good that he could be a ballpark Donyell sophomore season as a freshman? I don’t know, but find that hard to fathom. And I don’t want many freshman 1& sones, no matter what.

Lower your Flagg. That ship has sailed. He went for the hugs, relationships and the baby.

who wants a kid at UConn that's not all in on UConn...he wants Duke. He wants the espn daily hype machine for 5 months and to be pampered by adoring dookies...all the while protected by his "handlers" hovering over staff. Too high maintenance for Dan Hurley & UConn.

Yes. We are the best program in the country right now. We don't need to beg for recruits. I understand that it's a reflex from the Ollie era but last year should've erased this feeling. Has the staff let us down yet?? Not once.

You don't know any of that. UConn may have been a close #2. It's unlikely he wants to be pampered, if he did he never would have put in the work to become so good at basketball. These kinds of posts are very distasteful.
 
Rejection has been hard to accept but it was between the 2 schools. I bet there are plenty of other schools that cried over the loss of some of our best players that they were in the hunt for.

Wouldn’t it be a riot if CF entered the transfer portal without playing one game for Duke.

That's a good record and they were ranked in the Top 10. They're going to be between a 2-4 seed (likey a 3), which means they'll have a shot at a title. Wake doesn't suck—they're a Top 20 KenPom team.

Stop the madness.

Good christ it’s like there’s a bunch of 12 yo’s in here waiting for their crush to call.

Such a pathetic look - wish the kid well and act like UConn is a championship program like it is for f’s sale.
 
Spending all my nights, all my money, goin' out on the town
Doin' anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
And tryin' to forget you is just a waste of time

Cooper come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Cooper come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Tryin' to keep up a smile that hides the tears

But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Cooper come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Cooper come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
