That gives Duke 3 top 100 players for the class of 2024. Nice job Kara.

Rats!

Rats!

Time to go after Bryn McGaughy

 

[ec33]

Let's hope it was Strong's commitment that made her look elsewhere.

 

[Hayven]

She obviously enjoys her spring breaks. So, with Duke’s postseason play the past decade, she will be free for spring break

Congrats Triad. Kara Lawson seems to be doing great things at Duke. I’m disappointed that we lost out on Ms. Roberson, but I’m happy she chose the school she thinks best suits her. Congrats again!

Rumor has it, she committed to Duke because Cooper Flagg will be there for the same year before being drafted into the NBA, after which time she will transfer to UConn. Okay, it is not a rumor, it is just typical BY fodder. It could come true, right???

 

[CAbballfan2]

Everyone can just take this as Kara’s payback for the times she lost to UConn in the final four during her time at Tennessee. LOL

 

[NYCHUSKIES]

Her choice makes sense to me. Just my opinion, maybe a Duke degree was also a factor. That's why I give so much credit to all the young women who ever accepted a Uconn scholarship to play basketball. It takes guts and pure heart to come into this culture, buy into the system, and constantly perform at the highest level every night. Best of luck to Roberson, Kara, and Duke.

Agree. I also think people forget that Kara inherited a terrible program….like a complete disaster. She has made progress. You don’t turn a program around over night. It takes time and it takes getting recruits like Arianna and Toby that want to be apart of the team that keeps elevating them. Some players like that challenge. And want to be the group that takes a school to that next level.

A Duke 4 or 5 transferring to UConn? It could come true. Don’t laugh too hard. It has happened twice that I can recall. Brittany Hunter and Azura Stevens transferred from Duke to UConn.

Those transfers were in the pre-Lawson era. That was a different world for Duke WBB.

 

[Dove]

Ahhhhh, well.

 

[Boreifs]

I have one word in response: Jana.

 

[darrell]

Months if you include Toby Fournier. I’d have taken her in a heartbeat.

 

[ec33]

They can have their fall recruiting victories and we will keep our spring victories on the court.

 

[Bald Husky]

Bummed again. Those NC schools beating us at the eleventh hour.

 

[Rowdy831]

UConn has a lot of really good young talent with several others coming soon so any player that picks UConn and wants to actually play is going to have to have some serious game. Losing out on any player isn't a loss to UConn because in the end they weren't what UConn looks for as far as commitment to the program so I think all is well.

 

[JellyBean]

Congrats, Coach Lawson & Triad. This was a nice haul for Duke and Coach.

 

[Ozimoto]

So be it. On to the next one.

And this arse whipping... The one that means the most.
