True, he is a one and done player. Next year this time he will be declaring for the NBA. But his point is valid: Duke went all Calipari in their approach. They will lose multiple players for the NBA and their class will be top rated again next year, and they will fail to make the final four again. You cannot win with all freshmen.
That's what folks were saying about the previous class. They weren't simply looking at them as a bridge class ("You guys just keep us afloat til we get more talented players next year").
So Duke is only looking to recruit role players to be available for practice against Flagg, Bongo, et al. That's an interesting pitch.
Flagg would start on every single college basketball roster next season. Every player knows that. He's a one and done, penciled in starter for next year. Duke will have to bring guys in from the portal, but they will all 100% know that Flagg is starting.
He'd almost certainly be the #1 pick in this year's draft if he was eligible. He may have chose poorly for his 1 and done school, but he'll be legit.
Will they tell Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson that their job is to give the Class of 24 a good look in practice?
No, because most of the class of 24 will be in the NBA. They have something like 4 projected one and done lottery picks in the class of 24, so those guys declare and Boozer replaces them
Some weird cosplay going on at your place, dude.
Yeah, that's what they tell every class.

Completely agree. Precisely the scenario that adds more value to the selection. Does Scheyer actually want these players to leave?
I am probably the only one on here who ever saw him pitch. My son played against him when he was at St. John's. He was decent in high school but he didn't blow people away. But the last time I saw him he was just a sophomore in high school. I don't know if he played baseball at Worcester Academy.
It was posted sarcastically in response to a series of posts about Duke's recruiting, their stockpiling recruits and the fact that they can only play 5 players at a time and there is still only one basketball. But read all the posts.
