We could argue all day about whether UVa or Duke have been better over the last 10 years, but it doesnāt change the fact that if Duke doesnāt win the title in the next 2 years, it might be the biggest waste of talent in quite some time. Actually win itā¦not get close.

The CBS podcast (I think it was this week?) talked about Dukeās dominant high school recruiting and whether it was even a good thing in this day and age of the transfer portal. An interesting discussion.

There are times when @norfolk_hoo can be a little more pessimistic on cue, but I dont think this is one of those times. I think heās just saying such because the topic at hand is āwhy do 5 stars keep buying the duke hypeā which is because of their consistent success even if you could also argue that itās underachieving at the same time with all the talent they hoard (which then maybe ignites the debate around our talent advantage over our first round opponents). In order for Duke to die they have to go down the UNC struggle fest which doesnāt seem to be the case so far.
So in Summary: Fuck Duke and now maybe Im coming around to TJ Power transfering here since heās 24 and would be a good stop gap between him transitioning to Cofie at the 4.
Rohde McKneely Bond Power Buchanan, Gertrude 6th man playing starter minutes, Dante as change of pace 10-15 minutes fighting off Bliss and Robinson energy and tenacity

Noticed that too LMAO. I love that as of now we have no idea how this dude is gonna turn out for us, so far this offseason heās gone from solid wing starter to a future All-Conference player to not as good as Bond and our first guy off the bench to our PG of the future.
I wouldnāt be surprised with any of those outcomes FWIW, but if I had to guess Harris and Bliss will be handling most of the PG duties next year lol.

Ye I think heās a point guard and heās better on ball. He was the only one outside reece creating at the scrimmage.
Him and Gertrude had a few assists/creating open shots for others who missed

Didnāt Dunn have like 5 assists kind of out of nowhere?

thatās right. So convince Dunn he needs another year to transition to full time pg

The reason we are talking about dook is because they just landed another recruit. There is another thread that also posts about other commits for other teams so itās not just one sided.
However someone always feels the need to āJump Circle Defendā the dookies, whenever itās brought up, moreso than defend UVa in comparisonā¦I smell a Rat.

I actually have been thinking that is Dunnās goal.(be a point guard)
His handle has improved significantly based on what little video Iāve seen and heās a good passer He may be the next Magic

Isaiah evans probably
edit: the comments are on it too. Many thought it would be immediately after flagg announced.
edit2: strolled through Duk247. Yeah its evans. And we have no shot lol. I know Vandross went to check him out once or twice last spring.
98% evans. 2% Kon with Scheyer still going hard after edgecombe

Yeah, I saw that too. Wasnāt assuming there would be a trickle down effect for us, but more along the lines of #Brotherhood, lol

The benefit of evans would have been burying Power even more.
