The biggest recruiting upset ever for Duke was UK losing to Wisconsin in 2015 to go 38-1. Failed to give Duke the chance to beat UK in the national title game.
Biggest shocking recruiting upset ever for duke?

It goes both ways you know.
1. The embarrassment of riches duke had this year was only one thing, an embarrassment. Don't use the injury excuse either that team had. They had no business losing in the second round. Pot meet kettle.
2. When you get a team that wins 38 straight and loses in the final four after playing a strong schedule all year then you might have a better argument.
3. Trolling isn't your strong suit. I didn't start a thread blasting anyone, just asking a simple question but there's always one poster on her monthly that has to chime in. Please log off take your pamprin and answer the question in 5 days. It was a question about individual players and recruiting nothing I said in my op suggested anything but respect.
To all the others who have answered no disrespect but jwilma decided she would be funny and it was a horrible trolling attempt.
How much longer do we let this fkng joke troll post here? Seriously.
You're an idiot. Leave.
Not much longer. I promise.
I know I'm not the most popular person on the duke board but I was trying to have a legit honest conversation. I was not trying to be disrespectful whatsoever. I've posted here for a while and I don't come over here are trolll like the cheats do. I have been respectful and nice to everyone. I know I won't win this argument but I asked about a certain topic and the above poster decided to take a cheap shot. Hindsight is 20/20. Should I of overlooked it? Probably, but I didn't. As I said before I'm not here trolling I'm just talking hoops with you guys and in no way was I trying to start an argument. I could understand if I atarted a bunch of troll threads or bashed duke fans on your own board all the time but that wasn't the case. I apologize for any misconceptions that others would think I'm here to troll and cause problems, just here to talk to another fan base that is as passionate about basketball as uk fans are
I live out in Washington and Brockman was a beast. He really could have helped us during those years. He stayed all 4 years. Still surprised me didn't do better in the NBA; he was a ferocious rebounder and he even injured some Huskies in practice by accident.
Barnes.
Don't know how shocking Knox is to some people. I know I didn't care if he came to Duke or not. Only recruit I want is Duval and I would trade 3 Knox's for him.
Biggest reaction forum wise was Bolden though. Rupp Rafters was pages and pages of UK "insiders" and fans promising Bolden to UK. Heck They even said they heard he was decommitting from Duke after and still going to UK.

Get this through your head....it's not because you're a U.K. fan. It's because you're you. This is a Duke board. You don't get to tell our posters anything about trolling on this board. You're going to read comments you don't like here....lighten up! Ignore them.
Now, I know you're not smart enough to understand any of what I just said, but know I'm cheering you.
I have seen on Rupp Rafters you absolutely dog Duke and say how bad you hate them, so why would you come here to talk about Duke?
I am born and raised in Kentucky and when a friend or family member starts talking about Kentucky basketball, I change the subject or get up and walk away because of my hatred for Kentucky basketball.
Strong schedule, are you high? Just wondering. Anyone who plays majority of SEC teams doesn't have a strong schedule. UK squeaked by a decent Notre Dame team, by what, 2 points? Then lost to Wisconsin. They struggled against teams that were barely above average, then ran into a better Wisconsin team. Duke would have buried UK in the title that year. We all know what you guys do, you come here and try to start a civil conversation and then you go to your hilarious excuse of a forum board and say 'Duke fans think Knox is over rated now", etc.
Basically same situation. Born and raised there, and pretty much they whole family is UK fans(Minus my Mom, Brother, and Me who all went to Duke). I go a little different route, I like to act like UK is beneath Duke, it really drives them up a wall. Like when they start talking about UK recruiting, I ask are we going to talk about EKU and WKU recruiting next? Since they are bringing up mid major recruiting.
