Bolden staying for second year
- Thread starter vcugreg
- Start date
Well the kid is actually staying apparently. I guess everyone who was so quick to right the kid off still wants him to leave. Hopefully he, Frank, GA, and Kennard can lead Duke back to promised land.Go Duke!!!
If true man its great news, i hope he busts his butt this off-season and him and carter turn into a force down-low
I can't stand him. He started all this last night and then looked like the idiot he is when his sources were crap so who knows
I hope all y'all crying that you wanted him gone feel like crap. I hope he destroys it this year because he's certainly capable
If true, again I say, if true, this makes more sense. A player who thought of himself as a 1 & done then transferring...thus locking himself into 3 years of college...well, that didn't seem to be the best course of action. I think he probably had a lot of 'voices' pushing him to leave Duke.
We've had some players that thought about transferring, and decided to stick it out...and it worked out pretty good for them and Duke. Here's to hoping we have a repeat of that.
Anyway, whatever happens, the best of luck to Mr. Bolden.
Oh, and yes, I'm glad he's decided on staying (if he does).
OFC
We will see if he is capable or not...no reason to think he isn't but also no proof so far he will either
Time will tell
Also if true and we bring back Luke and or Grayson with the other guys that will be here we're starting to look like a real team that can win it all. Good experience and good talent coming in. Next year could be the perfect balance
He staying and roughing it out apparently that should tell people he's not as lazy and un-interested as so many state
Yeah that will prove it to everyone lol
Maybe he thought"I'm not sitting out an entire year"....we will see if his motor is better next year or not
I just saw a post from Duke Men'a Basketball Facebook page that Bolden is returning to Duke next year and a quote from Bolden saying "I'm ready to get to work for next season

This! He knows he has to bring it, because he can't afford not to after what happened his freshman year. A non-fighter would have cut and run.

Sporting news has Duke ranked number two in the way too early preseason top 25 for next year behind Arizona.
I think Bolden will become a dominant player next season. It just takes some freshmen longer to adjust to the college game as well as the college experience. We will probably see a much happier player next year. Time will tell.
I hope some of you feel stupid now after tearing Ques apart. He struggled this year, yes, but could be a pivotal piece to Duke's success next year.
nothing to do with Bolden and his decision.....nice try though.
Capel said Bolden played good enough to be a regular season starter before he got injured. I think this kid has a ton of potential!
Must be true if it was on Twitter. Say what? The rumor of his leaving was circulated on Twitter yesterday? I'm beginning to think people who tweet stuff are full of shite.
I'm excited! If he can improve his offensive game even a little bit, he will contribute quality minutes next season!
Is Knox announcing this week because it seems like I read he was going to move his decision up after the week of the McDonald's AA game?
People here HATE him? My God grow up...people have opinions about him and you think that means they hate the guy? You are clueless pal
Glad to have him back. Saw so much potential earlier in the year. He made the correct decision. Can't wait to see him at full strength and with some meaningful minutes
Porter jr. convinced him to visit Missouri and I believe that is the 8th and 9th so don't know when he is announcing.
Never been happier to be wrong. Good on the kid, way to face adversity and not run away from it. Big step for the young man.
If true probably the best path for him. He knows exactly what the staff expects. He doesn't sit a year and now is the time for him to nail down a starting position . OFC
I'll tell you what could be the perfect balance. UNC wins tonight (barf), gets stripped of two titles. They then lose their seniors and at least Jackson to the draft and do bad enough to lose in the NIT like in 2010 and also as in that year, Duke wins the natty next year. It's like the 2010 season on steroids!
