He learned from the best cheater in history.DE S
Duke has traditionally played strong out-of-conference schedules. For the past 15-20 years though K has abandoned the true home-and-home games. Why that would drive then nuts is one thing, but to suggest we play a soft OOC schedule? Facts suggest otherwise. They hate facts.
I have a top-secret inside source from THR that tells me the eye test is more relevant than facts.
You guys have probably never heard of him because he rarely frequents the Duke boards.
I am confused because hof coach Roy Williams only recruits players who wants to stay in college for multiple years but the THR crowd wants them to go after Bamba.I am pretty sure he has stated that he is an oad.How can this be?
This is Wendell Carter's response to a question asked by a reporter at the Peach Jam. Let's see, a great academic school and one that gets him to the next level. Guess Carolina is definitely out. Lol.
What would be some factors in your decision, whenever you do decide?
"The first thing is it has to be a great academic school. Second thing, a school that takes me in and let's me use them instead of them using me. A school that helps me get to the next level instead of making their school look good. And then just a great relationship with the coaches."

What Would Jesus Do posted:
"Personally I have always liked it that the average player for Roy blossoms in his junior year. Sure, that may scare away most OADs, but it should also appeal to those players who know they need some time and coaching to develop. So we get high quality players who are less ready out of the gate but willing to learn and improve. That produces solid, experienced teams."
Yet another rationalization as to them not getting the elite recruits. They actually like it better, ya know, watching the average player "blossom" under Roy. LOLLL.

Funny one at RR. Yeah, I bet Cal and his staff do no negative recruiting at all....Ha haaa. Another goofball acting as if he knows this for fact.
"Cal recruits more than any other head coach. He is involved more than anyone. A lot of head coaches just come in and seal the deal. That's why Cal is ahead of the curve. And our staff doesn't negative recruit like other assistants."

Good old gary responding to dadika.

I think we have a real shot with Bamba after listening to how he talks about Carolina. Not sure why people are so pessimistic about his recruitment here.
"Maybe because too many on here rely on dookies for their "information"..."

This at RR from "EdHochuli'striceps" or whatever. Saying Steph and Klay are probably the best 2 s of all time?? And then stating you would need two Jordan's, two Pippen's and NERLENS freaking Noel to guard Golden State. The UK homer comparing Noel to two of the all time great defenders. Sweet Jesus.
"green shot 39% from 3 last year, and has always had extreme basketball intelligence
iguodala won't start, but his ability to drive & kick is like having another high level point guard on the floor
oh and then curry is the greatest shooter in the history of the sport, thompson is probably top 5 (and maybe 2nd), and durant is a career 27 ppg scorer on 38% shooting from 3 going from playing with a pseudo-1 ballstopper to a team that defines pace and space
this will be the best offensive team ever put on the floor. four guys you have to run off the line, all of whom are borderline top 10 players in league
you need two jordans, two pippens, and nerlens noel to guard them."

Now that's funny. I don't care who you are. Question to mods? Is gary allowed to post here? If so I would love to have him as a special guest poaster here and see his insight up close. We here at D.I. don't have anyone that is quite like him.

Had this in another thread but meant to put it here.
imjericho. Wishful thinking or what? Ha ha.
"Bamba sounds not interested in Duke."

So this thread has become dick posting stupid *** gifs and unc 92 liking every one of them. Cool.
Dips**t gary responding to Archer asking why they haven't offered guard Mark Coleman yet:
"Arch, as you know I've wondered the same thing, and after asking around I've heard there may be some non-basketball "issues" there --- which of course could range from undesirable AAU stuff, to academic stuff, or merely small snags -- I couldn't get a definitive answer, so take that as speculative grapevine material. If Roy offers that will tell me that any issues have been worked out. I hope that is the case."
Of course it could be "undesirable AAU stuff" to "academic stuff" (LOL). Also love how gary has always been "asking around" to all his secret "sources." Jesus, what a trip that goofball is.

You can make fun of me all you want. But lay off the memes. I'm generally known as one of the best meme poasters in the Rivals network. I've received all kinds of awards and recognition. Here's a sample:
Haha, doesn't have definitive info so he makes up 3 things. Nice.
The thought of the fact that this thing will probably be our next President makes me sick. I have never seen an election year with two more ridiculously horrible candidates. God help us all.
I WILL NOT vote for that witch. Gotta go with the lesser of two evils. With all that is going on now, could be a very interesting four years coming up. Scary times ahead.

It's hard putting a face on people online. That's just the face that pops up in my mind when I try to vision what gunslingerdick looks like.
Very original and witty fella here at Rupp Rafters:
"If Puke fielded a team of midgets, ESPN would praise coach K for adapting to small ball . They are not allowed to write negative things about Rat-face or Puke. Just watch the hype the give Gayson "the Tripper" Allen this year to try to get him the player of the year award , it will be sickening."
Yeah, everyone has it out for the UK s***hole. Wow.

Someone called Cowtown Cat at RR. Trying to convince himself that Duke will be nothing to worry about. He says, "Not worried about Duke at all, to be honest." Well, I doubt that you are truly being honest. Ha.
"I believe Duke has a very suspect perimeter defensive team heading into the season. I think they would have a very difficult time staying in front of the UK guards if the two teams were to matchup in the tournament. Not worried about Duke at all, to be honest."

Anyone who thinks this Duke team will be anything but great is an absolute idiot. Even if Giles knee were to have issues , we're going to be crazy good.
gary:
"One caveat in that is that Ayton is another one of these elite kids with "questionable" HS histories, and Roy won't touch that. KU, uk and AZ are the usual suspects with guys like that."
As if Roy would even have a shot at Ayton. And I am also willing to bet Roy would try his *** off to get him in if Ayton wanted to go there.

Obviously Duke would be that much better if Giles were completely healthy. Not trying to say they'd be just as good without him. But even without him on the roster, Duke would be very good. Some UK fans have a weird obsession with downplaying other teams as if it builds their team up. There is a thread on the CBB where a Kentucky fan listed his top ten draft picks for next year. He only added commentary and question marks on two players out of the ten and surprise surprise, Giles and Tatum. Because we all know that every UK recruit will live up to expectations and none of them have any question marks regarding their development.
That aprticular poster has one that recently with most of Dukes guys. I noticed his list as well. Pretty funny stuff.
Tillman just committed to the Illini so I guess gary will announce that he was right about his vague announcement that they were losing ground on one of there targets.Easy to be right when you make open ended predictions like that
If we're fortunate to keep everyone healthy, then I agree with Show. This team's gonna be great!
Some Willy4UK guy at RR. For months I have been hearing them over there talking about how glad they are not to have Tatum because he is a HUGE ball hog. Seems like just another bulls**t thing for them to claim they are sooo "glad" he didn't join Cal's circus. Ha ha, they would have been thrilled to land him. Sour grapes. Yeah, no way that K will be able to have him conform with a team full of kids equally as talented he is. Wishful thinking, UK. And several notches below the Most?! Lol. The delusion is very strong over there.
"Yeah, Duke is several notches below UK, yet we always have duke fans over here trying to tell us what's up. it doesn't work that way. Tatum is an overrated ball hog. Allen has the worst attitude since Marshall Henderson. Giles is a broken mule, and Frank Jackson isn't a point guard. But if you listen to duke fans, their program is always above the 1992 Dream Team."
