Did the other guys that you mentioned get offers in the summer before their senior year? Usually when a low-ranked recruit signs that late, it's because a coach is desperate to fill some spots. They are there for bench insurance. When he signs them early on, they are a guy that coaching staff wants and expects to be a part of the rotation. None of the other aforementioned players were in the rotation, but I suspect Platek will be by his sophomore year. And what does that mean? Probably that UNC's talent level won't be up to the normal standards. But hey, maybe Platek will prove us all wrong and drop 30 on Duke.

"The response is that K is just evil and is somehow forcing his way there, not that anyone actually wants him there."

Yes, K is the devil on Earth and they are sooooo glad they have a straight arrow guy with morals like Roy. LOL! Jealousy is a *****!

Platek is the savior!!!!! Tar Holes rejoice!!!! Who needs the likes of Carter, Bamba, Knox, Trent Jr. and Quade Green anyways! Not the Tar Holes after the Platek commit...

So you have less of a problem with us signing him and more of a problem with when we signed our recruit? That makes sense. I analyze the recruiting timeline for other schools' programs all the time.


Awesom comeback, Rich. About on par with how a 7th grader would respond.

Getting back on track from the consistent derailment of this thread (10-pages now @timo0402), we've got this gem from DSouth:

"I get where ya coming from thinking we are reaching for a kid outside of the top 150 but this kid is already deserving of being in the top 50, even in this rather strong class."

Yep, this looks like a highlight reel for a top-50 kid...



I seriously haven't been this blown away by a kid's highlight reel since the Luke Maye one those fools were gushing over last year. I need to find that again.

Top 50, huh? Jesus. Just look at that goofy thing. They are so panicked about getting no elite recruits that they are trying to convince themselves that guys like this are big time. Pathetic.

Not even kidding, that is one of the least impressive "highlight" tapes I have ever seen. One of them is of him getting a goaltending bucket?? Geesh. And his release point is VERY low.

I can't find the Luke Maye one, but someone needs to locate it if they have more time to search. I'm not kidding, I think one of the highlights was him doing a bounce pass to a guy that misses the subsequent shot. I've seen better highlights at the YMCA.

Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Hahaha. In the thread titled "?? on Roy's status and rehab", Archer says:
"I hope Coach is doing well."

Hahaha. Those losers! What a pathetic thing to say. Boy has our program fallen.

IMO, it's a fact.

Back on topic...

Another one from DSouth:

On Bamba, yeah duke is trying, they are recruiting the PG that he went to the Peach Jam finals with, they pitching as hard as they can. But I STRONGLY do not believe he will commit to the same school Carter does. 2 electrons can not occupy the same space

Actually, they can. They'll just have opposite spins. Someone get Mr. Scientist a chemistry book.

Courtesy of our resident troll:

I agree that offering Platek this early is a bit of a reach. I don't think we offered Justin Watts or Mike Copeland this early.

Pretty ironic, huh @dukedevilz? Especially after he tried to mock you with this:

So you have less of a problem with us signing him and more of a problem with when we signed our recruit?

Another gem from the village idiot:

Perception is everything. Obviously duke did little to nothing for Irving's development.

Obviously, huh?

You can take any kid who is a decent shooter and make a shooting highlight mix tape of him, where he doesn't miss and make him look awesome.

Wow, the kid never misses and I saw proof in a highlights video! They are so glad to get a recruit, even one who is a top 200 player that they make him sound like a top 10 future NBA player. Forrest Gump's Mother said "stupid is as stupid does", and the THR loonies sound so stupid.

You must have missed my next poast when I mocked the fact that he cared about the timeline on which we recruit our players. I'm a Carolina fan so it stands to reason that I would follow our recruiting and have opinions about it. I don't know the first thing about duke recruiting nor do I care. You'd think someone with a such a vast knowledge of how electrons work would understand the difference.

And troll? C'mon, that's not fair. I like to think of myself as a hero; a social justice warrior working hard to make message boards inclusive and safe for all poasters.

Getting back on topic from the incessant trolling...

Courtesy of @carolinablue34:

Seems like we're recruiting a **** ton of guards and having success but not a whole lot of bigs. ****ing A, are we turning into dook?!?!?

1) They've having success recruiting guards?

2) They should be so lucky.

Very ironic, indeed. And yet Richard seems to think that ridiculing me for making the same assessment is valid because Duke fans shouldn't care about the timeline of Carolina recruits. Essentially saying, "I had the same thought as you - but because you root for another team your judgment is wildly foolish." #thrlogic

Which is supremely ironic considering that a$$hat spends all day on a Duke forum and continually interjects his opinion like it actually has some value.

Thanks! I did it once before, and I think I might keep doing it when appropriate.

And yes, Richard indeed is a walking dichotomy. That's by design, unfortunately.

Gary sounding like Roy talking about Tony Bradley:

TB is in the perfect position for both himself and the team. He could start in most programs, but it is better all around for him to learn and come along at his pace behind the experienced players that we are fortunate enough to have.

With that kind of mindset, I guess it's a good thing Roy is "outworking" all the other coaches for all the elite recruits.

my son was a low mid level player and we made a highlight tape that K would have revoked JJ 'S scholly him if that was was all he looked at. That is why I never pay any attention to high light tapes

Also wishing hof coach roy williams to a speedy and full recovery after his knee surgery. Here's hoping he's fully recovered and good to go come season time. An ice cold Coke and a bowl full of Wanda's "nanner puddin" each day is recommended. OFC

He's going to need something stronger than Coca Cola to prepare for our games next yr....

I am worried that Big Luke Maye and Platelet might end up playing at the same time unless BLM goes pro after this season. I don't know if Duke could overcome that.
