Another gem from the babbling moron in reference to Giles Trollbaby "Yes, he's been to LNWR before but he's never picked a college before. Moving us to his next to last visit has to be a good thing! We are no longer one of the crowd, we are a 50:50 chance now! Would be really nice to get some positive vibes back on this board!"

Realistically his recruitment probably comes down to UK or Duke: Duke because of Tatum being there and the playing time that will be there with Amile and Miles leaving. He may look at UK just because of the mold of big men they've been churning out recently: Towns, Davis, Noel. Giles might see himself as being closer to them in terms of style of play and physique vs a Mason Plumlee or Jahlil Okafor.
It's amusing how they can go from down and out to feeling overly confident in a matter of hours because of something as simple as Giles visiting them "2nd to last". But I guess we shouldn't piss on their parade.
Haha. 2 posts and I got banned from THR.
One was this link http://m.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/guys/expert_wet_dreams.html in response to someone talking about Giles.
The other one was me saying that it was just a joke to one of them that insulted me. Haha.
Hell, I even got a "like" from one of them. I know at least one of them has a sense of humor.

Even funnier, I logged out so I could view the board and saw where the moderator made it seem as if I posted comments and changed the post I did make. And the no balls coward doesn't even identify itself. Just, "was it worth it? ". As if it is a privilege to join their conversations.
It was pretty childish. Obviously you had no intent to add anything of substance...relatively speaking. That would have gotten you banned at many boards, and likely here too.
Once again the best thing we can do is just not post at THR. I know there are a few DI guys that post there and there are no problems but sooner or later you will post something that at the time is going to upset a mod and you will get that coveted tombstone. Sometimes it's best to stay with your own. OFC
Really? I don't really intend to be childish. I could see if I had a history of being childish, but I only made two comments. One just being funny and the other saying it was just a joke. I won't lose any sleep over this, I just don't see where I did something ban worthy. I honestly believe we are better than that as a board. But I will refrain from that from now on.
If you post at THR you need to do so carefully...very carefully. A rival's board can be a minefield...especially one that that is going through the ordeal of a monster scandal.

That's the thing. It's their board. If they want to ban you for just saying hello then it's pretty clear they don't want any Dukies posting there. Remember this. They can ban you even if you don't post there for posting something here and it has happened . But they can't ban you for posting here no matter how much they feel entitled they can't stop you. There are some guys over at THR that I do respect and I believe they know who they are. None of these posters have never been out of line here and have not been banned. That's because of the integrity and common sense of our mods. OFC
Here is what I learned there today:
- Giles is a UNC lock now
- K is desperate for Javin and Gabriel, and neither could ever develop at Duke, but somehow would play starters minutes at UNC even with Giles playing there
- K cannot develop players, ever
- Miles Plumlee was always a "solid" 4-star recruit ( still laughing at this one as he was a 3-star, clearly)
Oh the idiocy.

That's the thing....you only made two comments, which seemed childish at the time. That doesn't give them much to base off for you. Being those were your first two posts they probably surmised it's the kind of poster you would be. It makes the decision to cut ties with you on their board much easier. Had you been a respected poster over there you may have gotten a bit more leeway.
If a rival fan posts here and there first two posts are what you posted, I can tell you that Denn, KVille and I probably aren't giving that guy the benefit of the doubt.
TPFKAPFS with a real head scratcher talking about Roy recruiting Udoka Azubuike:
"The reason for optimism is that Roy is in the young man's home! Roy is a great recruiter and UNC is a beautiful place to play. I believe in our coach and the Tar Heel Way! (I'm not afraid to say it) Only idiots think that if you make a mistake it changes who you are at your core."
A 20+ year academic scandal was a "mistake" apparently.

Well actually I agree with him. Only idiots think that if you make a mistake it changes who you are at your core. He's a cheater at his core...still is. I get it.
Was out sick yesterday and apparently missed a lot of golden nuggets:
from Steat - "Does Duke currently have in the NBA any players with Barnes combination of character, intellect and skills?" Wow.
from DSouthr talking about Maryland v. UNC - "Lets see, they have Trimble and Robert Carter/Suilamon transfers eligible so they have practice time with the team, Stone should not be hard to mix in. Jake leyman is pretty solid as well. But over all I don't see the hype for them, many saying they are the best team in the country? Looks to me like the same ole terps the ACC consistently beat up on that had to run to the Big 10 to be able to win." This genius goes on to predict UNC wins by 12.
and finally, the best of the best from Bur-Heel talking about Kennedy Meeks: “He can play in the NBA today!!” Double wow.

Remember folks....it was DSouthr who just last year said Duke was in for a hard fall after the losses of Parker and Hood. Here's to hoping for another hard fall in 2015-16.
I don't remember that. Pretty funny though. I am not sure about the essay writers opinion on Maryland this year though. They are pretty good and should be in contention all year.
Irony is, is this not the same old unc team that lost 12 games last year and lost arguably their best athlete? Time to take those unc shades off their eyes
This is the best daggum thread ever. It can go for infinity simply because they can't help it. They are Tar Heel fans. 's their nature. And they have a whole new generation of Tar Heel fans that will do the same. Bless their hearts.. OFC
I'll just leave this here...
"Bam is your typical kid who Roy started recruiting as a youngster but things just keep being put into his head. It's sad he's going to take a beating from Hicks next year..." - Sk1310

I think losing Tokoto is addition by subtraction. He took a lot of awful shots and didn't have a great basketball IQ. That being said... I don't know where they think having virtually the same team as last year that lost 12 games makes them a shoe-in for the national title.
Virtually the same team?!?!?! THEY ADDED LUKE MAYE!
Tokoto definitely played like an idiot at times but he was arguably their best athlete, up there with Brice Johnson. Ultimately, we agree on the fact that you can't presume that having the exact same team--one year later--guarantees world-beating success.
I agree with everyone that believes it's not a lock for UNC to be in the Final Four. I mean, they were very dangerous last season...but their ability to close games was a cancer to them. Sure, being another year older with more experience could certainly help in that department...but that's not a guarantee. Mental toughness just doesn't pop up magically. It comes from having success that breeds confidence. If the Heels start off the season and are able to have some success by holding on to late leads, or making comebacks...then it would do a world of good to their confidence. But if early in the season they let a game or 2 slip away from them...then that old feeling of self-destruction could rear it's ugly head again.
And Marcus Paige...if he plays more like last year (injury or not) than in the previous season then their expectations go down considerably. Also, if Berry is the pg that Gary-7 (and others) predict...then what happens if Paige doesn't have the ball in his hands as much? Is he as effective? Can he adapt to playing well without having the ball in his hands as much? I don't know, maybe, maybe not.
And Kennedy Meeks...he has finally slimmed down to a sleek player. Surely his stamina will be improved dramatically, but as much as many at THR would like to think...I seriously doubt some newfound explosiveness (think his problem is the lack of fast twitch muscles). Also, will he be as effective down low blocking out and pushing players around without that heft he once had? He used that big butt pretty well before.
So, I do think they have some questions that will need to be answered. They will be good, and very dangerous (just like last year), but the verdict is out on how good and how dangerous.
Of course all bets are off if Luke Maye goes gangsta...then they'll be unstoppable.

Their makeup reminds me of a poor mans '10 Duke team, but Roy Williams is still their coach, they still won't play defense and they still can shoot the 3I agree with everyone that believes it's not a lock for UNC to be in the Final Four.

I think UNC got better as the year went on last year. And hell, they arguably should have beaten Duke both times last year. But they have been a team that can beat the best or lose to the worst for quite some time now. I like the argument that they hung with Wisconsin and they will grow from that experience, but they fail to mention that they were an inch away from losing to Harvard in the first round. Talent wise, they can be really good. I just don't think they have the right leadership. But that's just my opinion.
Talent wise, they are mediocre compare to past teams with as much hype as they are getting. They have a lot of really nice role players on that team and that's it.
For as much as you think they're being overhyped, I think you're intentionally trying to undervalue them as well.
This coming college basketball season right now lacks a team who looks really, really good....and by that I mean in comparison to past seasons. That doesn't mean there aren't good teams or teams who can't become great.
Speaking in all honesty, UNC has to be on just about everyone's short list of teams who looks like they have the potential to be special. They return everyone from a team that was top-20 caliber with the exception of a guy who was maybe a bit of a cancer.
The key for them is how good does Joel Berry become. If he's average or even only slightly above-average then it diminishes their chances significantly.
Looking at the rosters of all ACC teams right now before the season kicks off and I see three, and potentially five, players on their roster who could make one of the three All-ACC teams. Not sure another team, besides maybe us, can say the same thing.
I know hating on UNC is fun, but on paper I can't see them not being in the top five, and probably higher than that.

If I were an UNC fan I'd be very excited about this years team. I'd expect a nc with this team. They are experienced and deep wit 4 and 5 star players through the roster. With that said I hope tey lose every game this year and don't even get a shot at the NIT. GO DUKE. OFC
There aren't any teams that jump off the page, but UNC is ad good as anything there for sure. Maryland has far more question marks then UNC, but if the bulk of those wild cards come together (predominantly the incorporation of Stone and Sulaimon), I think they'll be the team to beat. Trimble is the best player on either of those teams.
Mark there I go again knocking a future top ten NBA player like Luke Maye.You should be ashamed of yourself
