[BOOGIEMAN1914]

i so remember when people were licking their chops at K taking the USA gig and how bad it would be for Duke....well????????........but Boheim dont take flack, he has been right there the whole time and what about the actual college coaches that actually coach the high schoolers in usa basketball under groups.....dont hear about them having any advantages..

 

[dukedevilz]

From DSouthr:

"But Kemba was fortunate to be able to cash in on a Natty season, wasn't Lowery on that same team."

I never knew that 10-year NBA vet from Villanova, Kyle Lowry, teammed with Kemba to win the national title 5 years ago at UConn. THR is such a great educational experience. Thanks for the tidbit, DSouthr!

I have brought up this very point several times on the yookay rivals board but never get an answer beyond "it's obvious" and "troll". I have also had my posts there deleted by mods because I challenge their idiotic rhetoric.

The haters get lost in the fact that Jamie Dixon and Sean Miller were actually coaching uncommitted high school kids. I would have thought that those coaches would have an even greater recruiting advantage then coach K who (I assume) never coaches them at that level.

The haters can't seem to explain to me how Dixon and Miller have failed to parlay the "recruiting advantage" into actual results. Miller at U of A does pretty good with recruiting, but no where near the "recruiting advantage" he has would suggest.

Bottom line, they are all pissy that PayPal Cal no longer maintains the undisputed recruiting crown and is now consistently getting out worked by K, Capel and co.

Wrong player and spelled incorrectly. Give that guy access to Wikipedia! If I had to guess he probably meant Napier

 

[dukedevilz]

He either meant Shabazz Napier or Jeremy Lamb. Either way, it's a failed attempt at trying to illustrate a point - on how undersized guards cash in when they win titles.

Courtesy of @DSouthr: Duke has a couple 5star bigs that IMO could well be out played by meeks and Hicks.

Things worked out pretty well for us the last time Meeks was supposed to be better than one of our 5-star freshmen.

Duke has a coach that could very well be out-coached by...nah, can't even say it as a joke; the only thing Meeks will have on Giles and Bolden is the number of finished plates stacked at a buffet

5 or 6 years after Meeks graduates, are they going to still be talking about how he is just about to break out?

It's not impossible. I guess. Hicks is more likely. But I will still take our guys for the coin.

Roy is so freaking noble the way he backs off of shady recruits.. and how he doesn't snitch on other schools for engaging in suspicious activity. Classy, classy guy. UNC has overwhelmingly championed the concept of integrity like no other program in history.


mikeirbyusa: Roy will not play the game with "Handlers" and shoe companies to get these recruits and I'm glad he won't.

DSouthr: Mikey, don't ya just have to wonder why, when a coach trying to do things the right way discovers dirty tricks, why he does not report them to the NCAA? Evil exists when good men do nothing...

mikrirbyusa: It's a game he could not win. NEVER try and wallow in the dirt with trash, it will beat you every time with experience.

Dear Duke Mods, I mentioned a week or so ago that I wish our mods would create a sticky thread named "Really Stupid Stuff That THR Members Post." The thread referenced above by Dsouthr would be a perfect example. The sticky could be periodically reviewed and anything not deemed stupid enough simply deleted by the reviewing mod. Remember how Dsouthr said that no NBA GM who wanted to keep his job would waste a lottery pick on Brandon Ingram. Or the one someone posted how a Soph Meeks would be better than a Freshman Okafor. Hey we could also sticky post stupid stuff UK fans post. Another one would be that before all was said and done how Kendal "Butter" Marshall would be a top 50 of greatest NBA players ever.

I saw Mike Irby throw that out and cringed... EVERY time UNC misses on a recruit they throw this crap about shoe deals, handlers, and $$$ out and people actually believe it. apparently there is a discussion on their premium board about it.... they actually pay money to discuss this crap. Unbelievable... the day we have a thread on the premium board about how every recruit we miss on was because of "i$$ue$" off the court i'm cancelling my subscription.

ha haaa, was just gonna post this. Those idiots always blame those darn "handlers" as to the reason why they don't get the elite recruits. So predictable. Roy is a phony piece of s**t. There.

The thread on their premium board is gold. Because it's "premium" content it can't be posted here but it's enjoyable. Almost worth a subscription.

And those two idiots believe every word of that crap. They also think Roy is so dumb he didn't have a clue what was going on in the AFAM department. They're delusional.

Remember when they supposedly backed off of John Wall due to Brian Clifton being his crooked handler. Clifton and a guy named Dion Bethae are partners and share players when they go to AAU tournaments.Guess who was Brice Johnsons AAU coach btw he is also Jalek Felton's AAU coach.Another interesting point is that the school Jalek transferred to is a school very similar to the infamous WOG school which Unc fans have been slamming for years

 

[skysdad]

It just amazes me how they all feed off these stupid quotes they come up with. They live in a self denial world. Until they acknowledge that unc nation has a problem nothings going to change. From the cheating athletic program to the idiot posters they have that has no business being free to post on sports boards or anywhere else just makes no sense. I really do think some of them are in a institution or rehab center somewhere that gives them access to the internet without supervision or screening by their caretakers. You just make up some of the stuff they come up with. gary-7's thread about pulling against our national basketball team because of Coach K is a prime example. Normal, rational people just don't do things like that. They need help. OFC

Are Gary and the other THR gurus all on premium as well? I can't imagine some people having to pay to wade through their nonsense.

...much of what I've been trying to relay here on modern-day dirty basketball recruiting.

http://www.cbssports.com/college-ba...sketball-recruiting-isnt-getting-any-cleaner/

Some like to jump on me when I make a reference to certain programs and their tendencies to shenanigans. Perhaps reading will help. This covers how much of it is done. And if you don't appreciate what Roy's up against with probably the majority of elite prospects, well, here ya go...

I like the part where he says when I make a reference to certain programs and their tendencies to shenanigans I wonder what programs he's referring to.

Roy, referencing "shenanigans' ELSEWHERE!!!?? Well lets see does that include.....
1/having a rosterful of AFAM Majors cop a natty, when one even EXPOSED the program and not a single other player on team stepped forward in an in-depth interview to refute him??

2/Do other programs have players who graduated w/degrees in such bogus majors as asst coaches to the team
#MayDay

3/I guess all these other coaches step aside from academics of their players with comments like "Thats not my world."???
(Andy Katz interview)

4/Oh and please address the DeShawn Stevenson (Kansas recruit) sudden SAT score improvement by 700 pts after he was flown from cross country to another state to take the test.....(Roy couldnt understand why NCAA would not let him enter KU)

gary is a total POS. Those fools actually believe that Roy is THE one coach in America that is handcuffed because he refuses to deal with elite kids that have "handlers" and are shady or whatever, huh? What a joker.

So much certainty from @DSouthr, and yet so little actual knowledge. How predictable:

Is it a year from now, maybe 2, could be 3, maybe 4, at some point the negative recruiting is going to hammer K because he is on his last legs. Would YOU be shocked if I told ya next season would be Ks last? Surprised maybe but not shocked, they are about done, dukies know it even if they do not want to talk about it, K is about history. he will not be there 5yrs from now, may not be there 2 more years.

K has endured negative recruiting for the better part of two decades now. The only difference in the last 5-6 years is that the recruits and their families can see through the BS from other staffs trying to sabotage Duke. Now the "he is getting old" thing is becoming more and more true, and will certainly be used against Duke and K. Jeff Capel is the guy to counter that type of recruiting though.

As far as how long K will be around....Nobody knows but him. Certainly not dsouth and his take on things.

Roy would not land one single top 100 recruit if he was not dealing with handlers of some sort. The UNC faithful who buy in to Gary's BS are fooling themselves.

 

[dukiejay]

I won't even say with certainty that K is the best of all-time, simply for argument's sake. But regardless, he's one of the best. Why in hell would he have to negatively recruit? He has kids beating down his door to play for him. It's just sour grapes.

And oh yeah....DSouthr is a complete idiot in every sense of the word.

Shoot Den Platek the next great shooting guard was not even in the top 100

 

[KellenPatrick]

I have a feeling these clowns, the UNC and UK type, are going to be sorely disappointed when Duke doesn't exactly become "irrelevant" immediately after K leaves. But they are praying to hell it happens. Sorry, fellas....

Amen.

If there are roughly 7 billion people in the world, then there are roughly 7 billion people whose opinions on K I would trust and value more than his.

 

[dbav]

Why in hell would he have to negatively recruit? He has kids beating down his door to play for him.

I brought that up once in a thread they had about negative recruiting roughly a year ago. They claimed it was happening to them and I asked why they were so sure. After being told how stupid I was, they told me that they may have heard from a current player that K was negative recruiting.

I explained I didn't know why he would have to due to his success and the Duke brand, but then got called stupid again, haha.

I am sure UNC was recruited negatively from some staffs. (the cloud they had over them was real) I doubt it was the Duke staff though. They do not have to do that when recruiting against UNC these days. See the results on the recruiting trail. When Duke beats UNc (and not just beat them, it was never a recruitment) for a Kingston kid, who was coached in the summer by Jerry Stackhouse, why in the world would Duke need to negatively recruit against UNC?

You will never win an argument vs stupidity. Hence why so few people go over there and post anymore to refute their moronic takes.

 

[dbav]

It was great though. It took them 3 pages to finally answer the questions. I found it very amusing, haha.

 

[HuffyJB]

If you look at some of the post-Olympic comments from the players, they more or less acknowledge the negative recruiting that goes on against K. Both Durant and Cousins said they were surprised by K, because he wasn't the guy others led them to believe he was.

It is all good. People have been throwing crap at K for decades, and it hasn't even come close to slowing him down. Let the Tar Heels use it as an excuse.

Dsouthr has been posting the same thing about K for 10 years. Every year he states that you never know when K will retire and Duke will suffer.

He was also one of the cheerleaders for the Duke will suffer because K will not be able to spend enough time with Duke when he took the USA gig. They have all changed their tune since 2010.

They create facts and then develop theories on made up data.
