I actually think dadika is one of the more reasonable posters at THR. If he's praising Gary for his insights, then they truly have lost all hope.

@RoseHeel showing he doesn't know how numbers work:
1. No one complains that Dook's one and only commit being Alex O'Connell. He wasn't top 100 more than 2 months ago and is barely even Top 100 now.
Latest rankings have him at #44 in the Class of 2017. He was #69 before the updated rankings. In what world is that "barely even top 100"?

Why would anyone complain about Duke's only verbal so far? That is the question I want to know. Alex is a very good player and is trending up and has been for a while. There is a reason Duke go in when they did.
Lol. What an idiot. And does he realize that Alex is just the beginning of the class? There might just be a few studs in there when all is said and done. Wow.
Been a while since we heard from one of our favorites but when he decides to poast one it's always worthy to put on this thread. Can you believe this one. I think even his thr buddies may think the place he is in may be need to take away his internet privileges. OFC
Can't believe Murphy is still hanging around. To refresh everyone's memory, Murphy is the only 5-star player in history to be red-shirted. K, The Leader of Men not only did this to this man, but also forced Murphy to transfer. He also convinced Murphy to give up his last year in high school.
Over the last several years K has convinced 3 players to forgo their last year in high school. Alex "Can't Miss" Murphy, Andre "Bail Out" Dawkins and Derrick Thornton. The common thing about all of them is that he abused them all.
He forced Murphy and Thornton to transfer and Dawkins graduated with mental problems caused, in part my K's actions. Dawkins is a ready a sad case. I'm still praying for the young man..
K, the Leader of Men.
but when he puts one up it's classic.

Sky I was about to post this same thing from the **** head and pile of manure Steat, what he said about Dawkins. They are eating this up at the cheats site, even the should be more even tempered mod of theirs. They are almost all 100% losers and what a bunch of really stupid venom filled posters they are. How low can any competitor fan be any lower than this *** wipe. This takes the record for all time low class post that I have read. I would really love the cause great harm to this idiot Steat..
Guys I just read the whole thread so far and even their mod Mike Irby supported the post. Our comrade tw3301 defended Coach K so his time there is coming to an end. Thanks tw3301 but you are a sitting duck. The whole thread is so thr like. II know from the things I post here that most of you may think I'm the most unc hater there is. Not so. I don't hate first of all. I even respect hof coach roy williams. Not to say I will not pass up any opportunity to rag on him though. I don't hate their players or the university itself. I don't hate their fan base because many good friends and family are unc fans. But I do disdain those at thr. They get me fired up. There's only been a couple of them that I truly enjoyed seeing them post, tilador and txheel and they don't post anymore. I truly wish Mike Irby well and hope he defeats cancer as well as our own gottagonow but Mike shame on you. OFC
You obviously never took an AFAM course so you have no right to question their conclusions lol
Shame on all of them. And especially shame on the mods who condone such nonsense. If you want to post about the early entries and their lack of success go right ahead. But to comment on the alleged mental health issues of Dawkins and blame it on K when the young man had to battle the inner demons of having lost his sister in a car accident on her way to watch him play is absolutely disgusting. Again shame on all of them for taking a rivalry so serious that comments like that see the light of day.
Steat is one of two things, or both....he's 1) trying to get you guys going, and 2) he's an idiot. I lean on both.
But that whole thread is kind of an example of the insecurity UNC fans have when it comes to K. Very few, if any, shot down Steat's theories, but rather, they blindly supported them. I still fail to follow how K wronged any of the three he mentioned. If Dawkins was wronged, no signs point to it....at least from him. He's still back on campus every summer playing with former teammates and current guys. For a guy who "should" be pretty angry he's doing one helluva job hiding it.
As for Thornton....it's just an angle they're going to try and make that will shed any bad light on K. Period. Hell, Thornton played PG for Duke as a true freshman averaging 26mpg. Pretty much all of the comments made --- for the most part by Derryck's family --- suggest clearly that he wasn't happy with how he was used and was looking for a better fit. I think he was also afraid of a little competition....but that's just my opinion.
Alex is a good kid....it just didn't work out. He was probably a little over-hyped and on top of that, he hasn't been able to catch a break when it comes to injuries. Hopefully the young man is able to put together a solid senior campaign at Northeastern.

Excellent post. There are some despicable individuals over there. The main core over there are probably the reason individuals such as tilador no longer post there.
The Dawkins comments are despicable. Truly despicable. The poster shoul be ashamed and the mods should be embarrassed they allow that type of thing.
The mods agree with it, though. That's why that there's been such a revolt of that board by UNC fans. Not because of this post specifically, but speaking in generalities. RaisingHeel, or something like that, had a genius post on their OOTB board that spoke to exactly that and publicly called out Mike and the other mods. In fact, when a group of pretty rational UNC fans broke off and used OOTB as a board to discuss UNC hoops, the mods put a muzzle on them and shut down the thread.
I saw that they put the muzzle on the mods at the OOTB board members that were fed up with mods and other posters on the regular board. Which is too bad. The mods agreeing with something like what they said about Dawkins is just sad. i understand sticking up for your program against nay saying people, but to outright say that K is responsible for Dawkins and his dealing with a tragic loss....seriously bad human beings if they truly buy in to that.
Here's a link to the last page of their thread at OOTB....Mike does't have a clue.

Kudos to @tarheel0910 as I know he reads this board. But then again, he once said he doesn't like Duke so we should hate him and say some stupid sh*t.

Well steat got us going and I'm not gonna just lay back and let it go. He wants some replies from us at thr so their mods can tombstone us but the problem with that is most of us are already tombstoned. had to post this. I couldn't let him get away with it. And it's been know a long time he is an idiot. don't understand why the mods over there let this continue to happen. To my knowledge Mike Irby is free to post here. If so and he reads this I'm calling him out and ask him to explain why he as a mod who job is to keep a credible board in tact continues to allow this and be a part of it. I not Mike any of the thr POASTERS will do. OFC

When players don't produce after one season, they're shown the door. Nevermind Brian Zoubek, Miles Plumlee, Ryan Kelly, and Marshall Plumlee. Nevermind that the last time Duke held 13 scholarships for recruited players was 1991. Let's forget that information, and focus on players that do transfer. Because that is totally the norm - K only cares about himself and everybody knows it. #thrlogic
Steat is high on Wanda's nanner pudding. Could it be the sleep king himself? Roy is that you my friend?
I know dj. I was just hoping to piss one of them off enough to come over here and pop off about it. OFC
It's not entirely out of the question. hof coach roy williams has made references to some of the things posted here in the past such as his ugly ties. OFC

"ratty is a very caring person; he cares about himself, his legacy, his won-loss record, his name on the court, his hair color, a few of his starters, his salary, his buddies Templeton, Feivel, and Ratatouille, and his cheese!
I really don't understand why peeps haven't called him out on his mistreatment of so many young men that he supposedly is helping to mold."
And that same moron again:
"It also illustrates the incredible double standard that exists.
1. The rule for D-1 programs
2. The rule for the Rat Kingdom!
I can't wait for this person to retire."

The Dawkins thing as has been mentioned is clearly disgusting. However, it is also a product of just being so ridiculously ignorant and misinformed on a topic. Andre himself, had a wonderful article where he had some great quotes about the situation. Hit rock bottom Junior year. Sat out at the request of K- to do it for HIM, not for K, not for Duke, but for Andre. Andre sought counseling, he came back, and was welcomed back with open arms. What Andre has done, and is continuing to do is extremely inspirational. To any of those people that are even remotely suggesting what they were about K and Dawkins should really take a long look in the mirror.
As for Alex and DT- again you believe what you want and that is usually easy when you have no regards for the facts of each circumstance. Just remember- you can't argue with stupid.

"But back to Murphy.... I'm glad to see him get a final chance. IIRC we offered him, too. I bet he would have worked out fine here. Maybe he wasn't really 5-star talent. Who knows? But Roy would have helped him develop and he would have gotten decent PT every year. 'Cause that's how Roy does things."

Yep, Alex would have been all set if he went with Roy and Roy's "development." Amazing.

I hope they are mesmerized.

"I don't post here much because I'm a Duke fan and this is your board but to blame Dawkins' "mental problems" on K and not the fact that the young man's sister was killed in a car accident is a little ridiculous. I get that you guys hate K, comes with the rivalry, but I don't see how you can suggest that a tragic death in the family and the effects it had on Andre (which are understandable) are somehow his coach's fault."
And loser Archer's response:
"I agree for the most part. But I can't help but think if he'd had more support from the LOM while at dook, he may have handled what happened to his sister more successfully."
Still trying to somehow fault K concerning Andre's family tragedy. What a total A hole.

TPFKAPFS again. The absolute hatred over there is something else. And plenty of "likes" to this garbage over there too.
"Therein lies the important difference. Here a kid will be respected and developed even if they are not living up to their ranking. At puke, if you can't advance or enhance the reputation of the rat king, you will not get any run. You will also be recruited over and discarded as soon as you prove you can't advance the rat!"
The dolts at THR always use the term "recruited over". WTF does that even mean? Once you get a kid at a certain position you aren't allowed to recruit that same position until they are gone or else it is sleazy?? Lol, yeah, that makes sense.

Alex would have gotten plenty of PT over at UNC. They do run the "everyone plays because that is what is fair" thing over there. (all kidding aside, when Roy plays his best players the most minutes, he usually wins big)
The reason they want him to retire is because he's really, really good. Don't let those idiots fool you into thinking otherwise.
Interesting exchange here:
@toophly1124: I only post occasionally but read frequently ...but it seems like EVERY outsider who brings a different opinion is either hosed down like a dog or shown the door ..even the ones who are in all honesty more respectful than some of the regulars on THR
@mikeirbyusa: By saying "shown the door" if you mean banned they earn it otherwise we are open to all who post respectfully.
I wonder how many people who never posted over there "earned" their ban? Would be interesting to get the stats on that.

Just so i follow your suggestion- if i play the best players the most minutes i'll win? genius idea.
Archer should have left it at "I agree." Pretending to know how anyone (let alone a perfect stranger) deals with the loss of life with any kind of certainty is just idiotic.
I think it's only fair that a coach gives everyone an equal chance to prove themselves. I mean, if Duke and UNC are playing, I think you should constantly sub in and out - in and out. And hey, if Brice Johnson only gets one shot off in the final twelve minutes, well, I guess we chop that up to fairness, right? Keep the team happy!
