In my opinion, Goldwire is average at best at everything except defense. Average passer, barely average shooter, not a great ballhandler. I would like to see another point guard who is above average in those areas. Just my opinion. OFCGoldwire? OFC

I could see O'Connell finally putting it all together. He has loads of potential. If hurt returns I think we go small. With a starting lineup ofIf AOC is in the starting line up, it’s not good news for Duke fans...
What's an offseason without a transfer? We're due for that topic.I might get roasted for this, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone transfer. Alex and Joey come to mind. Hope I’m wrong.
The second team would be better 3 pt shooters w Steward, Baker and BrakefieldI could see O'Connell finally putting it all together. He has loads of potential. If hurt returns I think we go small. With a starting lineup of
Roach/ goldwire
Oconnell/ steward
Moore/ baker
Johnson/ brakefield
Hurt/ williams/ coleman
That team should rebound fine with above average size at the 2-4. Wouldent mind seeing K play platoon like calapari did in 2015 either
Wild. There isn’t going to be a combine. No testing the waters, either you believe in your draft stock or you don’t.
The fact that Hurt/Moore are not on any draft boards has to help Duke right? They can’t improve their stock.
I agree with that. Goldwire is better than no one at all. That does not make him good. My hope is that we get another quality PG to go with Roach. OFCIf he is our back up pg next year we will be grateful we have him just like we were grateful this year.OFC
wow that could be huge for us honestly

yup, bake man isn't going anywhereYup I have fallen into the trap of social media -
didn’t think there would be any doubt but baker looking like is here for the long haul
He needs to improve his ability to defend and rebound for the nba. Why not learn that as a 5 in college? It isn’t like he would be stuck in the post if he played the 5 at duke. He would float around the perimeter regardless of if he is the tallest player on the courtHurt will not be starting at center. That’s a pipe dream. He will leave before starting at center. He came into college to play the 3 and 4. We won’t play a second of 5 in the pros so why waste time playing it in college.
He only came to Duke because he was promised he would be able to play the 3 and 4. That was the selling point for him. He’s trying to work on perimeter skills. We not trying to develop him as a 5. We’re trying to win games.He needs to improve his ability to defend and rebound for the nba. Why not learn that as a 5 in college?

I'd play for himyoure coach?
He would play like a 3 or 4 on offense much like this year. Does that count?He only came to Duke because he was promised he would be able to play the 3 and 4. That was the selling point for him. He’s trying to work on perimeter skills. We not trying to develop him as a 5. We’re trying to win games.
Idk if he ready to bang like that in the post. He seem like he’s trying to move away from the goal. If anything he would start at the 4. We would start Wendell and Johnson at the 2 and 3. And hurt at the 4 with Williams. We need Williams out there.He would play like a 3 or 4 on offense much like this year. Does that count?
Soon.youre coach?
obviously this could mean anything but if i had to guess it seems like he’s staying.That’s great to see Joey coming back.. I do believe AOC will look into transferring though (If Moore returns), since he won’t have to sit out a year as a grad-transfer.
Saw this on Twitter.. not sure how reliable... but...

If we lost Hurt but kept Tre, I think that that's a win for Duke, IMHO.
That said, if Hurt does transfer, perhaps he can blame the Coronavirus and his need to stay close to him, wonder if that would get a waiver and not sit out a year.
Don't know about that one chiefSaw this on Twitter.. not sure how reliable... but...
Keeping Tre would obviously be huge. However, if we lose Hurt, Duke is going to be scary thin upfront.
lol true. However, Duke needs another center, badly. Duke is playing with fire. They have a few options out there, but Duke isn't seeking them for whatever reason. Maybe, they have an unexpected player returning or something up their sleeve. Just doesn't make any sense as to why you would not address an apparent issue that's foreseeable.hurts already paper thin as is lol

I know these are rumors but remember back in the day when parents pushed their kids to stay the course and work hard to improve.
