Jackson
- Thread starter Duke1783
- Start date
He is a very good player. I could see him testing the water just to see what he needs to work on but I fully expect him back at duke. Him and Trent together at the two and three could be deadly
Considering a "jump" means declaring to me. Article mentions how he's not likely a 1st rounder
Wow! Seriously! He improved tremendously at the end of the season but definitely not NBA ready! This is really kind of shocking to me. He needs to come back one more year and then jump if he wants but right now, he definitely is not ready to make that jump IMO
"Ooo...he ain't going nowhere"..lmao..That's why there called opinions my boys
There was talk on this same board several weeks ago his dad might be interested in moving Frank on...
OFC
OFC
Of course he isn't ready but he isn't the only one that isn't ready that's already going
But as many have said here but not me "go get that money young man"
Well, you were the one saying he should have started he was better then Allen. What did everyone think?
My question is, if he does make the jump Duke continues to get thinner
I said he should start at pg at the beginning of the season because it would be huge in the tourney for him having that experience ..I also said a few weeks ago Jackson could start over Allen (this )season if some things happen .guess what they didn't happen and some not yet so Allen will probally start as of now and probally will anyway reguardless of what happens. That is if he stays ..never said Ajackaon was better ...will he be? yes imo .....ur famous for twisting and putting words in people's mouths for a better sounding response and nevermind..why I don't know ...
I just ask you to please quote Whatt I said before u say I said something from now on please..

Good call dude
Some screwed up times with college basketball. I don't know if it's true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to bolt. Since we're not on the inside, there's several things that could be happening. Is he doing this purely to gauge where he's at, is he doing this because of recruiting that is happening, and the log jam that will be with Trent and possibly Allen and Duval? That may also be why K is after all this talent too, so he and staff don't get caught with a surprise departure. College basketball has almost gotten like pro sports, that there's no loyalty from the players. Looking out for themselves, can't blame them if I thought I could make millions. Bottom line for fans is it Stinks
We should trash his work ethic and insult his mom's cooking like we did Quis a week ago.
lol
last thing ..the players have no loyalty ?? lmao what about the guys making all the money!? They just kick a player to the curb for another when they get older! Or whatever the reason... Loyalty.....wow...it goes both ways... I don't blame them 1 bit!. It's all about money. so y fault the player?...wait he's a robot for our casual tv entertainment ..god forbid he do anything for himself and his well being...peace
Cant think of a more depressing offseason, college basketball becoming a joke. However if frank went to unc he woulda stayed all 4 years
Look. He was a first round draft pick coming into the season. The only reason he didn't stay one was because of his lack of true pg skills.
Heck at one point Duke had six first round draft picks.
If he goes he goes good for him. That just means every player with the exception of the two seniors, who were already leaving. Will have left. Which means Duke has no established players at the college level.
Which imo, Dukes recruiting has become no different then UK's. Bring in the OAD and if they win they win and if they don't they still win because after seven months they are headed for millions any way.
The college game just suffers and some of the blue bloods have officially became the new dleague

They don't have any loyalty, and that's because of way NBA has gotten. I also said I don't blame them. Please read all what is said before you go spazzing out.
With all do respect go back to before the season started and before Dukes pro day and you'll see him around 20. It wasn't until after he got hurt that he was pulled from the 2017 draft boards. By then he had fell to the second round with Luke two spots before him. Then him and Bolden came off the draft boards and showed up on 2018. Once Jackson started for Grayson he began to show up in the early second round again.
Not saying he goes or stays. I truly don't know and I looked at the article to me it just sounds like he's thinking about testing the waters.
Can't sleep..I did ..just tell me this and I'll leave it alone ..tell me what a player has to do to be loyal. And loyal to who? Us? The team? Lmao
According to Cal, by going when your projected to be drafted.
Like lil Wayne said ," Get Money!"
Honestly if these young men feel they can do it they should go. I just hope they don't blame any one if they flair out the league.
Imo he showed up every time he got his minutes..players get hurt all the time and not always changes their draft stock ...sometimes it does...look at Giles ...what's ur point?
I agree. Me and you had this conversation and I agreed with your outlook on Jackson.
No doubt if he started all this past season, he would be already declared.
again!!!!...lol ...I never said that ..why lord why ...stop doing that! Please! For god sake ..lol I'm beginning to think you just can't help it ...
Look I'm trying not to make you out to be the adolescent you are.
But go back check your post if you like when you were making your claim that Jackson should have been starting over Matt Jones.
You went back and edit your post with the second half. Re-read my post and you'll see where I stated his stock began to fall after Dukes pro day and throughout the season as he showed his lack of being a pg guard and more so was just viewed as an undersized combo.
Are you even serious? These kids are looking for the best fit to get them to next level. Take Tatum as an example. Duke offered him the best chance to showcase his talents. St. Louis to Durham, to NBA. What's so hard to understand? I'm not ripping the kids, hell I even said I'd take the money if I could. You just looking for something to fuss about. College ball ain't as good for the fans but it's better for the kids. No many of them aren't loyal.
