Obi transfering

Glad he used this three years here with the best medical staff in the game. Should do well at a Fairfield, Northeastern, Texas El Paso, UC Santa Barbara.
I hope he does great next year. In never thought he would contribute here but I feel bad for him
Wishing the best for him. Hope he can find a home and get in some pt. OFC
All that could still very well be. If he was healthy and could contribute he would have surely seen pt this year. We will see in the next couple of years as to what his abilities are. I hate the word hate but for lack of a better word I hate speculation and we do a lot of that here and I'm not referring to you pisgah I'm just using your post to reply. OFC
Hoping this is one of the two that was speculated. Would be huge if Bolden stayed.
Yea I feel for all these kids that come to Duke with high expectations and get their bubble busted. I understand that Coach makes you earn time on the floor at practices, But some, (especially Bigs) take longer to adjust to the game. The only way they can adjust is let them play thru their mistakes and allow that to happen. Luke Maye would not be a hero today if Roy gave up on him. You have to play to gain confidence at the college level. Some kids can gain confidence at practice, but some only get better and more confident during real time action, but that is Coach Ks style and kids should know that before coming to Durham. Its nothing new at Duke.
Don't overthink this one guys. Seriously.
No I agree. I don't think he was ever up to getting PT here but he was good at rice and could of had a decent career there. I really don't get why we ever got him
So Bolden and Giles gone, awesome. Do you have any good news in regards to grad transfers coming in or getting recruits?

From the article, sounds like Obi is healthy..
“I have loved my time at Duke,” Obi said. “I’ve struggled with a few injuries but I’ve grown as both a man and a player in this program. The relationships I’ve made here will last a lifetime and I will be extremely proud to call myself a Duke graduate. I’m feeling great physically now and I’m excited to take the next step in my career.”

I figured the "don't overthink this one guys" was in regards to the speculation of two bigs leaving the program. Which is basically stating Obi wasn't apart of the two bigs...
kid got a duke degree and world class care for his injuries....in his final year, he at least knows that he will get a shot at his next location....side note, that clears up #34 for wendell
Nah it was just in regards to Obi. Wish him well. He got a Duke degree and the best doctors in the world helping him get healthy. I'd say he did well!
WTF? Sean Obi is transferring? Oh what in the good hell is going on here? I thought the kid was hurt and would never play?
Seriously, wtf is going on? I feel like our program is in bizarre turmoil.

I am with you, this is getting to be a little crazy. We have more turnover on our rosters every year than Kentucky. If this were happening at Kentucky this whole board would be going crazy. I know everyone on this board would say who cares Obi will not help us, but to me that is not the point. The point is the transferring and kids leaving is getting out of control.
I wish we would've offered a ball handling guard last year instead of having a fifth string center. Then again, I don't know what promises were made to Sean when he signed. A Duke scholarship is a valuable thing. I don't think we filled out our roster very well.
I guess I understand people being frustrated with Chase leaving....he came in as a 5-star and looked pretty lackluster, along with not getting as much time as some people thought he should. But Sean transferring is just him trying to give it one more go at a lesser school with his last year of eligibility. Again....he didn't dress for a single game all season.
This is the most post time Obi has got while he's been at Duke. Poor guy. OFC
I completely understand what the kid is doing but if he was healthy this season why did he not dress? It is hard for me to wrap my head around the amount of transfers that we have. Everyone talks about the brotherhood and how close our basketball players are but the amount of kids that leave starts to make me think otherwise.
well, he has graduated...so he is using his final year towards a graduate degree at another institution.....not as bad as a normal transfer imo
I actually don't think he was healthy when the season started, and as stated in the press release, this was something in the works for a while. It didn't happen in the last nine days.
Well folks, for my part, I wish him the best of luck. Sean always seemed to have a great attitude, and always supported his team. It seemed like he was one of the first players to stand and cheer, and also give someone a pat on the back!
I hope that he has some of the success that Semi had after he left, and I'm sure he will always remember his time as a Blue Devil.
Go Duke!
OFC
