Ament is also having a very strong showing.

My sister to me on the phone today. "I saw the last few minutes of the Duke game. They really choked didn't they?" Thank you sis for making me relive that.

Didn't get his money and he's in portal. NCAA better get a handle with this nil stuff
Good for the Vols. Someone has to make a stand.

Glad UT showed a spine....it wont be the last extorsion attempt by an athlete for more money...this is where we are now.
I have a question....
If an athlete enters the Portal (aka, Urinal), is the school from which he/she is transferring obligated to take the athlete back if no other school offers?

Quick AI answer....seems fair.
A player who enters the transfer portal but chooses not to leave can remain at their current school if their original school is open to them returning. However, the player's scholarship status and their current school's willingness to keep them on the team are uncertain. Some schools may choose to move on, while others may keep the door open for a return
UNC will scoop him up, no question about it.

Thanks, Bud.

A sight called Pack Parody is reporting that NC State offered Evans 4 million to join them. Not sure how reliable the source is, but if true it would explain our aggressive pursuit of Ament. Seems to be lots of troll accounts lately. This is what happens when you put out zero information for a week.
I was wearing a Duke hoodie at Costco today and had a guy make a snide comment about the FF loss. Classy for sure.
And if there is a big, teamwide reveal event I want credit since I mentioned it first on this board!! Jk of course, but I do agree it would be a cool way for Duke to be a leader and trend setter in CBB. Almost like a season ending countdown to craziness.

State is after Evans and I Jackson.
We won’t get in a bidding war over Evans.

Time will tell and State may not end up with either of those players but, with Andrew Slater on board with them their recruiting will improve dramatically.
Reminder... Nike hoops summit tonight.

I hope Evans stays, but my recruiting pitch if I'm NC State.
1. We can double your NIL.
2. I won't pull you after every bad shot or blown assignment, within reason.
3. If Duke gets Ament you are #3 option, if Proctor comes back 4.
4. I won't play you 2 minutes in our most important game.

Also Chris you forgot the most important one, you can complete in the NIT and chance for a title.
I agree they absolutely should. Won’t work, but they should.
On current college basketball rosters ? They say his point to make a big impact his first year is driven with money backing him. Hence the 4 mill to Evans and others .
Cam and Nik looking good out there with their aggressiveness. Nate looks a little underwhelming at the moment. Looks way too thin
Only thing we were missing this year is something we will have next year…a guy like Cam Boozer who we can go to for a quick bucket at anytime. Should be a 20/10 guy.
Getting some KK vibes with Khamenia

I know the sample size was small, but I felt good about Ngongba operating down low in the post with the basketball and getting a bucket
@timo0402 any word on Proctor? There has to be some sense of what he is going to do. Lot of good players coming off the portal board, so hopefully we get some decisions soon.
Nothing personal, but I will bet a case of Coors and Hebrew Nationals he is no where near as good as Kon in year one.
Hope Proctor comes back. He isn’t ready for the NBA and he needs some Redemption
If we get Proctor, Foster and Boozer our backcourt is set.
Heard Ament has been very quiet tonight.

100% Agree, two seasoned guards and a Frosh + hopefully Evans and Harris (two more seasoned guys)
Don’t need any more guards imo if all 5 are on the 2025-2026 roster

Harris said he was coming back after the Houston game. Things can change of course. Guy can do big things if he sticks around, he was stuck in a loaded backcourt.
Agreed Chris, I like what I saw from him in his limited minutes this past season. He made the most of his time and got better competing against James, Knueppel, Proctor, Foster, and Evans last season. Hopefully he stays the course.
5-Pat, Brown
4. Boozer, Nik, Brown
3. Henderson, Nik, Ament?
2. Evans, Harris
1. Proctor, Boozer, Foster
That is a really good team. Hard to see 3 guys at #1 and if Ament comes it may squeeze a guy out. (or they are already gone) That is assuming 6 guys back; likely 4 or 5.
