Hey Guys, I am on this Duke page on FB and a few of the people on there have some really good information. Its a page that you have to be invited to join. I see things on there that I don't see on here. There are some people on there in the know and I just saw one of them make a post that say's It looks like Tatum is playing this weekend. Has anyone else heard this? Take if for a grain of salt because I do not claim to know anyone in the "know" but again, they have proved to have some very valuable information on there. Just passing this along. I hope this is true because It would be a good game for him to come out on and test everything out.

I hope it's true. Think we'll get one or more of them back pretty soon, whether it's this weekend or a little further down the road.
Nickris, I hope Dani is still doing well. I know it's been about a year since she came home from the hospital. God bless you and your family.

Why? It isn't like one day is going to heal him. Allen is going to be playing with his injury the rest of the season. It is on him how much pain he can deal with.
Thanks for asking OAD! Man this little girl has come A LONG way! She is almost off the oxygen completely. She is only at 1/8 of a liter and for most of the day we can keep her off. We really only put her on oxygen now when she eats and sleeps. She should be off of it completely by this spring and she should be good to go.
If you have the picture on your machine or on a webpage, just right click copy then paste into the body of the message like where you type here.
Because I don't think we need him against a 2-5 America East team. A little extra rest couldn't hurt. Just my opinion.
Honestly I have a friend FB that told me about it and he said he would talk to the Admin first, then I saw a request to join. Send me your info on FB and I will see if I can find you then I will send the Admin your information.
To me, these types of games are the perfect games to bring a player back in from injury because you can reduce their minutes in these types of games and let the player slowly get adjusted back in.
I was speaking of resting Grayson in response to why I would sit him...not saying to not bring the freshmen in. I agree, perfect game to bring them in if one or all are ready.
Great looking family nickris! I wish you guys all the best going forward!Here are a few from when we started to now.
Tatum's mom said on Tuesday that she thought he would play Saturday. Take that for what is is worth. My buddy sat right next to her at the Mich St game.
Really exciting news if it ends up being true about Tatum! Last thing I heard was that someone saw him on campus recently still limping pretty bad. Really hoping to see him play tomorrow.
Didn't Coach K say that Tatum was the furthest behind of the 3? I guess we will continue to hear these rumors until they actually step foot on the court during play. I hope each rumor is true but I've tried to temper expectations until I see otherwise. Always appreciate the scoops though
That's what I was thinking. It seems like I remember reading an article or transcript from post game press conference where Coach K said that Giles was the closest to being ready, Boldden was the second closest to being ready and Tatum was the furthest to being ready but it would definitely be a nice surprise if Tatum is able to return on Saturday. It would be a perfect game to bring him back because he can play in short spells throughout the game to get into game shape.
Well, not exactly. K was specifically responding to a question about the players warming up before tha W&M game. He talked about how they looked in warmups not necessarily how close each was to being ready for a game. Who knows if he meant Tatum needed to be kept out of practice/games longer or if he meant Tatum needed to be kept out of warmups a little longer. Of course people interpreted it as Harry was closest followed by Bolden with Tatum last but when you look at his full answer in the correct context it doesn't exactly come across that way. He could have easily just meant that Tatum needed to be held out a little longer from that point in time, not longer than Giles or Bolden.
On the injured players taking part in warmups:
“I think the transition from serious injury isn’t just physical, but it’s also mental. I think to put on your uniform, do warmups as much as you can and be a part of the team is something we wanted to transition them to. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, we just don’t know how long that tunnel is. But, I think days like today helped. Harry [Giles] looked pretty good in warmups but he hasn’t had any contact. Marques [Bolden] looked good and Jayson [Tatum] needs to be kept for a little longer. Everything is progressing well and this was a good thing to do.”

This is what I've read too. No way of confirming it but just going by what I've read here and elsewhere , that seems to be the consensus. Again...no confirmation on that at all. At this point , it's internet scuttlebut...at best.
Guy on another site says he hears Tatum and Bolden tomorrow and Giles on Tuesday...
Boy I hope these have some sort of truth..be nice to get them on the court soon.
