Why is he so highly ranked? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think only hoosierguy said that and as we know, he doesn’t know anythhing Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m not sure what to think but I want what Archie wants. If we trust him and his decision making we should support this. He is getting the opportunity to build a roster HIS guys and if les is what he wants and we get him I will be excited as I want Archie to get HIS guys and have zero excuses if it doesn’t work out Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As long as the university isn’t on tourney probation(they should be) then it may not matter if wade is there or not to kids like Watford. The coach isn’t the only pull, sometimes it’s the location, the money, players etc Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe that but they also know that they are going to get a ton of attention from us too Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Memphis isn’t that much different than LSU, getting crazy looks from elite players despite no visible reason for it. Penny isn’t a reason to go to Memphis, how is he different than Mullin, Ewing, majarle, Avery etc? If you want to play for an unproven coach that played in the nba there are multiple options. Memphis is just plain ready to brawl it out in the mud and kids are loving the handouts. NCAA? You awake? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It doesn’t unless it does. If it really comes down to best offer$ then no surprise here. LSU has had no shortage of 5* interest and signings despite having almost zero reason to go there. Make it rain LSU Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He’s down there slangin, rollin with these hustlers, tryin to get rid of all you hatas and you bustas Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don’t mind kids having dreams or aspirations but it’s how it is presented that matters. Most of us are not planning on being in the role or maybe even company we are at for the rest of our careers, so we are using the role and company we are currently at to leap frog us to bigger and better things. That said though, we would be pretty dumb to continuously talk about that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don’t blame the school. There are kids that poured in their blood sweat and tears there for 4 years, those are the kids that should be honored, not someone that went there due to location and then ditched the team and coaches to go elsewhere and then go elsewhere again. We also don’t know how he was as a person/student/teammate while he was there. If he was a POS and then ditched them at first opportunity, I wouldn’t blame them for saying F off. Clearly he didn’t maintain a lot of relationships with his former school or they wouldn’t dog him like that. Really, who’s using who? Seems like he is trying to use them now that it is convenient for him Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is there any indication that Christian will be hired at his school of choice or is that just conjecture? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Can’t say I know that much about him but what I do I know I really like. This seems like the kid we need. Someone that plays with intensity and gives a damn about winning Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think it is the arrogance that they exude that bothers me the most. The “I can come in at any moment and get who I want” “this entire investigation into cab corruption is a joke and does not exist and it certainly doesn’t exist here at Duke” type comments are absurd and laughable. They might be THE most guilty in this entire corruption issue Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree. I would still love to get Watford but I found him more intriguing when there was little talk of him being a one and done. We will need guys like that more down the road but right now we need to build Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If we get Leal does that mean no Galloway? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

4th grade, college, same thing Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

There are a lot of cases of regression in terms of 3 point shooting and free throw shooting. He 2.1 out 5.6 his junior year and 2.1 out of 5.7 per game his senior year which is virtually the same, his free throw shooting dropped 5% within that same period. Despite his overall percentage being much higher under Crean than Archie you can look at just the transition year and say it’s the same but I mapped out a bunch of players that had even more drastic drop offs and didn’t even include Rojo in that one. It is a fact that more regressed than improves in these categories and that is alarming to me and have pointed to our weight and strength training as a potential reason Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He shot a better percent as a freshen and sophomore than he did as a senior under Archie and the same as he did as. Junior. Not sure how you are stating otherwise. His senior year percentage was tied with his junior year as his worst This was also the case for many of our players seeing drops in 3 point percentage and/or free throw percentage Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

People don’t like this but his 3 point shooting regressed under Archie as have a lot of our players. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I will excuse you for quoting my post and then fabricating your own narrative to reply to. I said none of the things you argue against Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hurt to Duke so one less obstacle for us Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No. I don’t blame them, they are just going through a process offered to them but there are 1,000 players in college as talented as these three and the nba cannot focus/care about them. It’s actually a retraction from the top 100 that actually have a chance. There just isn’t enough time nor eyeballs to do everyone justice What feedback are they actually expecting? None of them them are close/on the cusp that one little thing will put them over the top. They all need to improve a ton and any quality coach like Archie can guide them on those things Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

In a way, good for them. But this is kinda an abuse of the system. Neither of these guys and also green, are nba material right now. If these three enter into the process what stops everyone from doing it and diluting the process/system Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It was both. He said he was going to choose between Carolina and Kentucky and both coaches said, please hold on that, we aren’t ready to take your commitment. Crean jumped in and said “ I will” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Davis has the potential to score more than 8ppg. If healthy I’m looking for 12-14. He’s a load within 5 feet Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
