I'm a guy with no info, drinking beer after church. That said, I'm expecting a commitment a few days after his Duke visit.
Marvin Bagley III
- Thread starter Jake1985
- Start date
Dang Denver you just blew your cover, lol! You laid out a heckuva good case on that brewsky , I tell you that! Cheers! OFC
I'm with you Hart....Sounds to me like Denver GUARANTEEING a commit...I say if he's wrong, he buys a round for the room!!!
And I dink beer on Sunday too. Except I do it while Denver is still AT church....I had an early tee time....you understand
Actually.....I hope he is right and doesn't have to buy!!
I'm gonna call in to the local sports talk show here today and let the nation know that Marv is on his way to DUKE!!

Are you sure about that? I thought you had to be a year removed from high school and the 19-thing was more for international players.
You are correct. I overlooked that part. There's still no guarantee he would play in college if he did one more year of high school. He could play in the D League or overseas. Seems like the NCAA would like to cash in on him now if that's his preference and he can graduate now.
To me only if they have the scissors in their hands in April. Until then the best one class imo was the 14-15 team.
Kind of getting tired of these one and done's using Duke to show case themselves for the NBA . Need some nattys. Really looking forward to the day when they can go straight to the league right after high school or stay with us for 2 or 3 years. Let's bring back college basketball. OFC
Totally agree but we're already in this boat and super young and this guy is really, really good.
100% agree....How much fun would it have been to watch Winslow or Kyree for 3 years!!
At this it would have been nice to have seen him for a full year
Even just 2 years would give these a years worth of maturity, adjust to being away from home, building a social life and getting better. There has to be a better way than what's happening now and don't tell me hof coach roy williams has found the answer. He's recruiting these guys and wants them, they just don't to play there. OFC
Wow, I hadn't seen much of this kid but watching his highlights on YouTube? He's very, very impressive. I really could see him playing the 3 with Carter, and Bolden/Vrankovic. Good luck getting to the rim against that defensive lineup.
Hard to tell a kid he can't make money, that he has to go to school. The nba's farm system is college basketball. Win win for them. Very hard on the coaches, work your butt off to have a kid for 8-10 months, and frustrating for the fans, but who cares what we think. I miss not having these kids longer too.
I say the top 40 high school seniors could be invited to a mini combine before their senior year and then ones that will be drafted high can go straight from high school. All others stay at least 2 years. It won't put as much strain on college coaches to fill their roster this way.
Yeah Ol Roy tries to get these kids, and the scandal may be hindering them, but I think the Carolina (Dean Smith) system may hurt him in bringing the "studs" to Chapel Hill. Like the joke was back in the day, he was the only man able to hold Jordan to 20 a game, and these kids may feel they can't "shine" in that style.
That's why they should be allowed to go right after high school. I don't care if it's a hundred of them but if they decide to got to school it's at least 2 years. Itr would sooner or later all work out. They could have a basketball farms system with class A and class B. or just go to Europe. Just quit screwing up the college game. Even if there were less talent we would still play unc twice a year, have an ACC tourney and a natty and the best coaches would still get the best players and win the most nattys. We would still enjoy that wonderful game of college basketball. OFC
I'm with you Sky...but can we wait until after this year? I wanna go ahead and watch Duvall and Carter.....I mean since we already signed them and all!!!
I just read that Bagley has a Grandma that lives in Durham. Is this true?? If so then it seems like that would possibly be huge for Duke's chances.
Yes she does and his dad also went to school at NC A&T and played football for them so he definitely has family ties to Durham.
Coach K needs to ask Grandma if she makes "nanner puddin" and if so tell her he sure would like to have some. Everyone inn North Carolina has someone in their family that makes "nanner puddin. " We need to equalize Wanda's. OFC
Offer her some potted meat. No one in their right mind would take nanner pudding over chopped peckers and lips.
Goldwire would get to brag for the rest of his life that he was part of the greatest class ever. Let's just win another title first.
Rest easy on this one fellas!!! Whew baby!
What??? God I hope you are right. Getting Bagley for this season would be beyond my wildest dreams.
