Vernon Carey announcement

[IPSYCHOSIS]

I’m sure there are idiots saying he got paid to go to Duke I guess they don’t realize his dad was a defensive lineman in the NFL. Like Vernon really needs to get paid to go to Duke one year.

It’s everywhere! Some kind of way we give out houses and bags of money and nobody finds out about that.....? How thats possible In this world when you can’t scratch your ass without sombody knowing about it....I’ll never know .....

 

[retiredsoldier]

Hey, at least you guys still have a shot at James Wisem....oooh wait. My bad. Yikes...

Dang dukehokie lol. Somebody may need to take all bootlaces, shoe strings and belts from this dude right now.

 

[dukehokie]

As of right now assuming Duke didn’t land anyone else and let’s say Tre Jones did come back, would this be the most likely starting lineup next year?

1.Tre
2. Boogie
3. Moore
4. Carey
5. Bolden or Javin or Jack

If we stopped today, I think you may see Alex start over Boogie. If we stopped today...

 

[retiredsoldier]

@retiredsoldier Hahhaa I saw the deleted post. I was like “wait a minute, that wasn’t for you!” Haha.

I know right lol. My bad man!

 

[QC Dukie]

AHHH, poor little punchin! GTFO

And my boy soldier with another hammer!

That's probably right. But if they went smaller... Carey at the 5. Baker starting. No Bolden/Javin/Jack starting?

 

[retiredsoldier]

One more to go.

I'm going with 2 show lol.

 

[Wolfman2610]

I like that rather then the other

100 percent agree...

You never go wrong by being humble!

As long as he plays with a confidence on the court, the fact that he chooses to be meek off it is perfectly fine.

 

[retiredsoldier]

Gym time. You fellas enjoy your day. Time to wear my Duke hat to the gym and yell "Lets Go Duke" while I throw a 10 lb weight plate at the mirror lol.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

God. Here we go already criticizing Vernon. He hasn’t even gotten here.

Yo I’m mad he didn’t pick up the Baby poo blue hat and take that napkin and wipe the sh!t off of it and then!!!! put on the Duke hat!!! That would have been epic!!! Lmao something like that I don’t know. A troll would have been nice lmao

HAHAHA! That's my guy right there!

 

[pisgah101]

Who else do you expect??

 

[dbav]

So who can tell me about this guy? Haha.

 

[QC Dukie]

Who else do you expect??

Stewart and Hurt maybe??

 

[bmbritt]

For some reason I don’t have the luxury to peak there anymore. I just don’t understand why! I’m a saint!

I got banned from blue balled nation too....:/

I’m with you. Banned from both as well as the CBB board for Rivals for telling some Kentucky mod that Zion was playing them for fools and hadn’t really been considering them for a month or two.

It was worth it as I got to watch UK fans burn that UK mod to the ground when Zion announced to Duke. Shortly after, all of a sudden I’m banned from everything although that comment was made 30+ days prior.

 

[HuffyJB]

I am sooooo excited to argue about Vernon Carey's commitment on the defensive end next year. Let the count down begin!

How are his high fives?

 

[bmbritt]

Stewart and Hurt maybe??

Think he’s hinting at Stewart. Will see if he can help pull him to Duke. Just don’t see Hurt coming. Our supposed terrible year in recruiting has got us ranked 4th now and only a couple hundred points behind USC. One other commitment and we are #1 again.

 

[TheDude1]

As of right now assuming Duke didn’t land anyone else and let’s say Tre Jones did come back, would this be the most likely starting lineup next year?

1.Tre
2. Boogie
3. Moore
4. Carey
5. Bolden or Javin or Jack

Wouldn't count on Tre coming back.

 

[Canadian Dukie]

Welcome Vernon smart choice

1.Tre

Really hard to predict the lineup as of now. The 2 biggest things will obviously be if Tre/Bolden come back or leave....and if we can land Stewart/Hurt.
I'm thinking we win the title and both Tre/Bolden leave.
The biggest question becomes...we have a MASSIVE hole at PG, is Goldwire ready to start? From what he's shown this year, I'd say no.

My way too early prediction would be....
PG not currently on the roster.
Alex
Jack
Carey
Stewart

Moore and Boogie are first guys off the bench, K slowly moves them into the starting lineup, possibly taking Alex or Jack's starting job by conference play.

Wow...forgot about Baker too, we are gonna be loaded.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

I’m sure there are idiots saying he got paid to go to Duke I guess they don’t realize his dad was a defensive lineman in the NFL. Like Vernon really needs to get paid to go to Duke one year.

Yep there’s already several posters on THR and RR saying he must’ve gotten paid to choose Duke

Yea I was going back and forth between Alex and Boogie getting the start at the 2. Problem with getting BOTH Stewart and Hurt would be someone might leave the program that might not had intentions of leaving. Don’t want to use the T word but you know what i mean.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Shocking

 

[timo0402]

Welcome to THE BROTHERHOOD!

 

[Mac9192]

I say K shouldn’t retire, but when that sad day comes that he passes away, that no one is told of it. Then we’ll just get the assistants to walk him out like those two from “Weekend at Bernie’s” did.

Long live the Goat.

 

[Skeelow22]

Welcome to Duke Vernon Carey! The Brotherhood!

 

[bullcity gamer]

Somewhere in Chapel Hill and Lexington The Tar Heels and Wildcats are holding hands and singing “Kumbaya” while drinking some of Roy’s cokes and discussing fake classes and biased officiating

 

[DukefanKY]

Yep there’s already several posters on THR and RR saying he must’ve gotten paid to choose Duke

They said WHAT??

What a shocker!!! LOL!!!

I seen where they were already saying yesterday that they didn't want him because he is overrate!!

Must have had some inside info!! Or, past history has them butt hurt and no confidence!!

 

[Dad2ze]

 

[Showenuff]

Bwahahahaha!

Bwahahahaha!

What a day, landed a job I have been after then this great news for the DEVILS.

If tre left, Which could be a bigger possibility, the kid is a stud and i expect him to be dominant late in the year.i wonder if Duke will try and get someone out of the 2020 class to reclassify.

Boogie can handle the ball but idk about his playmaking abilities. But who knows, offenses run alot smoother when you got a dominant big to dump the ball to download. Next years team will have alot of shooters on the perimeter to create space.

Add in Jav as well....

4 big moving pieces right now in Tre/Bolden/Stewart/Hurt

We know Duke will have

AOC/White/Jav/Robinson/Goldwire...with Baker/Carey/Moore/Boogie

Already a lot of talent but still some BIG moving pieces.

 

[bmbritt]

That's probably right. But if they went smaller... Carey at the 5. Baker starting. No Bolden/Javin/Jack starting?

The above may be the better outcome then even landing a kid like Stewart. With Carey and Stewart, we run the risk of ending up like the team with Bagley and Carter, but it would be worse because that would be one less G/F who can shoot from outside on the bench with no minutes available.

Be a risk worth taking but we could end up with a stagnant offense running everything through Carey/Stewart.

 

[skysdad]

I gotta tell you I thought it might be unc but logic kicked in. No way could he sit behind brooks, Huffman and Manley to wait his turn. He would be a junior until he got to start. OFC

 

[dukiejay]

Welcome aboard, Vernon!

I just have to ask, but @skysdad, are you now running a 'Pay the Recruit' scam like the 'Pay the Ref' scam? I'm not judging....just curious.

Just need a good point guard and it would be ok.

 

[Nycdoc01]

Great get. Welcome. Hopefully land Stewart too.

Biggest concern is PG. I don’t see Tre coming back. He’s playing really well. He’s bigger than Tyus. His weakness is his shot. In today’s NBA, 3-point shooting is a must, but I have no doubt he will improve his shot in the future. So yeah, I don’t see him returning. And sorry Goldwire is not leading a team to a chip. I think he can be a good backup. PG/floor leader will be an issue next year.

 

[Showenuff]

So I guess that whole THE SKY IS FALLING when talking about Capel leaving and our recruiting is calmed now?
