    I don’t know for sure but one of the reasons I heard he was 6th man of the year in big 10 was his defense and hustle plays.

    Yep. They traded 4 guys for two guys that can for sure give you 20+ minutes a game. The other 4 are either not guaranteed to make a leap to starter level minutes next year or program guys. I still wish Stewart would have stuck around because I think he would bring great value/energy off the...

    I think Flagg could easily play the 4 in college and pros however his game is probably more like a 3 at least in terms of pre guard heavy nba style. I am guessing Duke feels getting a player like brown will maximize flaggs role to not get beat up all game. I know some will be pissed but I think...

    I think he will start most games. Duke identified him pretty early and thinking they want Flagg to be more in a sf role. And guessing they went hard for him because they didn’t feel Stewart would be ready to give 20-25 minutes a game yet.

    Oh wow. Would not think that would be an option for him. Great player but not NBA level skill.

    Did Ingram transfer? I am pretty sure he was a junior last year. They have Davis, cadeau, and a stud freshmen. Unfortunately They will be fine once they fill some gaps in the portal.

    Flagg is considered one of the best recruits in a long while. I don’t know what others have returning but the backcourt players coming back have to be considered a top 5 backcourt. That is an awesome 3 player core. I get what you are saying and I’m not happy about the look of all transfers...

    Yep. Brown was in the starting lineup by early conference games.

    Losing Stewart hurts but I think ultimately Duke is about to get what a lot of fans have wanted. Experience and toughness via the portal. The same thing will probably happen again next year with 1-3 of our incoming freshmen. They give Duke a chance and if they are outside that top 5 on the...

    lol. Transfer portal is a shit show. Sad about Stewart. He seemed to have a good attitude and love Duke. I guess this means we got brown. I would much rather have Stewart than any of the freshmen bigs we got.

    Yep. The core Duke has is a great place to be. Plus they will get players to fill gaps. Duke will always have a top roster at the end of the day. It may not be the one we expected given free agency but they will fill spots with top notch players. Then after that it is all about how it meshes

    Very likely. But will add the one caveat that Duke would probably match any NIL deal for a player they want to be a part of their core. For example if kon got limited minutes next year and was considering the transfer portal but Duke saw him as a core player in his second year, Duke would...

    When did the transfer portal actually start and without a restriction of sitting out a year. That whole thing just seemed to sneak up on me. First it was grad transfer thing and then suddenly I woke up from or during Covid and it was everyone.

    They will need to do some form of team control like baseball or the quality and interest in the sport will dip IMO. They have a lot to figure out. It is exciting to get new players but not at the cost of losing so many. I am for the players getting paid given how much was made off of them and...

    I don’t see how It will not affect the quality of US players because college sports will be less about teaching and more of a GM role. Coaches that want to coach/teach will leave the NCAA. NIL is fine but the transfer stuff has to be resolved. Also some fans will leave because part of the reason...

    I have no idea how this works but I am guessing with NIL it can become very much like managing a pro team under cap restrictions. From an NIL perspective Duke prioritized Flagg, foster, and proctor. Last year it was probably proctor, roach, and filipowski. They probably want roach back but maybe...

    It seems we need to improve guard and post depth. Brown meets post depth but Gillis seems to be a wing or stretch 4. Is this because Duke sees the need to be bigger and more physical since the game is so cluttered and limited driving lanes? Or will they go with another guard?

    The transfers suck but we are spoiled as Duke fans because Duke will be able to put together a great roster. Not all rosters win a title but I feel confident scheyer and Duke will put together one of the best in the country.

    Blake’s was recruited as a program guy and he did that great. Played with great energy, was tough, and defended. His shot wasn’t too bad either. Now that he graduated I hope he finds a program where he can get more minutes.

    Sad to see Mitchell go because upperclassmen are so important now. However he didn’t seem bought in this year. Another school will also give him more touches. I hope he can fix his shot. Seems like an easy fix since almost shot off the heal of his hand.
