    I highly doubt any five star kid coming will be happy taking a minor role on a team. They've been told how good they are, multiple colleges were after them, so if they don't feel the love at their first destination, out the door they go. It goes both ways though. Coaches don't have to wait...

    True but Davis drives their bus.

    Don't forget about Evans, who some say is a dog. Knueppel is a top 20 kid. Are we expecting him to be like Power was? I've heard he's better. We can try projecting that this guy will play some at this or that position, but very rarely have things gone the way we think they will. My point is...

    Aren't we pretty loaded at the small forward spot? Jon brought in the #1, 12, 17, and 51st rated guys at that position. Plus the transfer Gillis. We are also stocked (minutes wise) at the guard spots with Foster and Proctor. These comments sound similar to what many Duke fans are saying.

    Wait, we’re criticizing the holes and Davis for returning? I get why he’s staying, and I don’t blame him. He will make great money, and be the king on campus. The only reason we are mad is because he makes them better and we have to play him at least twice. Let’s also be honest. Duke...

    Almost everybody is ravaged. Getting the right guys from the portal can make or break your year.

    I'd say Jon plays quite a few guys early on. But the rotation should dwindle down to 7, maybe 8 by mid January. It's what all good teams do.

    Brown and Gillis are really good pickups. Brown will help, but not sure how much better he will be than if Stewart had all summer working on his game. If he is an upgrade over Stewart, that's even better. Our freshmen (other than Flagg) would have benefitted in terms of playing time had Power...

    And sit who? We have Foster and Proctor. Plus Evans, Harris, Knueppel. We also are in the hunt for Gillis.

    Personally, I think that’s too many guards on one team. But that’s Baylor’s problem to deal with. Duke would not benefit with Roach, Foster, and Proctor all together.

    How good of a guard can Jon get? Come to Durham, you’ll sit more than you’ll play. Unless we have injuries. Which speaking of, every good team is an injury away from one of their stars to not being contenders. If Gillis comes, is Jon saying that Evan’s, Knueppel, Harris, Flagg, and Brown...

    I hope you’re right @bullcity gamer about the holes not being good next season, but go back to before last season and read many posters comments about them being bad. If RJ stays, and they grab a couple solid players out of the portal, they’ll be ok. It’s nothing personal against Mitchell...

    It’s over, but the 3 guard offense hurt us. We didn’t use that to our advantage by running more. So I think it’s fair to suggest Jon should have rotated Proctor, Foster, and Roach, with McCain getting the majority from the other guard spot. I’m bringing that up because I think it hurt Stewart...

    Maybe Stewart felt slighted, maybe he didn’t want to compete for the starting spot, maybe he was not given a fair shake his freshman season. I don’t know. It could be that Jon wouldn’t give into a player, and for what he feels is betterment of the team, is rolling the dice on someone else...

    Good point Devil. We've pounded our chests for years that the talent wants to come and be a part of The Brotherhood. We can say what we want, but this doesn't look good on Duke. Jon will definitely have to adjust, and either play the kids he recruits, or we will have departures like Stewart...

    I get it, but this is a post made out of a lot of anger. You can recruit hungry 2 & 3 stars, but if you do that at Duke, you'll find yourself in the unemployment line, and we'll all be chapped as a chicken's ass that the holes are spanking us on a regular basis. Your point about kids now being...

    We’re moving fast to having contracts. One or two years. Negotiating NIL, playing time, and drawn up by lawyers. In this era, can you blame Power? Rated high out of H.S. to sit for majority of the time. Then you see the staff is signing multiple guys that have games similar to yours...

    Using my Lee Corso voice: NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND. It's not out of the question that one (or more) of our freshmen to be may become freshmen that didn't.

    College sports have turned into a total sh%* show. Pay the players many said. Sounds fair in theory. But anyone with half a brain could see this was going to be disastrous. Like I said earlier, the pendulum has swung too far to the other side. There has to be someone in charge, and it can't...

    Speaking of chatter, what is Davis going to do? I'll personally drive him to the airport if he'll transfer.
