I heard that as well and was definitely surprised. Georgetown could be a nice landing spot.
To be fair, they are 9-4 in NCAAT games 2015-present.
Not as bad as I thought. 2015 was probably the best ND team ever? They almost took down undefeated UK in the Elite8. They beat us 2 of 3 that year, though the game in Cameron we were once up 45 points.
Dan I would love to have Brey back on the Duke bench. As effective as he and K once were, imagine the experience he would bring now. He's genuinely a nice person as well. The only problem I foresee: Even if Jon wanted to hire him, K would never allow it. OFC
I agree about Brey, but why do you think K would never allow that? Hasn’t K said over and over that Jon is in total control of this program now?
And Dan who knows? Perhaps you're right. I know they recently had a great reunion.
Curious Dan, regarding Brey being on the Duke bench as a Scheyer asst, why do you think "that won't happen?"
Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me for Brey to leave a HC ACC gig just to become an assistant for an ACC team.
Perhaps it would be less stressful at this stage of Brey's career. Lots of difference between offering suggestions and making the final decision. Personally I think Brey is comfortable enough in his own skin he wouldn't look at it as a demotion.
I can buy in to most of your points. I think it just really depends on what environment Coach Brey is seeking. Duke basketball has evolved greatly over the last decade. OFC
If they were serious students then the transfers would have stayed! You trying to tell me Creighton, ole Miss, Texas tech, even Boston college or USC holds as much value as a Duke degree? Players can not help the brand Duke has become . They come to Duke seeing if this privately owned college can build such a brand like this imagine what they can teach me about building my brand ! You really can’t blame a kid for using a schools success to help them their selfs become successful.
I don't subscribe to The Athletic, but there's an article today quoting Scheyer as gradually "bringing in less of the OAD's." True, you can't blame kids for using Duke as an NBA pitstop (which is what we've largely become), yet we can curtail it and further stress the value of a Duke degree. I am glad Jon is committed to changing the narrative. OFC
But he’s not . He’s simply saying he’s looking at all avenues in the article basically . You can look at his recruiting stance by looking at the 23-25 class. He’s still going off the same module as K but hoping he can convince kids to stay . Out of next years class Mgbako is the only suspected OAD . However you can’t say that without seeing them at this level . K caught onto it and Jon will too. Some players just aren’t going to stay and role players won’t either because they don’t want to wait. Not being negative but sometimes we look at what coaches say as a sign of change rather then saying the right thing that needs to be heard for players .
In the article he talks about bring smaller classes, like 3 guys rather than a huge class (like 6 freshmen). If he does that, I think he will have to hit the portal at times, and that's not a bad thing.
