From twitter:

@AdamRoweTDD

Duke freshman guard Trevon Duval is suspended for the Blue Devils’ exhibition game vs. Bowie State


Anyone hear anything about this?

 

[LetsGoDukies]

Ugh! Why can't we just have an injury and drama free season for once?!

 

[TWARedRaider01]

wonder what the heck happened

 

[jwill133]

This stinks.

 

[DukefanKY]

Not sure I believe this....not yet. I think it would be a bigger story....all over ESPN and talk radio. I have watched and listened to both today, and no mention of it...hope I don't get proven wrong.......it will suck if it's true.

Excerpt:

Freshman Trevon Duval is suspended for the Blue Devils' game against Bowie State for a violation of team standards, the team announced Friday afternoon. Duval had seven points and five assists in Duke's victory against Northwest Missouri State last Friday and was the top-ranked point guard in the Class of 2017.

And it begins.

He probably had a fight in practice or something. He's not the typical guy Coach K goes for. He has an edge. I like the edge though

 

[timo0402]

Everyone relax.

 

[QC Dukie]

Everyone relax.

Exactly

I love the edge but we still need him on the floor.

 

[Mpm277]

I heard he was caught sacrificing children on Halloween night. Not confirmed, but big if true.

 

[CatcherForLife6]

Everyone relax.

Guys... cmon

 

[Dattier]

Everyone relax.

 

[PixelDevil]

Not gonna speculate without any more info, but that's not how you want to start your one season.

 

[dukehokie]

By most accounts this is nothing in practice. Sounds like an example sit. I doubt we ever know exactly what happened, but if he only misses one game, I wouldn’t get too worked up over this.

 

[skysdad]

If it's gonna happen now's the time. He's gotta learn. Either he becomes better because of it or he pouts about it and let's it effect his value to the team. OFC

 

[2 skerz 3]

Everyone relax.

Exactly

So you guys obviously know why he's suspended then right?

 

[hart2chesson]

Everyone relax.

Timo, for my own peace of mind, why should we "relax.?"Just curious since this is the man we thought was our meal ticket at PG. Dont be offended by my question, I just want your thoughts. It seems awful early for him to be getting out of line. I would think he would want to put his best foot forward, than take two steps back....

OFC

We don't know the reason he was suspended. No reason to panic. thr will have a field day but who cares. We will see the character of this young man as to how he reacts to it. I believe he will take it like a Blue Devil and suck it up. OFC

 

[pisgah101]

Sounds like he was relaxing too much.

Like a guy on the insiders site said, you never know what's going on over there at Fort Knox. A foot injury turns into a redshirt, toe injury leaves a star freshman out 85% of the season... it just adds to the craziness that the program has had over last few years.

 

[timo0402]

Mac and Hokie essentially nailed it. We won’t ever really know, but sitting out an exhibition game isn’t exactly a “here we go again” scenario. It’s happened before I’m sure it’ll happen again. If things grow from here I’ll worry.

Mods will like that answer Sky...A suspension is never good, especially when a young team is learning and developing an identity. OFC

Don’t know anyone that will say it’s a “good thing”. But certainly not a reason to hit the panic button.

 

[dukehokie]

The worst part of this for me are the “sounds about right for Tre” quotes I’m seeing here and on Twitter. The kid is actually a good kid, and believe me, we’ve had worse people at Duke that people love. He’s not somebody “different that Duke hasn’t really recruited before.”

He made a mistake and they will move on. Seriously this won’t be a continued annoyance.

Exhibition or regular season it’s a very poor way to start the season for a guy that K is just handing the keys to the Porsche. Hopefully he gets the message and becomes better for this.

 

[dukephysics]

He probably lost a video game and punched a door.

 

[BluePhil]

A suspension is great if it fixes the issue. Hope it does and we move on and becomes such a nonissue that in a few games we forget this even happened.

 

[peterjurkinsquirtsroywilliams]

HOF coach Roy Williams would make Duval run laps until he passed out! Just ask PJ Hairston!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

No one thinks this is a good thing, but there are too many serious things to worry about besides a player being suspended for an exhibition game. If it turns out it's a bad situation, well, we won't be docked points by not worrying about it sooner.

[Showenuff]

I'm hearing he posted some very inappropriate content on snapchat and twitter and has been missing K's curfew times.

 

[Showenuff]

Tested K's limits, found out they aren't very long.

 

[Showenuff]

Him AND Javin push a little to hard on Twitter sometimes, need to stop.

 

[hart2chesson]

Its not a good start and I am not "hitting the panic button," but its probably fairly serious for it less than two weeks before MSU. ONE positive: bet Goldwire inside has a smile very wide! Step up and make it count young man....Hearing the Duval issue has something to do w/"snapchat/social media."

OFC

 

[paniccorn25]

I'm sure this is just K letting the young man know his place. He probably did something silly. Late to meeting/practice, out past curfew, something of that nature. If it were a bigger issue ESPN would be running with it. I'll take the "wait and see" method myself.

 

[Showenuff]

hart, there is no "good time" considered when K teaches someone a lesson. Kid screwed up , K's sending a message. I like it.

 

[jwill133]

Curfew is overrated anyway. But on a serious note, I'm glad K is sending him a message this early.
