Off-season thoughts

[Dattier]

I’d love it if all 5 Knueppel bros matriculate to Duke.

We have 15 scholarships for the first time. I’ll take Sarr if he comes. I wouldn’t want that to end our roster-building. I’d still like another mature rotation player, regardless of position.

Hawthorn announcing tomorrow.

I’ve not heard much regarding him recently.

In my opinion Duke will end up with Sarr and Wilkins (reclass). Coward will stay in the draft. Sarr is on campus today.

That seems to be the consensus. Sarr visited Kansas last week. Coward is up to the high teens in mock drafts, so he is likely gone.

100% have to lock up Sarr if Cedric isn’t coming. Sarr is a must. #17 recruit is a nice addition.

I wanted Coward. Sarr is raw and talented, but we will be too young.

Def wanted Coward but sounds like that ship has sailed. Rather have Sarr than not.

With Coward Duke was preseason 8-10 range. With Sarr and no Coward probably in that preseason 10-12 range I would assume…

It depends how good Sarr is. I know he is talented and has upside, but an inconsistent OAD guy is not what this team needs. These foreign guys can be hit and miss. Coward checked all my boxes, but a bird in the hand...Now if both Coward and Sarr came then we'd be cooking.

If Coward isn’t available then Sarr is the best option for Duke. He is just as talented as Coward just younger.

If we were to get both, we would be automatic top-5 and final-four favorites.

There are still some really good portal combo guards n Small Forwards left. Why not go after a proven college player instead of Sarr?
I understand Coward was that player but Scheyer could have went after some other talented college players.

 

[christophero]

1 senior and one junior is too young. You need balance.

 

[dukecorey]

Don’t know the list of players coming back and available in the portal yet. Still some time before that will be officially. But either way I would take Sarr over all of them except Coward.

 

[dukecorey]

Last year was only 2 senior and 2 junior.

 

[christophero]

That is a big difference. Both our recent final four teams had upperclassmen. We do have 3 sophomores back which I appreciate. Proctor or Coward would have been nice.

1 senior and one junior is too young. You need balance.

2014-2015 Championship Team had 1 senior and 2 juniors, Cook, Jefferson, and MP3

Starters:
Tyus
Cook
Jones
Winslow
Okafor

Bench:
Jefferson
MP3
Allen

Cook was the only upperclassman in the starting line up

 

[christophero]

Well that is one more upperclassman lol.. All I am asking for is one more.
