And schools will be reaching out to handlers and family members . Pretty much to sum it all up if you except a scholarship to Duke and don’t get much playing time your pretty much auditioning for other schools especially when Duke is on tv so much . Atleast that’s what I got from Scheyer’s comments .
That's the real conversation. Duke plays every game on ACC Network/CW, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS and the NCAA Tournament.
And there it is. Jon wasn’t necessarily complaining or whining about it. He was stating a fact.
30mpg is major minutes, but not like it's abnormal at Duke for their star freshman. It should shock no one if he gets in that 33-35mpg range. Talent like his doesn't come around often.
He will be 33+ in all major games. Whether his season avg ends up being that or not, I have no clue.
I truly think Jon knew the mass exodus was coming. He responded swiftly,and beautifully!! OFC
If you read the article you see where Jon stated there were guys the staff looked at and by time they hit the portal they already had visits already lined up and were committing . I don’t think Jon planned on the mass exodus but what do you really tell a kid who already has one foot out the door. I am intrigued to see the stats at seasons end next year for the seven transfers.
Kon seems like this seasons Powers. Everyone was raving about him and Stewart during the summers sessions and even Jon bragged about both during the season but neither panned out or chose to stay at Duke . I’m sure people will say there is a difference Kon is a slasher or can attack the basket but I want to see him get more then three to mop up minutes .
I think that’s a fair take. I will counter with the fact that no one thought Power or Stewart had OAD potential. Now I don’t foresee Kon as a OAD but some publications have said that.
If he is Duke had a top season . Right now our backcourt is ranked 10th in the country preseason .
And he will be better in minutes 31-33 for having played those minutes much of the season, not for getting 3 more minutes rest twice per week.
I think people look at it like a battery. They think if he’s on the bench for a certain amount of time collectively he recharges. In spirit yes. But it’s a game to game thing, meaning just because he sat for 14 min one game he will be that much more charged up for the next. Not really how it works. It’s why the min thread each year bugs me. One game we may only need him for 18-22min. The next we may need him for 40. It is what it is. Also we want him to be sharp. Sitting for long periods doesn’t help. We are only getting him for one year. I’m not advocating for him playing 40 every night, that’s insane. But I’d be surprised if he wasn’t out there for 33+ in every single big game we have, outside of foul trouble.
Singler, poor guy. Like you said he had to play the 5. Luckily for us and Coop, he will not ever have to play that position unless it’s purely end of game situations where we are up/spacing etc. I’m not worried about him getting worn down either, generally speaking. Every freshman hits a wall, but that’s more mental than physical for guys of his caliber.
Exactly… a games a breeze compared to practice people don’t seem to get that
Not when it comes to playing time and people say minutes are earned in practice ( sorry couldn’t help it ).
Already have one. It's called the "New Lounge." Sponsored by Boeing.
Duke had solid recruits from 98 to 2004. Sadly, if they got in Coach K's doghouse it was a done deal for them.
He was. His role at Duke was 'unexpected' according to his camp.
I remember him doing it at home against Florida, but don’t remember the one at unc.
Maggette did it at unc after literally undressing Jason Capel on an incredible move!!(jock and all).
