Didn't want to create a thread but Huggy Bear got a million dollar fine, a 3 game suspension and will be terminated if something similar happens again.

So why are you doing it on this Duke site? Poor guy has enough shade from websites who actually should be commenting upon him, good or bad, unlike this one. why is you post relevant to anything we should be doing here? Try something else. OFC
Yeah Chris! You just made the first post ever here that wasn't about Duke basketball. Shame on you man!
You'll love to hear this Shey. Brendon Marks says the staff are "tracking portal guards in case Roach doesn't return."
If this is the true case then I really hope Schutt and Blakes look for a fresh start. ( I’m A’s die hard Duke fan as they come but this one is a head scratcher in an already loaded back court even if Roach didn’t return .)
When I said defense I meant in regards to aziz
Doesn’t matter. Seth was still a hell of a player at Duke but came from a small conference. He can play for us and be very successful defensively. This is the top defender of that conference, it’s not like the dudes just any other scrub from a small school.
Ok I get that but he’ll be coming into a new system and new team . We will see what happens .
Kansas Center Ernest Udeh Jr. enters the portal. Was a McDonalds All-American in last year's class.
Averaged 2.6 and 1.8 in 8 minutes per game. Honestly most impressed with 0.7 SPG and 0.6 BPG with that amount of playtime.
247 High School Scouting Report:
"Has a tremendous physique at 6-10, including a 7-2 wing span. Is a quality athlete for a center, plays with energy and runs rim to rim. Excels at snatching and finishing lob passes. Is also a dangerous offensive rebounder with his pursuit of positioning and good hands. Not a polished offensive player. Has limited shooting range. Tends to play upright and needs to refine his footwork. Does have a go-to right handed jump hook. Not a ball handler and is mechanical in his passing but tends to make the correct read. Is a quality rim protector on defense. Is engaged on that end. Controls space as a rebounder."

I doubt Duke will pursue him, but he sounds interesting because of his potential on defense and rim protection. Plus, adding him wouldn't scare anyone off this year or in future recruiting.
That Kansas guy would be perfect. Big strong guy, rebounds and plays D, doesn't want to be the man. has a few years left. If you think we don't need more heft up front go watch the Tenn. game. I know the refs screwed us. But still.
The center we've been waiting for, can it happen? Will it happen? I hope so
Doesn’t mean too much but Mark Mitchell and Sean Stewart commented on his announcement post lol
I'm sure most of these players know each other but that's interesting they commented on his post.
Sounds like the word is out are shopping for a 5. These guys want to hang a banner. He had 4 blocks in 13 minutes when we played Kansas.

Former 4 star UCLA center Mac Etienne hits the portal. Could mean Bona is returning, or they are signing that Spanish center. Mac has talent but he is a head case. We don't want him.
Dunn from Cheats enters the portal. On paper, that roster is pretty weak. LOVE it.
Don't expect Bandaogo to be a Blue Devil. The focus is turning to Udeh.

This is good to hear. I would prefer Bandaogo but I do think that Duke should try to get a big body that can rebound, defend, add quality depth and contribute. Udeh has a few more years of eligibility left and after next season, Duke Flip and Young are gone. That leaves Reeves and Stewart, so having another big would be a nice luxury.
I would be super happy to get him. Bandaogo is probably the better player currently but Udeh has more eligibility and a much higher ceiling. Per 40 minutes Udeh 3.2 SPG and 2.9 BPG as a freshman. I believe he's got the ability to be a conference DPOY wherever he goes.
My last Udeh post. On The Athletic's updated transfer portal player rankings he's number 5.
Arthur Kaluma, Grant Nelson, Julian Phillips, Olivier Nkamhoua, Udeh, RayJ Dennis, Bandaogo.
Here's the blurb on him:
Arthur Kaluma, Grant Nelson, Julian Phillips, Olivier Nkamhoua, Udeh, RayJ Dennis, Bandaogo.
Here's the blurb on him:
Udeh is perfect for us. 20-25 minutes for him would still allow Young to contribute and Reeves to develop. And he could stay 2-3 years. He's not ball dominant. Dude is huge and has way more upside than Theo or Young. Those highlights are against Baylor and Texas so no question about level of competition. He's a little raw but moves well and can finish at the basket. Yes please. Udeh and Roach back and I would be very excited about next year. Udeh will have a lot of teams after him.
Just saw St. John's got that Dingle kid from Penn. Big pick up for Pitino. Averaged 23 per game.

Say this is the roster, which is what many here are asking for:
*Roach
*Proctor
*McCain
*Foster
*Stewart
*Powers
*Flip
*Transfer Big?
*Mitchell
*Young
Blakes
Schutt
Reeves
Begovich
According to devils den, all 4 freshmen are rated top 20
Unless the ncaa has added minutes to the games, how is everyone going to be happy??

Everyone will not be happy. The players will have to buy - in to a 'mission and purpose'.
