I want whatever helps us raise a banner. I think you guys might be hyping Reeves up a bit too much. Like I said, I hope you all are right.
Transfer portal thread
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
I agree, I don't care if they come from the portal or where as long as they help us get #6. I'd love to land Holmes as our starting 5.
I’m getting you on a hot dog and Coors light diet to boost your optimism.
Yea UConn’s big is good but no one knew him until mid-season. I think too many are envisioning Jah or Wendell Carter here, teams can definitely make it to the FF without these types of guys.
I wouldn’t say that . This isn’t the A-10( isn’t that Dayton’s conference ?). I think he’s insurance as well. Duke saw two potential starters injured before preseason began . No reason not to think Reeves couldn’t start . It’s a long off season and he has Young to work with .
It's Coor's Light, Hebrew National hot dogs, spicy brown mustard. Get it right you uncultured swine.
The Dayton kid is 40th on a mock draft. Dayton nearly made the tournament and won 22 games. If you think Reeves is better than that I'll have what you're having. Reeves is going to be good eventually.

Agreed. DaRon Holmes starts if he comes here.
If Holmes comes to Duke (and I think there is a good chance he does) it isn't to come off the bench.
I see two different players with one older and more experienced. That said, reeves will surprise some of y’all.
I just hope it's not because Flip is leaving. We don't usually get that level of transfer. (I'm a worrier its what I do) But so far fantastic news.

Really?
FR: Big East (BE) all-freshman team
SO: All BE 1st team; finalist for Jabbar award
JR: preseason BE POY
He was well - known. If you follow college basketball you knew his potential and production.
In national talks? Nah. Again what teams have “final four bigs”? Uconn?
Miami? Lol. SDSU? Come on now.
Again back to my original point above:
In fairness though, do these final 4 teams have a front court better than that? Uconn maybe? Reeves will be fine and I bet if he stays he’ll make a nice impact next year.
I remember y’all saying at beginning of season how uconn would be here on the back of this guy 😉
There will be teams like Tennessee out there. So yes, we need more.
We shall see I guess, I’m pulling for the kid. I’m still trying to get the definition of “final four bigs”. I’m being serious - I think we are being a bit narrow minded considering the state of college basketball. FAU is in with a 7-footer, who just two seasons ago, could barely hang on to a ball.
Oh I know. I think Reeves can be something special, but in year 3. He will give us contributions next season, though.
I like Reeves and for all the talk on here of people wanting players to stay and develop but then also want transfer portal players , you have to pick your poison .
I really have a hard time seeing Reeves stay after next season unless he get real minutes . Maybe not starter minutes but at least ten a game. Kids are not waiting three years any more to see if they get minutes .

Who’s to say that was the role he was told ?maybe this past season due to Lively being at Duke . Only thing I remember is him saying both sides agreed for him to red shirt to get stronger and adapt to college level ball but that surely changed when Lively got hurt and he lifted his red shirt . The red shirt should have never been lifted . We look at it like the kid still needs to develop. Players look at it now like they can always go somewhere else and get more pt .
Reeves is getting minutes next year. We can go back and forth about whomever. It's easy to adjust to Reeves and Young then to get a transfer and make adjustments.
Who cares who starts. Produce whilst on the court!!
Damn it i need a beer. Cheers.

Getting 2 (and counting) starters back is a big step towards #6. 3 if you count Young. It got us to the final four last year.
Whats up crazy man lol. Been a minute. You still got that one red sports car? Its been a min but I think it was a Mercedes.
I agree if Flip comes back that we could avoid the portal. Otherwise, think you need a post player. Someone that can get 6-8 rebounds per game and play 20+ minutes. I wouldn’t mind us going after a guy like Kadin Shedrik. He’s started 35+ games in the ACC and has played for one of the best coaches in the game. He’s 6’11, 240 and he’s pretty damn athletic. Think him and Young could be a good change up for opponents.
Have you seen the teams that are involved for Krissa? It’s pretty embarrassing. His two top teams are WVU and Nebraska. Not sure what the kid is thinking.
Reportedly, Dusty May is signing new contract at FAU. What a totally refreshing change in this world of no commitment and no loyalty and ME first.

I'm sure Duke will get someone in the portal. It's just a question of whether the coaches feel that after assessing what we have, we need a starter or a guy like Young or John who can be a 7th man. Hopefully someone better than Grandison.
Flip back and the Dayton kid is my hope. We would be loaded and have similar experience to the Banchero team. Even one of those two we'd be very good.
