I'm not used to posting very often or creating threads. I am trying to get more into it, so this may not be the right title for this or may belong to another thread. But.. I try not to have too many discussions about Duke/UNC with Carolina fans because I end up getting very frustrated. Last night I was reminded of this. A family friend that happens to be a UNC fan, claimed that Duke doesn't develop players, that one and done guy aren't "real" Duke guys, that Bolden was recruited over and lied to, that Bolden would be starting any other place in the country, that Carolina would have him as a top guy that scores, that Frank Jackson was lied to about playing time and that's why he left because Duval was coming, and that Roy has more titles in the time he's been there than K has and that proves everything. Also, that UNC doesn't need to go the one and done route because they develop.
I guess I am just venting because I don't have many Duke fans and my wife doesn't get it.
It makes me mad because it is such a one sided view. Coach K has proven he does't need the one and done talent (all of his titles except 2015). I feel every year, one and done era or not, you recruit the best guys for your team and if they happen to be better than guys that are on the roster, that is part of it. Ans as far as developing guys: Zoubek, Marahall and Mason Plumlee, Lance Thomas, A. Jefferson, Melchionni, and many others. I know this was a lot, but again, I guess I just needed to vent.
