"I haven't used any of my visits yet, and my father advised me to check out other schools. So out of respect for my father, I'm going to look at other...
OK, as promised in the NBA thread I am starting up this thread. Its a little early as training does not start til July and the Championships dont start til August, but since the discussion was started over there I figured some folks might be interested. (And heck we've been discussing our starting lineup for November for a month already!) Below are all the posts from the NBA thread. If a...
Looks like Sean May's NBA career may be approaching the end. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nba/news/story?id=5544369 He and McCants are struggling to make a team - mostly due to injuries and medical conditions. But they will always have that National Championship.
Yes, it's true. Forde wrote a legitimate feature story comparing the Plumlees and the Zellers, focusing on their vastly different paths to college basketball success. I had to double check, but there is no sensationalizing about Duke, and actually very little about their college careers in general, other than talking about making their college choices in high school (and mentioning the...
I do not profess to be the person who came up with this nor do I necessarily agree with the rankings, but some dude spent a ton of time looking up clips of some of the best dunks and came up with a video highlight of the top 50 in college hoops history. It is pretty good, even if it naturally skews toward more modern stuff because there are not as many video sources of stuff done more than a...
No leaks yet but with football players among those being interviewed, it appears this is a football program investigation and not basketball related.. IC broke the story earlier today. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/unc/story/7970534/
I know this is a little early but we have seen and heard what some of the guys we will be going after within in the next year or so... We have officially offered J.P. Tokoto and reportedly have a high intrest in Justin Anderson and L.J Rose... This is a thread to dicuss all our possible targets and any news from this class...
Today's New York Times reports that UK's foremaost recruit (center Enes Kanter) received more than $100,000 in cash and benefits over a three-year period from a Turkish professional team (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/08/sports/ncaabasketball/08basketball.html?ref=sports).
Sometime next week Coach K and Chris Collins will return, hopefully with the Gold and both will jump right into recruiting. The in home visits will soon be set as the period will get hot through the November where some kids could pull the trigger. I'm looking forward to watching what Austin Rivers does as the season nears and I can tell you that lots of things are in the works already. ...
from Duke "Duke Football Injury Report September 9, 2010 At Wake Forest No injuries to report"
Howdy all! Any chance folks would be willing to give some thoughts on these Wake Forest and NC State rosters, as being made for a basketball video game? One note about overall values; the more well-rounded a guy is, the higher his numbers, simply because he is a big higher in a bunch of different ratings... so a great one dimensional guy may not be as highly rated as a decent multi-faceted...
From Duke press release "Duke Athletics will add eight sections of temporary bleachers totaling 3,904 seats for the Blue Devils’ matchup with Alabama on Saturday, Sept. 18 in Wallace Wade Stadium. Kickoff for the ABC-televised contest is set for 3:30 PM ET. “This is a unique and exciting situation,” said Duke Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White. “Interest in Duke Football...

Well its officially game week and our guys are getting ready to take on Wake Forest a 12:00 p.m. this Saturday (televised on Raycom), so I figured it was about time for us to start prepping too. I think this game is going to tell us a whole lot about the rest of the season. Oh, and if you can make it, go to the game! I went two years ago and it was a blast (despite the final score), the Duke...
Okay, I thought I would make up another one of these since the roster is final and we now know what the complete schedule is. I will start: Over/Under 7 Assists a game for KI

As some you may have noticed, we've made a few changes around here. The obvious one is cosmetic: we've changed the overall look and feel, and also added a separate front end for smart phones. We'll be tweaking these a bit as we get feedback, especially the mobile look which will probably undergo a complete overhaul or two before we're content. We ran into a lot of issues with Internet...
Ok so call me a nerd but every year I look forward to playing EA Sports NCAA College Basketball during the season on whatever system xbox, ps3, etc. So I found out today that they will not be making a game this year. Even worst EA Sports competitor 2K will not be making a college game either. I don't know about all of you but I am VERY upset!!! It sucks that this has to happen the year after...
