Barrett Duke visit

[bigblueinsanity]

You forgot jewelry stores where Dook players can rack up thousands of dollars in jewelry and never pay for it. That's a great benefit.

Getting all the calls every game. And cakewalk in the tourny every year too

 

[Mike-D]

?

Duke lock

They all are until they aren't.

 

[BoxterS]

K and Capel don't have to "negative recruit"......they've got plenty of positive things.....5 rings, acc banners, olympic gold.. top draft picks, NBA all stars.......what's not to like?

The fact that you'll be surrounded by obnoxious, self-righteous, Yankees.

 

[BlueDevilWildcat]

The overabundance of nerds, the lack of even remotely attractive girls, having to always watch your back so you don't get tripped, and the constant fear that at any given moment Jeff Capel might try to eat you.

Ha, ha, you're safe from Capel unless you look like a donut.

There are plenty of hot chicks at Duke.

 

[Willy4UK]

There are plenty of hot chicks at Duke.

3 hot chicks doesn't equal "plenty".

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Hopefully they show him one of his their great skits. That will win him over surely

 

[TrustinCal]

Hahaha. Duke is a great school for a basketball player to go to for many reasons. This is NOT one of them.

And let's not think that Duke isn't 'paying' their players via their students. Find a student with alumni parents, have him become lab partners then friends with an athlete. Funnel money to the athlete via his friend. That happens ALL THE TIME at Duke.

 

[Nubb16]

I dont see where Reddish and Barrett co exist...forgive me.

I thought we had a great shot at Barrett until now. Thanks kyups

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

If you dont think Caple isn't negatively recruiting your dreaming.

 

[Cat Ballou]

Yeah - like Okafor's infamous rich kid roommate.

I do think Duke has appeal for certain types of kid's and parents. There are kids like Carter and Tatum from very ambitious and upwardly mobile families who I think see going to Duke and hanging with rich kids, along with Duke's prestigious rep, as a sign that they've made it, or confers some kind of upper class status on them. Absolutely nothing wrong with that - and usually kids like that are still great kids.

But kids who find all that appealing can also tend to be spoiled, selfish, cocky, not particularly fond of hard work, or possessing of a certain sense of entitlement - general douchbaggery - and Duke has had their fair share of those as well. Many would say one or more of those adjectives pretty much sum up the prototypical hateable Duke player.

Kids who come to UK tend to be more regular kids, who want hang around with other regular kids in a school populated by regular kids. Under Cal, I think the adjective that most sums up the kids he has recruited is hard-working. Cal has made sure that kids who come here know they are goin to work hard, and they can't be afraid of competition. Those traits serve kids very well in the NBA, and is one reason I think our guys do so well.

Duke appeals to the pretentious, entitled kids whose parents know their social stature will be elevated by their child attending Duke.

 

[hoggwildcat]

K and Capel don't have to "negative recruit"......they've got plenty of positive things.....5 rings, acc banners, olympic gold.. top draft picks, NBA all stars.......what's not to like?

Maybe recruiting against other programs

Wrong, that's exactly what they do in head to head recruiting battles against Kentucky. We are the gold standard of college basketball. Cal is the greatest college basketball recruiter to ever coach the game. Cal is the originator of one and done. The only way Duke can out recruit Cal is with negative recruiting, example just ask Marquis Bolden's mom.

 

[Larry Skaggs]

If you come to Duke, we are not taking Shittu

Good points but that's a whole lot of assumptions...

[yoshukai]

Can't wait for the hand-wringing over a meaningless comment after the visit.

Or the jubilation.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Ha, ha, you're safe from Capel unless you look like a donut.

There are plenty of hot chicks at Duke.

No doubt....

https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/threads/just-saw-the-ugliest-duke-woman-in-history.216770/

I'm sure that @Willy4UK agrees.

 

[yoshukai]

And if your mom is a house cleaner she can get a management job at Glaxo, one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world ! Kinda like parental reclassification.

From what I've heard , Duke basketball players get their ho's up the road in Chapel Hill. It's a thing to have a blonde wearing UNC stuff hanging on your arm on Dukes campus.

 

[Fitch44]

It's also a thing to be a Duke player, go to unc party and after passing out drunk get T-bagged.
Reggie Love anyone?

 

[kyups01]

I thought we had a great shot at Barrett until now. Thanks kyups

Ur screen name says it all.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Heading to east Durham to play golf at lunch, shall I detour to Duke's campus in my UK-blue truck (w/ NC UK-license plate) and show Barrett that UK fans are everywhere.

Where did you play?

 

[KyFaninNC]

Duke appeals to the pretentious, entitled kids whose parents know their social stature will be elevated by their child attending Duke.

Like Trip Allen.

 

[BBUK]

Like Trip Allen.

I sure hope Ole Grayson goes on a tripping spree tonight or tomorrow...

 

[Nubb16]

Ur screen name says it all.

That's not what your momma says

 

[KYFOSSIL]

That's not what your momma says

Really?!?! A "your momma" insult??
Have you been watching "classic TV again?

 

[kyups01]

That's not what your momma says

Ur lame.
Next.....

 

[wromanp7]

Ur lame.
Next.....

Ur mommas lame.

 

[Jakarii]

It's a good thing recruits don't pick schools bygone looking women or Arizona would be ranked top 3 every year year with a lot of number one rankings. UCLA, UNC and Howard university would be up there as well

 

[Nubb16]

Ur lame.
Next.....

It wasn't lame last night when your momma came over

 

[BBUK]

Your Momma is a tremendous comeback. Works everytime.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Hope he has Zemmiphobia , takes one look at K and takes off running .

 

[cawoodsct]

Your momma so fat she puts mayonnaise on her aspirin.

 

[UKrazycat2]

Yo momma so fat, she puts on dem red ear rings, from behind she looks like a school bus.

Well that shoots down the theory that ul was only asked to join the ACC to furnish the 'ho's.

Nominated for a Postie

 

[LTDukeFan]

Yeah - like Okafor's infamous rich kid roommate.

Pretty sure his roommate was Tyus Jones....is he an infamous rich kid?

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

1 of his room mates (notice the key S in there?) Everyone in that area knows they were rooming with a billionaire student.

 

[BlueBlood66]

Who was it?

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Who was it?

I'm not going to p*ss off a billionaire's son by throwing his name out there. I mean there was an article where Okafor slipped up and said he'd be rooming with a billionaire and within 5 minutes the article was taken down and changed....
