The media will spin this as something glorious that K did to ensure the health and well being of this young Dukie Superstar.
Is he still a part of The Brotherhood or just an honorary member now?
Duke is officially toast

Well, you know the old saying. When the going gets tough.....oh wait, that was for past generations. Now it’s words can hurt and I need a crying towel and a safe space.I guess it’s the woke generation that came up with opting out. This world truly has a bleak future unless something changes the direction of our youth
You aren't kidding this is turning college basketball into hot garbage. The generation today totally SUCKS! I miss the older generation where you didn't have a bunch of quitters and everyone gets trophies!The NCAA need to clean this sh!t up!
Yeah, that wasn’t the older generations. That was just the last couple of generations of wussies.You aren't kidding this is turning college basketball into hot garbage. The generation today totally SUCKS! I miss the older generation where you didn't have a bunch of quitters and everyone gets trophies!
OAD baby. This what OAD gets you.I’m glad that we haven’t had any guys opt out yet (Terrence Clarke conspiracies notwithstanding). I wonder if this is a sign of things to come for the rest of their season as he was unquestionably their most talented player and a likely lottery pick, plus K’s back is due for a flare up any time now.
And it’s only going to get worse. Now that opting out has become a thing, it’s going to happen more and more in the future, virus or not because it’ll be accepted and not looked down on.OAD baby. This what OAD gets you.
Jay Bilas’s white privilege on full display. Or something.Jay Bilas just blistered him on ESPN!
yea just like the rat faced bastard did with Harry Giles . That kid was told he owed it to Coach K and Dook to play on a bad knee !!The media will spin this as something glorious that K did to ensure the health and well being of this young Dukie Superstar.
Do what? Why do we rationalize a guy quitting for these reasons? I mean I can't stand Duke but these kids acting like college basketball is a glorified scrimmage/AAU circuit is ridiculous.
I truly hope these issue wake up college officials to change our game's landscape and work to get to a baseball model to let kids go pro w/o college or if you do come, you have to play for college and enough of this nonsense.
I mean he could've just pretended to have a fake injury and idt anyone would've cared. Kids a locked and loaded top 10 pick. Better than some who may or may not be having a mysterious injury and projected as the mid to late 2nd rd.Do what? Why do we rationalize a guy quitting for these reasons?

Because that’s what good teammates do.I mean I don't really blame him. If you're a lock for 1st rd why play for a team that sucks and risk injury.
Yes, it’s called integrity and loyalty. Unfortunately the world, especially the sports world, is extremely low on both.Because that’s what good teammates do.
RJ Barrett. Another insane talent that coach k was unable to teach team principles to and will be a failure in the nba.
But please, top 5 parents, take that little bit of cash, that temporary house, or that assurance from Nike. You’ll be fine while you’re at Duke. When you leave however, you’re f’d
Jalen Johnson, you’re up.
But Harry Giles owed it to Duke to play on two bad knees in college.
Coach k is a liar and a phony. I can’t believe parents would still send their kids to play there. It’s unbelievvable. Thanks Nike.
Jalen Johnson, good luck. If you don’t perform to expectations, and God forbid have an injury, you’re f’d.
Duke, Risk everything, even if it means your career.
Coach K, a program coach, a coach who’s always been hostile to the OAD’s, lands another last Thursday in the name of Jalen Johnson. We caught up with Jalen Johnson to ask him what sold him on the Satans.
“I loved Duke since I first heard of Corey Maggetti hiding under his bed when he wanted to leave early in fear of telling coach K. I also read Elton Brand’s comments about how leaving early was seen as blasphemous by Duke and coach K. Those are great stories.
Then last year he had the top prospects in the class. All 3. When they almost made a final four I was blown away. Then watching ESPN and Duke sort of blame it on Reddish, that was what I’m looking for. The way they tried to get him to turn down a top 7 pick really sold me, ya know, it just shows in these last 25 years nothing has really changed. It’s a huge plus for OAD’s like me.”
I’m going to say no to the second question. How is it the best decision for him? It makes him a quitter and really fuels questions about his character.I mean he could've just pretended to have a fake injury and idt anyone would've cared. Kids a locked and loaded top 10 pick. Better than some who may or may not be having a mysterious injury and projected as the mid to late 2nd rd.
FWIW I wouldn't care if UK opted out for the rest of the season. Its called cutting your losses Jalen Johnson has weighed his risk reward for playing for duke and I feel he made the correct choice.
Is he quitting on his team? Yes
Is he making the best possible decision for himself? Also Yes.
Both can be true.
True. But superstar NBA players often quit on their teams (James Harden the most recent example), and we're now seeing it in the NFL with Deshaun Watson. Guess what I'm saying is I'm not a fan of quitting, but if these young college guys see these star pro athletes do it, they think they can do it as well.
Whoda thunk it? Bilas defending his daddy.Jay Bilas just blistered him on ESPN!
Damn I missed it!! What'd he say?Jay Bilas just blistered him on ESPN!
