Bob Ryan gave Duke and Coach K a pretty good ripping. Saying they no longer have the moral high ground. From at one time not hanging a banner because a player hadn't graduated to Corey Magette and now Bagley. Bravo Mr Ryan.

Has Bagley had academic issues?

lmaoAlso Bob Ryan was later jumped in the ESPN parking lot by a stocky black male with a limp and a poor fashion sense (who DIDNT leave the scene on a motorcycle) along with a tall, apologetic, balding white male who repeated obscure rap lyrics while wearing Nike shoes with his suit. According to ESPN security there is not security footage or possibility of identifying the two unknown assailants.
There are NCAA D1 rules for most schools. - dUKe is excluded from all rules. GO CATS!!
That's exactly how their fans act and think. Nauseating.Now you know that never happened.
Finally. It's what most of us were saying on here. The facade is crumbling. This kid changed school's 3 times and decides to reclassify this late. It's a scam. He knew if he picked duke the NCAA will let him play. Anywhere else, he's out of luck.Bob Ryan gave Duke and Coach K a pretty good ripping. Saying they no longer have the moral high ground.

Hmmmmm, odd question coming from you... NOT.Has Bagley had academic issues?

Which is why Bagley is going to Duke. He couldn't get eligible at any other school.
Pretty sure we wouldn't be talking about any potential academic issues surrounding Bagley had he pulled out Derek Willis' former jersey on Sportscenter the other night. I think the only questions surrounding his academics are based around the amount of relocating he and his family did while he was in high school. He actually sounds like a pretty intelligent kid, he and his father are just looking for the fastest way to get to the NBA and get that first paycheck. Bagley is one of the few guys we've seen who probably could have made the transition from high school to the league without much difficulty.
That's crazy. We would absolutely be concerned about eligibility if Bagley had come here. The fact that Duke fans seem unconcerned is telling.

If he's SO good, why does it matter where he goes. Fastest way with the highest paycheck is probably Kentucky, and admittedly, Duke is a close second. But you can;t argue with what Kentucky has done from guys like KAT down to Willis. After this, why not stay at the schools close to home?
The only way Duke beats out Kentucky or familiar/close schools like USC/UCLA is if he and his crowd knew he wouldn't be eligible unless he went to Duke.
That's the only way Duke is the top choice.

No problem picking Duke over UK. But when there's eligibility questions, and Duke has yet to have any issue or fault with the NCAA, to us it says "Well, I have no option OTHER than Duke".. That's the problem. We've lost recruits to Duke before. No real need to question those.. Going to Duke is a great opportunity as much as it kills me to say it.
But this? This to me is sketch. And it is for the rest of BBN when you look at it. Not sure he picks Duke if he doesn't have eligibility issues.
And now he recruits a player to play this year that academically there is no way that he (Marvin Bagley) should be eligible. But K who plays by a different set of rules will get him eligible.
That's crazy. We would absolutely be concerned about eligibility if Bagley had come here. The fact that Duke fans seem unconcerned is telling.
