Future recruits won’t take notice. Duke has dominated recruiting since 2015 and the train isn’t stopping. They have had countless guys not pan out during that time, didn’t matter.
Remember when “once K leaves Duke won’t get the top guys.” I remember.
All blue bloods will retain great players, but Duke will not be what they were under K going forward. Scheyer is just now getting to the point where he’s actually the head coach at Duke. Coach K has been running the show behind the scenes the last few years. It’s all been a front when it comes to Scheyer everyone knows that.
Scheyer will begin to, after this season, be the show. Recruits will no longer connect coach K to
Duke as seniors in high school were in middle school when he was there. It becomes distant history and that’s when we’ll see what kind of recruiting power Scheyer has. He hasn’t looked all that impressive as a floor coach at all, and I think this last top class group will be it. They’re going to start spacing out. Who wants rhe OAD stuff anymore anyway? Not UK. And if the OAD is what Duke wants good luck now that you’ve smashed a kids draft stock lol.
Good luck you’re going to need it. Also consider UNC IS going to the SEC eventually and UK / UNC becomes the premier rival. The SEC will not take Duke and UNC isn’t going to want it anyway. Duke will be left out of the conference shifts and be placed, probably, in the Big East. Their dominance will definitely take a hit as the BIG2 (SEC BIG10) take the majority as time moves on.
Enjoy what you can lol.
