I'm sure he will have eligibilty concerns now, and I guess we now know why the Dominican trip was cancelled.

 

[BlueGrad07]

No surprise. Gonna love hating him and all the other hypocritical dookies this year.

Go Cats.

 

[jwhite123]

Well they're definitely the favorites barring him being eligible. They were the best team of all time going into last season and we all saw how that went.

 

[shaolin style]

I would now hope that he never becomes eligible, but we all know the NCAA won't let that happen. I'm still salty about Kanter.

 

[Big Cat fan]

That is 6 titles in under 30 years for Duke.

The new kings of college basketball.

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

Pretty soon there will be articles saying that this Duke team is better than the 2015 UK team.

Get lost with that trash.

You forgot the 2017 title.

 

[track42]

Well this is as bad as it gets.

I knew Zay would come out of hibernation to like this post.

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

I heard he has web toes anyways.

 

[Nix112]

Only takes 1 game in the tournament to go sideways. We saw it in 2015 and Duke saw it last year with teams that were supposed to run over top of everyone.

Don't give them the banner in August.

You just gave Duke the title? Turn in your UK gear as you leave. I for one want to see K handle the huge egos that will be on this team. He hasn't managed so far.

 

[Col. Angus]

what a crock of shit. How did Duke get him to reclassify and pick them? I'll be so glad when Coach K retires, steps down, dies, whatever. I miss Cal having no competition whatsoever in recruiting. From 2009-2014 he was hand picking his classes with minimal to no push back from ANY school.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

What a damn lifeline they just got.

Kid can't stay in the same highschool and somehow he's Duke worthy? I'd love to hear Coach K and the media spin this. Duke can no longer be considered morally better than ANY other basketball program, when they take already suspect kids out of HS early.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

Never saw this coming until a few weeks ago. Good job by coach K pulling this off. This may be his last shot at a title so he orchestrated this move.

They literally carried him through the entire reclassifying process. It's been Duke for a while

 

[Wall2Boogie]

And once again they shit all over bolden

 

[Col. Angus]

And once again they shit all over bolden

should've went ahead and transferred somewhere like Texas A&M or TCU.

Let them have him. It sounds like he has some issues. Watching them implode again will be all the sweeter.

 

[track42]

Bilas and Vitale having orgasms at the moment.

 

[Mr_GG]

I still believe Duke isn't just going to waltz through next season. All I can say is though, thank goodness we got Kevin Knox.

C. Bagley
PF. Carter
SF. Knox
SG. Allen
PG. Duval

That lineup really would scare me.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

Bolden deserves it lol. Momma aint gonna be happy

 

[LineSkiCat14]

And once again they shit all over bolden

Can't think of a better player to have that happen to. Outside of Allen, he might be my 2nd least likable player in college ball next year (or last). Hope he gets buried on the bench forever.

Gary Trent is a better shooter and just as good an all around scorer as Knox. He's just 3 inches shorter.

 

[crittel56]

Only Duke could have two players in the same class that went to a total of eight high schools, and they somehow are eligible.

It's scary and funny. Freshman, Freshman, Freshman, whacko, Freshman.

 

[J. Shellacque]

So Duke fills the point guard hole with a big time academic question mark player that most teams avoided because of the fact he probably wouldn't be eligible. Then fills the hole in the middle with a guy re-classifying. Could this happen anywhere else?

I always forget the transition in college is so difficult, so don't put much stake into this.. but that team is real talented. And many say, "well, they were taltned last year, too".. but I still believe the only reason Duke didn't walk to another title last year was just a slew of unfortunate events all year long.

They won't be this unfortunate again..They aren't going to lose two players to large-scale injury.

 

[Born and raised Big Blue]

I feel like Duval, Allen, bagely are all pretty selfish players. We will see if they blend. Tatum and Allen didn't play good together last year. So let's see how they do this year.

 

[jwhite123]

I'll give the Duke roster credit where it's due but Trent isn't just as good an all around scorer as Knox.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

I wonder how Mama Bolden is feeling now?

 

[Mr_GG]

Trent is garbage imo...at least compared to his ranking.

This isn't AAU, they have to blend as a team and learn to play good defense. If they don't, they won't win a title.

They had plenty enough talent playing by tourney time. They were a mess all year, and it wasn't just because of injuries.

 

[Born and raised Big Blue]

I don't think Trent or carter are great players. I personally don't see duval as better as green or alexander. Media hypes Duke every year.

 

[Col. Angus]

he's one of the best overalls scorers in the class. Does it from all 3 levels efficiently. Knox is taller and rangier.

Not near as athletic
