'21 WA PF Paolo Banchero (Duke Commit)

[cardvolfan]

What @JelloPuddinPup said right above you is what I would guess. And it’s not like I’m meaning to doubt Barnes’s integrity, Id say there’s at least some sort of minor cheating going on at most decently sized college BB programs

Could be, and is, at least in Level III violations.

Ford released more documents and information that she says will prove her allegations against Zion and Duke basketball are fact. Among the accusations levied at Zion and his family are his stepfather had three luxury vehicles and the family moved from a modest rental home in South Carolina where rent was $895 per month to a full-on mansion with a monthly rent of $4,995 and is valued at $950,000.

Did Barnes win a lot of recruiting battles against Coach K when he coached at Clemson?

There a good reason you don’t see us often recruiting the same players as LSU/Auburn/Memphis etc.

Beat me too it....This post is simple but it contains everything you need to know about Rick and his recruiting....

I personally think that Rick is squeaky clean when it comes to recruiting. They dont call him deacon Barnes for no reason.

 

[tennrich1]

I doubt this is the case. If it happens or has happened, I would seriously doubt Barnes is/was aware.

I agree and I know how important integrity actually is to Rick. He doesn't just talk about integrity he actually practices it. There's zero doubt about that. Naivety is not something I'm usually infected with but if I found out Rick was actively "cheating" then I would have drank a full glass of orange flavored naivety somewheres without knowing it.

This would be a massive Boom if Barnes were able to pull this off.

Edit: that’s a lot of dirty schools to go up against though.

Sure is. Depends on if these schools are over or under their salary cap.

They could be like Bama in football and set their own salary cap with the help of the SEC office.

Watching him and Jabari Smith become stars in the League is going to hurt. I truly believe we were close to having one or both of them to go along with Chandler. They would have cut down the nets for sure.

Chandler, Vescovi, JJJ, Banchero and Jabari...
That some UNLV type right there!

Why.... Why did you have to do this to me.

 

[JRVOL11]

will never forget when he committed to duke out of nowhere. still the most painful recruitment til this day by far lol. would’ve won it last year no doubt

 

[VolArmy74]

He unfortunately wasn't a Vol, but I picked him in the 10th round in my fantasy NBA draft. So that looks like it's gonna be a win.

The league is in very good hands.

I watched Smith on tv the other night against my Hawks and he had a few good moments but John Collins schooled him a few times and I expect more of the same when Banchero and Orlando visit Atlanta tonight.

Man, I love Dejointe Murray and he has made me a kinda Hawks fan, this year. They could win the East, I doubt it, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if they did

Murray definitely pairs up well with Young and he is an excellent defender.

The Holliday brothers were also solid pickups and the Hawks will definitely be in contention for a playoff spot this season.

Easily, top 4 team in the East, imo
