THE OFFICIAL DUKE/UNC B-BALL THREAD 2020/21 (WORSE, SLOWER, MORE MASKS, LESS FANS, LESS W’s)

[RDU VOL#14]

I moved to the Durham area at the same time you did and we are the same age. And you are right when I think back. Duke was actually looked at as an underdog or an up and comer. Winning it all back to back changed that instantly. I thought Bobby Hurley was the man.

Bobby Hurley is one of my all time favorites .

 

[VolInNW]

That seems presumptuous. They've swung and missed before (Matt Doherty) but got on track afterwards.

Maybe. But this feels different. No HC experience, and suddenly you're running a Blue Blood. Really? I know Davis is UNC to the core, and knows the program, but sitting in the big chair is a LOT different. Better if you cut your teeth HC at a lower tier school, make your mistakes, then come to the big boy table older and wiser. See Jeremy Pruitt.

my all-time favorite. And it isn't even close.

I was a kid but it looked to me like he was literally just playing harder than everyone else.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

If what I’m hearing is true about Kessler ... damn that’s cold.

 

[volfanbill]

Well now I’m curious

Agreed

Heard he committed to Hubert late Sunday night after a long phone call, woke up the next day and announced he was going to play for Auburn. You don’t leave UNC basketball for Auburn basketball. You leave UNC football for Auburn football.

That’s weird

No wonder Roy has had enough . I think this kid sent him over the edge. 50% kidding .

Bruce upgraded to a better bagman in Opelika.

Matthew Hurt=Gone. Maybe a first round pick. Probably not.

I’m with Huckleberry. I’m out. College basketball sucks.

You didn’t expect that one?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I did . That’s the sad part. He’s not even a first round guy. I understand leaving for a lottery pick or a decent first round placement , but I do not understand leaving a big time school to play for the Sioux Falls Slapdicks at 2 pm on a Tuesday .

 

[volfanbill]

Maybe K doesn’t actually have bag men like every hater accuses him of

Same with Sharpe. Most predictions have him as a second rounder. Why go?

You’ve done it now....Might as well send out a bat signal for every Duke hater on this board.

That was the goal

Yea, and Saban is a saint.

Every college cheats it’s just the matter of if they get sloppy or not. It’s to hard to maintain success at a high level clean.

 

[Dudleys87]

And I’ll be the first one to say without question Carolina does.

And it’s more than fake classes.

 

[Dudleys87]

Long time assistant Steve Robinson will not return to Carolina nor will DOR Kendal Marshall.

Enter: Sean May, Brad Frederick, and Jeff Lebo.

An interesting move for a first time coach, IMO.
