Just happy to see Grayson Allen's punk a** not playing in the tournament anymore. 

Look, I don't care what team you root for, I don't understand how anyone can root for that particular individual. There's always players that you're gonna love them if they play for your team and hate them if they play for other teams due to a variety of reasons, but when a guy is just blatantly dirty like Allen, I don't know how you root for the guy.

[WOW!!]

Same way we rooted for Steve Smith..

Or Decon fans rooted for Chris Paul..

Or Tarholes rooting for Makhtar N'Diaye..

You'll never hear me defend N'Diaye. One of the few real mistakes DES ever made.

What about Rasheed??

 

[LinvilleGorge]

Rasheed is one of those guys I was referring to earlier. You love him if he's yours, you hate him if he's theirs. He was brash and cocky and ran his mouth, but he played clean basketball.

Jay Williams was one of those guys for duke while he was there. Hated the guys guts while he was there, but zero ill will toward him in hindsight. It'll probably be the same way for Kennard.

Rasheed threw elbows like Karl Malone and cussed out everybody ref, coaches, teammates, oppnents..

Even he admitted that's how he played..

He definitely became a different guy in the NBA. Well, not so much different, just that his already big personality shone even brighter. DES kept him relatively reeled in at Carolina. K only takes action once the outcry from the media reaches a national level and it becomes a lead story on ESPN.

Like Sulamon.. right?? 

K does the same thing Dean did.. Take it on a case by case situation.. 

He may not have jumped on Allen as fast as ppl wanted but he did for Sulamon, Winslow and Cherokee Parks when they were getting out of hand..

I'm hoping that with the recent success UNC has had that will end the recruiting troubles. 

Next year regardless of we land Knox or not is gonna depend on if Bradley stays. 

This is just my opinion but I think a lot of these elite can't miss NBA prospects when it comes down to it don't care about winning in college. I'm obviously talking about cream of the crop guys. It's just how the culture is now. The #1 overall pick last year and the prob #1 overall this year (Fultz) will have a combined zero NCAA tourney wins. 

These blue chippers want to get to NBA asap and UK and Duke currently offer express lane. I'm sure these kids are going to class during the spring semester in Durham.

And at that point he holds said player out until the first conference loss. That was embarrasing , Allen shoulda been suspended for the year

That's reality.. Based on a one being a public school with lower educational  standards while the other is a private school with higher standards..

But also in reality one has a bigger bandwagon fan base who just like the colors.. If i was you i wouldn't make that guarantee..

I put up with your ranting and generally dickery for a while because you are like so many dook fans - love the basketball team but know absolutely nothing about the university itself. Most dook fans I meet pull for dook in basketball, the Yankees in baseball, and whatever team Lebron is currently playing for in the NBA. But when you started arguing educational standards, I had to respond.  A long time ago, dook held themselves up as a school of higher learning and their basketball team consisted of student athletes.  I hated the dook basketball team because of their incessant whining and flopping, but I respected dook's stature as a leading educator. But that characterization has lost credibility because the basketball coach has made a mockery of higher education.  He shows no interest in recruiting student-athletes for the basketball team, instead grabbing the highest rated prospects regardless of educational qualification in order to win-at-all-costs and to pad his ego and resume. It truly diminishes the prestige of the dook degree when you stand it next to 18-year old kids going to 3-4 classes for 1 semester then leaving.  You simply can't argue "higher educational standards" between dook and unc when one of its students deemed 'smart enough to get in' does not know the earth is in fact spherical.

Coming from a fan base who for decades had a fake department of studies.. Which many atheltic and just regular students benefited from.. 

So don't blame me for not giving a fug what you think on this topic..

 

And what makes it funnier is Roy went after some of the same players you fuging hypocrite..

And for future reference 

Panthers

Hornets

Brave's

Hurricanes

Dale Jr.

DUKE BB

Michigan FB

Fan...
