Since when to basketball upperclassmen live on-campus? It's also sort of strange that the initial source is a Philly writer citing a Duke source. I don't know whether it gives it more or less credence, but it's certainly strange the source (presumably a coach or player) would say that instead of just waiting until he made his decision.
Honestly there was a rumor that he was coming back about a week ago. I thought I saw some discussion about it here. I guess not. Reasonably legitimate I think.
all kinds of stuff floating around. The "insiders" on the duke boards seem to be softening a tiny bit on the "everyone expects him to leave" stance. But its a very minor softening. I still expect him to be gone, especially with his dad's health issues.
Yeah, i'm not sure it makes sense to come back, but I always root for great players to spend more time in the ACC. So here's hoping.

I love the shtick though 
You mean like all the penalties duke avoided with boozer, Duhon, maggette, or lance Thomas?Heh.
I can only imagine how some of you would act if something seriously untoward occurred at Duke that involved its athletics program, one or more deeply flawed investigations was conducted, and then the whole thing was just left to wither on the vine by the NCAA and, of course, Duke. Tobias would be posting 10-15 times a day about it, calling for a special commission, federal indictments, the involvement of the World Court, etc. - - and he's an FFA UNC fan who's actually smart and well-reasoned. Meanwhile, for good measure, I'd be horrified and embarrassed, and seriously reconsidering my love for the Blue Devils. Different strokes, I guess.
Um, well, you see... Look, squirrel!You mean like all the penalties duke avoided with boozer, Duhon, maggette, or lance Thomas?Heh.

So clearly, now that Johnson's data shows UNC had illiterate players who should have been ineligible the work was no longer "appropriate and necessary" You just can't make this stuff up!!!
Yeah, Myron Piggie - - the one thing Duke has ever done during K's tenure that was the slightest bit wrong. Doesn't really compare, does it? Boozer? Duhon? Oof, if it wasn't the Voice of Duke-Hating JacketFan speaking I would never guess. And I'm not sure how Lance Thomas having a dispute with a jewelry store (since resolved) has anything to do with the Duke athletics program. But keep flailing.You mean like all the penalties duke avoided with boozer, Duhon, maggette, or lance Thomas?Heh.

I assure you I would not. Others might, but not me. I've posted plenty of times about not caring about this BS regardless of the program. The only time I mention any of the ridiculous Duke "scandals" is when some Duke fan is being obnoxious. I couldn't care less about any of it. I understand some people want to emphasis the "college" part of college basketball but I think it's a joke and have for years. Like you said, different strokes.Heh.

After some thought, you're right. Sorry to tar you. It would be some other UNC fans and, of course, Georgia Tech Guy.I assure you I would not. Others might, but not me.

For me, I believe you can find some sort of cheating at every program in the NCAA. Some just do a better job of covering it up than others. Or sometimes the rules the schools violate is stupid. Like Pryor and those other tOSU guys who got in trouble for selling THEIR stuff. Who gives a crap. The NCAA is a joke and I hope they come crumbling down soon.I assure you I would not.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting. The only big knock on Graham during his junior year was his height - he was only 5'9", so App State was the best offer he got. Well, he's 6'1" now, which literally elevated him to high-major talent.KU has a chummy relationship with the Brewster Academy coach, but if they sign Myles Turner they will have to "encourage" a bench wing to transfer to make room for Graham.
Immediate playing time will be limited at State. Cat Barber should play 25+ mpg next season, as Lacey should at SG and Turner at SF. Des Lee is a senior guard already coming off the bench, and the incoming Martin twins are wing players.Bruce Dickinson said:
Now its looking like later in the week (per several guys on the duke boards)
The banquet being on Wednesday was about the only thing that lead me to believe he might stay. Even ignoring the seniors, it'd be pretty awkward to announcer your leaving at that. Pushing it back might not necessarily indicate anything but it not being on the banquet night should be telling.
Odd choice...I think I would've selected Thornton. I have no data...just watching the game.perfect capstone to the Duke season: Rodney Hood won the "Best Defense" award last night at the Duke Basketball Banquet.
Good for him. Great individual year. I'd agree that sadly the college game doesn't really give him much to grow. He could stay, play on the favorite team, and probably dominate down low again, but the kid has enough to work on where playing to his strengths for another year wouldn't be helpful.
Colorful version
You can take College Park out of the ACC, but you can't ...
Who sets the matchups, though? Is it ESPN, or is it the conferences themselves? I can definitely see ESPN favoring a "grudge match" of Maryland versus traditional ACC school.
I didn't even reply to him. I'm getting more tolerant or maybe less of an old cranky *******. He can change usernames 100 times and can't help himself.
It's just pathetic that someone is banned that much from a message board. Not surprising in the least that he was banned yet again.
Pretty much....they shouldn't have changed the rule, they should have given another foul and made it 6 to foul out.
