Both Singler and Dawkins committed MONTHS before it was announced to the public. Why do you care or debate this, just curious.When did singler privately commit?Hey, Irving said something that I don't recall. But can you find me similar quotes from Dawkins or Singler? Go look, spend hours trying to find a way to debate with me.
Interesting you made these comments since GDOGG was just asking you the same type of questions you're asking him. If you could be objective and see how he answers questions and how you respond I think you would develop a better understanding. Good luck...Both Singler and Dawkins committed MONTHS before it was announced to the public.

Not quite as effective as the money given to Favors, but effective none the less
You are the worst person alive.
He's still bitter because he was spewing on here how Favors was a lock to Duke similar to the Harrison Barnes to Duke crap.
So Singler and Dawkins both committed before it was announced publicly, but Duke commits (except for Irving) don't ever say they're undecided when they actually are decided.Therefore, I think that means that one of the two above statements isn't true, or Singler and Dawkins were never asked by anyone about their status during the months between their private commitment and their public commitment. Do I have that right?Both Singler and Dawkins committed MONTHS before it was announced to the public.

Seems pretty likely nobody asked Singler or Dawkins about where they were going. I don't know why you're questioning this.So Singler and Dawkins both committed before it was announced publicly, but Duke commits (except for Irving) don't ever say they're undecided when they actually are decided.Therefore, I think that means that one of the two above statements isn't true, or Singler and Dawkins were never asked by anyone about their status during the months between their private commitment and their public commitment.

oh, ok.Let me get this straight, your avatar is a freaking nerd cartoon based on a game for nerds, and you want to talk crap to me?
What exactly does your comment have to do what he's posted?Let me get this straight, your avatar is a freaking nerd cartoon based on a game for nerds, and you want to talk crap to me?
"When I said that Duke basketball players don't ever do this thing, what I meant was that two Duke players in the last thirty years didn't do it."Priceless. And posted in a thread specifically created to keep the poster out- gives me a chuckle every time I see him posting in it. You can't make this stuff up.I've had a complete 180 on Ripleys since those early days. He's hilarious, and as a UNC fan he can't post enough of his nonsense as far as I'm concerned. He's like a parody of all of the worst habits of fandom combined and spouted in the name of Duke basketball. I don't know why the other Duke fans don't beg him to go away.Hey, Irving said something that I don't recall. But can you find me similar quotes from Dawkins or Singler?

I don't keep up with alias ... any chance that whoever organized this thing might want to do it again? I enjoyed the league.
Because you said Duke silent commits "NEVER" make comments that they are still open.Both Singler and Dawkins committed MONTHS before it was announced to the public.

USports doesn't offer CBB anymore. Unless someone can find another site, or tabulate by hand, I don't think it's going to happen.
Singler announced for Duke on October 26, 2011.This is from an interview with Singler on October 11, 2006, prior to him taking an official visit to Kansas:Both Singler and Dawkins committed MONTHS before it was announced to the public.

Interesting. This is obviously a media guy taking quotes out of context. There is no way a recruit silently committed to Duke would proclaim that he hadn't decided yet.
Dawkins committed to Duke on June 26, 2008.This is from an interview with him on June 9, 2008:Both Singler and Dawkins committed MONTHS before it was announced to the public. Why do you care or debate this, just curious.When did singler privately commit?Hey, Irving said something that I don't recall. But can you find me similar quotes from Dawkins or Singler?

I'm sure all of that was out of context, though. There are quotes from him that were posted in an article dated June 26, 2008, that says he'll make a decision when he's ready, too. Of course, that same day, it was announced that he had committed to Duke.So, either Dawkins is horribly misquoted, his quotes are taken out of context, he wasn't silently committed to Duke or he did, in fact, proclaim he was still open despite being committed to Duke. Which one is it?
Exactly. That's why he doesn't bother me. HIs posts are so comical because you never know what he's going to spout off next. He might stay away a while since GDOGG and you have been giving him the jab...jab...uppercut, so he might be down for the count. I'll give him a standing 8 and see if he comes back."When I said that Duke basketball players don't ever do this thing, what I meant was that two Duke players in the last thirty years didn't do it."Priceless.

Fantrax does CFB, maybe they do hoops also???
Honestly, nobody cares if Irving or Singler made their decision months before they've publicly announced it. Everyone does it. But you do look more than a bit silly claiming that Duke recruits don't do what recruits to all other schools do.Better luck next time?
I'm in if somebody else can run it. I have my own fantasy hoop league to run.
Oh bull####.
Proof sent, ####-o
Ohhhh the irony is just too much....
Take this with a grain of salt because, as far as I know, he's not exactly dialed in and he's been wrong on many things with UCLA before (had incoming frosh Norman Powell transferring prior to school starting this year).
Yup on both. Like I said, just passing along some "insider's" info.

Serious question...are you still confident about Bazz coming to UCLA? He seems very interested in both Kansas and Kentucky.How are you feeling about Duke's chances with Tony Parker and Shabazz Muhammad?Extremely weak sauce from you, as usual.Nailed another oneGotta say I'll be cheering for Mitch at Michigan.

As of right now, yes. I'm now confident about Tony Parker, as well.However, with the train wreck of a season this has been, who knows if they don't change their minds. On the other hand, UCLA can't look any worse on the court than it already has, so I'm not sure their opinion of UCLA is tied to what they see this season.Serious question...are you still confident about Bazz coming to UCLA?

With high school kids, I personally don't think it's ever over until they sign the NLI (which I don't think they should sign in the first place, but that's another issue). And, even then, it's probably not over until they show up on campus.That being said, all indications from the UCLA side are that Muhammad and Parker are going to UCLA and there are some whispers that they've already told UCLA this. We'll see, though. It won't be over for another month and a half.
I'm not sure what you're saying here.So, you shouldn't do your due diligence and completely check out all of your options if you're strongly leaning (or, even pretty much decided) somewhere? I assure you Duke probably doesn't feel that way because there's always a chance.In 1992, UNLV had Ed O'Bannon (the nation's #1 recruit) and Shon Tarver verbally committed. They had decided on UNLV, but had also taken trips to other schools, including UCLA. They refused to sign NLIs to protect themselves. UNLV was hit with NCAA violations. Because they hadn't signed NLIs, they went with their second choice, UCLA (where Ed went on to win a national title in 1995).I'm not saying UCLA is in danger of being hit by NCAA violations, but stuff happens all the time. Coaches get fired or leave for other jobs. Assistants that players forge bonds with take off for other programs (ask Cal football fans what can happen to their committed recruits when an assistant coach leaves for a rival three weeks before signing day). As much as fans and alums think players are choosing their school because of their love for the school, many of them are choosing coaches. I don't think it speaks to a recruit's class or ethics at all if they check out all their options and listen to the recruiting pitch from any schools they have interest in. Plus, a high school kid could always change his mind or become unsure. What is he to do if he suddenly gets cold feet, but hasn't kept in contact with other coaches or visited other schools?
