Yeah the rest of the ACC is playing for 2nd place... Safest bet in NCAA would be penciling Duke in the final 4 I'd say if not the whole thingExcuse me. Did you mention Duke, Northside.....?
Well, Duke has 2 incoming freshmen who might make the All American team. One of them, R J Barrett is projected as the first pick in next Summer's NBA Draft.....
Zion Williamson is the other one who looks like a top five, first round pick in next Summer's NBA Draft. He reminds me of Miles Bridges and seems to be better before playing an official college basketball game. He is a Savage Beast.....
They also have incoming freshman Cameron Reddish who normally would be the top freshman in the country and is projected to be a top-five NBA Draft Pick next Summer.....
Might have to put a few dollars on Duke to win it all next March.....

Damn
F...
There go our aspirations for a National Championship this season
As long as they play basketball and don't read their press clippings. Kentucky had a similiar team in 2015 and Wisconsin shot them down in the National Semis! It can happen.Yeah the rest of the ACC is playing for 2nd place... Safest bet in NCAA would be penciling Duke in the final 4 I'd say if not the whole thing
True. Biggest difference is this is coach K not Calipari... When coach K has a stacked team he usually takes care of business.As long as they play basketball and don't read their press clippings. Kentucky had a similiar team in 2015 and Wisconsin shot them down in the National Semis! It can happen.

By which time he'll be long gone retired or dead... But yeah how they aren't investigating Duke for raking in him and that class is beyond me. It was just aired in open court what all Zion was asking for from schools that didn't get him. Only makes you wonder what he ended up getting from the school that won the bidding. Can any reporters go see what car he's taking to and from practice? See what home his folks are living in and if they've recently upgraded... It's so dumb how it takes years and years to look for what can be seen in the moment if you'd just lookAnd then 5 years from now we're going to find out coach K paid Zion $250,000 to play at Duke. Coach K will deny any knowledge and the NCAA will spend 27 years investigating before dropping the case.

Yup his folks had themselves a nice place. I may be wrong about this but I thought Lebron when he was in HS was seen driving around in new Hummers and whatnot. I don't know if that shoulda affected his eligibility his senior year or whatever. But I don't remember it ever being looked into what all he may have been getting while he was still in HS. If it was shoe companies colleges or whatever. It seemed to be such a forgone thing he was going strait to the pros that I can't believe colleges may have been throwing $ at him but who knows.See Bush, Reggie.
That skill set for a guy that long is just stupid. Wasn't he from the KC/Emporia Kansas ball park? I was kinda surprised when Kansas didn't get him. Kid is a freak. I have a feeling his recruitment wasn't all exactly done above board.... Based on nothing just a hunchHere's a guy who Garza may be guarding against Oregon ...

Agreed, that kind of skill set for a 7'2" player is crazy stupid. Defending him down low is going to be hard enough for pretty much all teams at the college level, yet alone trying to defend the 3. Just dumb. 1 and done needs to go away completely.
The question is can he play defense. Garza, Cook, and a couple of other hawkeyes should be able to put him in foul trouble if the coaching staff has a game plan for it. I can see Garza getting him into foul trouble.only 1 way to guard a guy like that- try to deny him the ball as much as possible!
That's probably our best hope. Get two quick ones on him and he can't do much damage from the bench... If he's as good as his old man was at blocking shots though.....The question is can he play defense.

Yeah, pretending Duke didn't pay him is like me saying I have an offer for my car from a buyer willing to pay $20,000 but I decided to give it to another buyer for free.By which time he'll be long gone retired or dead...

Exactly... Yet is anyone even hinting at the NCAA investigating Duke and coach K?.... Nope crickets on that and I suspect their won't be.Yeah, pretending Duke didn't pay him is like me saying I have an offer for my car from a buyer willing to pay $20,000 but I decided to give it to another buyer for free.

It wouldn't have to necessarily be Garza that draws the fouls. Be it someone else penetrating and Bol helping too kinda thing. I dunno it'll be interesting to watch either waynot sure if Garza is in good enough physical shape to do that. I would guess he'd b in worse shape than Bol.
