Jesus, could you stop with the old jokes.

Jesus, could you stop with the old jokes.

Early favorite for post of the year right here.

Also, there's some joke in here about letting you all/them Maluach someone Khaman my face if we get him, just can't quite find the phrasing. You get the idea.

 

[torontoduke]

Too cryptic!

That’s Travis-speak for the decision has already been made, and it’s us.

Please lord bring Mitchell back so I can witness the best defensive front court we’ve ever had

 

[Slap the Floor]

I hope we have enough NIL to keep Sean Stewart. Because it doesn't seem possible for him to start if this guy does indeed commit.

 

[dukeboy911]

Would be huge to land this kid

I’m guessing this guy will be very foul-centric. There’s plenty of room for Stewart to backup him and Flagg first off the bench, especially if Ngongba is out due to his surgery recovery and who the hell knows what Reeves’ status will be

 

[Devilsforlife]

I may be off on this, but I kinda don’t think Reeves will ever amount to anything here.

 

[dukeboy911]

^I'd be surprised if he doesn't transfer after this season

 

[Pantone287]

Complete lunatic. He's going to be hilarious.

 

[LastHearth]

Even Lively only averaged 20 min per game as a freshmen, I expect Malauch to get similar minutes with stamina and foul trouble, etc.
So Sean should see decent number of minutes at center even with Malauch.

Complete lunatic. He's going to be hilarious.

I love this kid's demonstrative, insanely confident demeanor. Yeah, he'll probably get T'd up a few times next year, but it will be refreshing to see him, Flagg, and Stewart unleash the junk-yard dog energy we've recently been on the receiving end of back to opponents and the crowd.

I can't wait to see next year's team, loaded with talented lunatics, react with maniacal intensity and fury to a mouthy player on the opposing team, like that Pittsburgh tool.

 

[deepdarkblue]

I wish we could get McCain back to play with Evans. The dynamic of McCain blowing kisses to the crowd while Evans screams his superiority at them would be pure magic.

 

[sivartrenrag]

Complete lunatic. He's going to be hilarious.

Spoiler: verve

 

[physicsfactor]

If only Duke had gotten Harper and Edgecombe, too. Oh well. I guess we’ll settle for this class.

 

[dukeboy911]

This off-season should be one of the more interesting in recent memory.

What happens with our current squad? Re: the backcourt, think you could make a case for each of Roach/Foster/Proctor/McCain either staying or declaring. Does Schutt transfer?

Re: the frontcourt, does Mitchell come back? Does TJ transfer? I'm assuming Reeves is gone now with the addition of Khaman.

What happens with our recruits if we have more guys stay than expected? Seems unlikely that one of Evans/Kon would decommit. Not sure what we're expecting with Ngongba and his rehab. Gotta imagine Darren Harris gets zero playing time next season.

Lotta moving parts, but appears to be a good problem to have with so many talented players projected for next season.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

McCain-Flagg-Evans would be incredible content.

 

[physicsfactor]

1. Roach
2. Proctor
3. McCain
4. Foster
5. Blakes
6. Schutt
7. Filipowski
8. Mitchell
9. Stewart
10. Power
11. Reeves
12. Knueppel
13. Evans
14. Harris
15. Flagg
16. Maluach
17. Ngongba

^All of the players who potentially could return plus the 6 commits.

Obviously, Filipowski is gone. Three more would have to leave. I’ve read many folks believe Roach and McCain are gone as well. Hard to blame McCain if he gets a first round pick assurance, but I would hate to lose Roach. Would be nice to have one of those 5th year badasses for once.

I imagine there will be at least two transfers.
