Duke players...

[volfanbill]

I don't know about his ACT/SAT score, but Shelden Williams graduated with like a 3.7 GPA. from high school

 

[volfanbill]

Then how did Sheldon Williams get into Duke? You cant tell me he is of upper intelligence..

If top players want to come to Duke, K finds a way. Plain and simple.

The offense they run handcuffs them.

Be enlightened... It took me awhile to find this, but this is a great read:

It handcuffs them into winning championships about once or twice a decade. What a horrible and inflexible offense... Poor Duke. That Krazy Zewski guy has no idea how to coach.

No. You are insane if you believe coach k would have been able to get players like Bledsoe and Rose in. He doesn't even bother with those type of guys because admissions would just laugh at him.

Do you know what sheldon Williams gpa or test scores were coming out of high school?

Coach k still targets black elite players who are good academically, see Elliott Williams.

If the top 5 players wanted to commit to Duke, Coach would find a way. You dont just turn away elite players.
The offense plays a larger role in kids saying no.

Live by the 3 you die by the 3. Its a horrible offense.

He would not be able to get Rose or Bledsoe into Duke.

Your UNC avatar may be the 'tell' here but if you lived in the Triangle, you would know UNC and Duke only recruit top flight kids who can make it academically. Now, as for NC State....If you make up your own reality, it is not hard to believe. The truth is Duke does only recruit kids w/ academic ability. A simple fact.

No sour grapes there or anything...he was barely smart enough to get into Michigan, he got his ass whupped by the white boys and Uncle Toms in the 1992 national title game.
