Watching this game makes me feel great about our new AD. Frank Martin is such a bum of a coach - great call to run him off at K State.

Get handed one of the tournament's easiest brackets, has the 1 seed knocked out of the way...and manage to lose to freaking South Carolina. Way to go Duke.

Goodman has an article quoting ACC coaches calling the conference overrated and soft this year. They may have a point

What is it? 8 out of 9 didn't get past the first weekend and the 9th had a very generous whistle to help close out their 2nd game?

Exactly. K also said this was the most physical game Duke had played all year, which may just be coachspeak, but knowing Frank Martin's teams I believe it. This Carolina team plays a good style for the tournament, but I'd still be a little worried

Been trying to keep up the Duke "mass exodus" as everyone is calling it and there may be some interesting news in the morning from what I've read. I'm gonna guess that Grayson is coming back.

Devils Den. Adam said they got somebody interesting news this afternoon and they were going to do their "due diligence" and probably post the update in the morning. A poster responded asking if the news was good or bad and Adam's response was, "Better depending on how you look at it." I'm assuming from that response that it would be Grayson bc he's the only player fans would have mixed feelings about coming back. Anyways, some interesting news should be posted in the morning.

That is interesting thanks for the heads up. I actually have had mixed feelings about him coming back, but now I want him to comeback because everyone hates him and his positives far outweigh his negatives.

I post here when they have the update up. I'll try to keep an update here with everything they have on guys coming and going, but it's looking like as many as 6-8 guys could be leaving from early indications.

Are you on the pay site or the free section? I just go over there and lurk, I don't post. I just hope Bolden stays and maybe Kennard too. I've pretty much conceded that Jeter is transferring out west, Tatum is gone and I'm guessing Giles as well. At least Jackson is confirmed coming back.

I'm on the pay site. They had some really good info there. They had the K taking their gear and barring them from the locker room story two days before anyone else. I'm pretty sure Goodman stole it straight from that site as it was almost verbatim what they had.

Tatum and Giles are 100% gone.
Jackson, Vrank, White, and DeLaurier should all be back.
Grayson is 50/50. Luke is probably a little more than 50/50 towards leaving, but both will probably go to the combine and get feedback.
Jeter is probably transferring to Nevada.
Bolden doesn't like Duke and Duke doesn't really like him so he'll probably declare and get feedback but ultimately end up at Duke for another year.

As for the news tomorrow, I expect it to be about Grayson, Jeter, or Bolden.

KID50 I appreciate the updates. Hopefully something positive will come out tomorrow.

No problem man. I think something will. John, one of the admin like Adam, just posted that it's not set in stone that the top 8 are 100% gone yet.

Say what you want about Roy, and guys sticking around, but the results have been there with these guys staying. Also improved as players as well.

Was lucky enough to catch a preseason practice and have a 15 min conversation with coach Martin the weekend UT played SC in football.

They have a good roster that wasn't playing well the last 3rd of the season. They have figured some things out since then.
