I just want consistency. Freshman have their highs & lows.
Dioubate 2 yrs in the SEC, brings toughness that this team may need
Donât think he would leave Alabama especially with Nelson and omoruyi graduating

@Emed0678 youâre right. Looks like he likes Alabamas up tempo style.
Shooting some 3pts this season. He probably doesnât leave
also a question for you⊠duke had a ton of freshmen committed last year before the season ended⊠they had 4top 40 recruits at the end of the season last year⊠should they have not pushed for their april commit Khaman Maluach? (they already had a 5star center commited Patrick Ngongba) in fear of being too young?
and then after Khaman Maluach, they picked up an even later pickup in Isaiah Evans⊠in fear of being really young, they should have not recruited him
(92 follows ball so i know he knows who those 2 are, but for the causals, thats duke star center and 6th man)

Khaman Maluach was an elite rim protector that Duke needed. So of course you take him
If you look at this yrs roster, youâre losing a couple things:
*Paint points - Jwan
*3pt shooting - LJ
*Rebounding & Rim Protection- Jwan & Francis
As we saw with Jarace, paint points werenât his go to. He wanted to showcase his perimeter game. So he would do pick & pop with Shead.
That would be my concern with Peat. Jwans floater from the foul line. Wasnât always pretty, but it got us easy paint pts, when jump shots werenât falling
Who gets us easy paint points next season? Jojo?
Just my thoughtsâŠcoach does a great job of making pieces fit. But definitely a unique team, if youâre bringing in 4 uber talented freshman
Not worried at all. Who knows what the roster will be in June but I am looking forward to seeing it. If Peat signs I know Sampson has a successful plan in mind.
As for previous comments, Jarace wasnât showcasing anything, he was being put in position to be successful and help the team the best he could.
I mean peat plays physical
that why i want peatâŠhe is known for being a post bully⊠we have no paint points
jarace had a bullys body but was never a bullyâŠ
peat will shoot (which i love), but he mostly works in the post
his game isnt âshake and backâ but âim stronger than youâ⊠your reason for not wanting peat is why i want peat
and in constrast Dioubate isnt a back to the basket player⊠so im confused lol
"Khaman Maluach was an elite rim protector that Duke needed. " the other 5 star center they got was also an elite shot blocker

Yeah, being a freshman doesnât equate to being Jarace. Thatâs really a weird take, honestly.

watch some single game highlights⊠when folks make highlights they focus on the perimeter skills , because its flashier⊠but look at the game highlights where there is less to take out
here are 2 game highlights of his from aau⊠both clips start with a 3, but notice where the majority of the points are coming from

Wouldnât shocked me if he ends up in the state of Texas. @Coog1992 trilly donovan prediction ?
@MRCoog trilly who? Im not familiar with that name
I dont want to get my hopes up for peat ⊠cuase i dont think weâll land him
but just looking at his final 5
we can rule out texas - fired coach
of the 4
baylor - was always seen as the long shot- every roation player but robert wright is gone, already have 1 big transfer commit⊠i see them as the least likely but i wouldnt be shocked if they offered a crazy bag and to center the team around himâŠit possible but i dont see it
arizona st⊠previously seen as the favorite⊠but asu only had 2 notable pieces returning⊠one of them just went portaling just this week⊠asu is going to be horrible next yearâŠbut desperation could a factor and a insane bag has been offered to try as a miracle heave for hurleys jobâŠpossible
arizona- him committing during the tourney i felt was a negative for us, but arizona is also in the tourney, so if it hurts us it hurts them too⊠they already know their starting 4 and 5 for next year (unless there is a surpise)⊠tey are recruiting him as a wingâŠrumors are they are more focusing on Brayden Burries since he is more a natural guard⊠coming off the bench is a real possibility hereâŠ
my guess: he picks arizona state⊠a super NIL deal, being close to home trumps his desire to win⊠hurley keeping his job makes no sense as another reason besides this
2nd guess: UH⊠his desire to win take over, and a player has privately made a decision to go pro ⊠wants to make his own version of Duke but here next year
