they got Giles and Tatum too, how the fukk are they ranked 2nd recruiting class? who the fukks 1st?
Dukes gonna sleep walk till the Final 4
nope...
we had jon and nolan, both classic combo guards. then Mike talked andre into coming early so we had more than 2 guards on the roster.
jon played his ass off and is one of my fav. duke players ever. he did his thing at PG and was great but he was never a true PG...ask him and he'll tell you the same thing. but fukk it, i'm not trying to argue with fellow duke fans, just stating facts.
next year, UNC and every other team that has to play us is gonna be hurting...
scheyer took over point guard duties toward the end of 2008/2009 season, which helped us reach the sweet 16 that year. Nolan was never expected to play pg in 2010i guess it all depends on if you consider Nolan a pg - everyone expected him to assume the PG duties that year and he didn't quite hack it (due to your point of him being more aligned to a combo guard).
Duke always finds a way to take some L's in the ACC, I miss the years when we use to run the ACC...I would love for us to get out the ACC with less than 3 losses.
If Giles is anything close to what he was then yes Duke gonna be nearly unbeatable. But I don't see it dude already had two major injuries I think he's gonna be a shell of what he was

2 torn ACLs, right?![]()
in the original post it first line says Duke is ranked 2What publication has them #2? Kentucky is the only other team that you could give #1 to

Jon started the second half of the 08-09 season and the team changed dramatically. Jon started all 2010 season as the starting pgwho was the starting pg in the 2008/2009 season?
Nolan, he struggled around ACC play time and got injured
most people expected him to play PG coming into his junior year, not 6'5 Jon Scheyer...it was a smart move by Coach K to keep Scheyer at PG, when conventional thought was Nolan at PG and Scheyer at SG.

On to 2016-2017!never said that wasn't the case. Nolan got a concussion and was injured and never recovered the second half of the 08-09 season. If we are arguing whether people anticipated Nolan being PG or SG then it's a fruitless discussion for me. I am going off memory during the time when everyone was discussing the team.
On to 2016-2017!
