I read an article that 83.7% of entrants got eliminated after the first game of the tourney.

I'm so old I remember reading about Calvin Hill's son committing to Duke.

Now, he's a broken down old analyst

It is philosophical, the last 5-10 years it seems he values 3 point shooting above all else. You don't see elite physical talents (collegiately speaking) like Deng, Boozer, Maggette, Jay Williams, etc. that they had back in the 90's/very early 00's. Parker is on that level but the vast majority of these guys are basically just 3 point specialists.

He's changed his recruiting the past few seasons but they've had hardly any inside toughness over the last 5-10 years outside of a bunch of Plumlee goofs.
That's also a product of Duke getting who they wanted, when they wanted back then. Now kids don't flock in droves to them. He still gets one or two of the premeire talent but you can't collect them and create a great team anymore.

I heard the NBA wants to add another year onto the age limit. Will be interesting to see college basketball get back to it's former greatness without the one and done's. Will probably kill the small schools though.

I'll say this, though.... hopefully the next time we see Rodney Hood on a basketball floor, it's at the United Center wearing white.

Everyone thought Romo and Garrett were there to learn from Coach K. Maybe they went there to pass on the choking losers' curse...

Well at least Deuce still has the "4 titles in 23 years" mantra to hang on to.

Duke. Overrated. Once. Again.

We've got 16 and 19 and a future first from Sacramento.... we can trade up. He could be in the teens. He's not gonna crack the top 7-8.
Unless that Sacramento is top 5 protected forever, id never deal it to move up for a borderline lottery player.
