My two problems with the ACC

[AlaskaSU]

Duke has recently turned into an unparalleled recruiting juggernaut and we no longer hear from Rutgersal.

 

[cuseattle]

It will make beating Duke that much more sweet! And you will have to look for Rutgersal on the Michigan board now...

 

[Hoo's That]

I apologize for not holding up my end of the deal. I'll try to talk more smack in the future.

I'm sorry as of now you're bball team doesn't suck enough for you to qualify as a Rutgersal type smack-talker.

No offense but you couldn't dream up enough good things to say about the Cavs to match Al's worst day.

Al is a good guy and he will be back with his FB preview he does it every year. The Duke recruiting has been a combination of K embracing the 1 and done rule and him using his USA BB connections to get to see NBA coaching chops.
Duke's recruiting has gone up while UNC's has gone down.

UNC is stacked for next season, hard to call that down.

In addition, Duke benefits the most from N Carolina's progressive train wreck. It is a perfect storm of good fortune for Duke. This season will be N Carolina's last stand. When the Southern accrediting Com. declared the courses bogus, NCarolina's fate was sealed. Declaring classes that are open to everyone bogus is outside the wheelhouse of the ncaa, but athletes taking bogus classes is right up their alley.

I was referring to UNC's recruiting, They haven't been recruiting as well these last few years.

I agree about Al. He's harmless and provides some good comedy to the board once you get him.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Wasn't that the guy who claimed that Darryl Watkins father was guilty of child abuse for wanting him to go to Syracuse instead of Rutgers?

 

[cuseinseattle]

I have way more than two problems with the ACC. I thought for sure Tony Greene was going to be one of your problems.

What am I missing:

The team has great players. Recruiting is low because of PT, I imagine.

 

[skurey]

I guess Florida St kinda helps but I can't help but feel like ACC football is on the same level as old Big East football.

 

[Alsacs]

Trust me you can't reach RutgersAl level. You would need to compare the Michigan State Spartans to the 1996 Chicago Bulls and start calling UVA the John Wooden UCLA of the East Coast.

Al's videos are sorely missed.

So if athletes take bogus classes, doesn't that mean that the credits they "earned" are bogus and thus the graduation rates for the teams involved should be much lower and consistently so for a number of years. So even if the NCAA tries to shrug their shoulders saying its outside their wheelhouse, isn't there a penalty for low grad rates? Or using players who were not academically qualified?

While nice, I would not say its a stacked team

We are recruiting almost as well as Duke, and if you miss Rutgersal

Even Kentucky will be eating Duke's dust when it comes to recruiting, but thanks for an image of RutgersAl. I miss his adjectives, i.e., calling Rutger's power forwards 'battleships'. I once stumbled on a post of his on the Dogpound expounding how the future destiny of Big East basketball is bound to be a two way race, year in and year out, between UCon and Rutgers. Can't make this stuff up. Does anyone remember Oily, his Dad?

Hmmm, retroactively banning teams for low APR's would seem to be right in the NCAA's wheelhouse.

 

[tbonezone]

i was very concerned coming into the league that the touch foul officiating would kill us. that really has't been the case.

oBE fball had the U

my biggest gripe is I truly dont care

I have exactly 0.0 interest level in anything like NCSt vs GT or Clemson vs WGAF St. or ...


Lets Go Orange!!

Agreed. We have standards. This is what I'm talking about:

Every basketball game I've ever watched or been associated with the losing teams says the referees were lousy. The winning team never complains about the referees!
