I don’t blame the staff if we lose JJ. The level of disappointment would be monumental to me.
Especially if he lands at Duke.
Let’s hope he see the (Orange) light !
 
Hoping we don't see that the upcoming OV here is just a courtesy sort of thing in hindsight when he ends up choosing.

How can you not blame the staff. Who you do blame? We can’t even lock down players in our own back yard. We are obviously lacking something. This is not acceptable. Both cheaters in NC have stepped down. We still can’t take advantage of that?

Why would you need to blame anyone for this? It seems insane to me.

Duke's boosters pay 3 or 4 kids per year hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to Duke. If Starling gets that offer he will probably go to Duke because that's a lot of money. If he doesn't get that offer there is a VERY good chance he comes to SU, out of all the beautiful colleges on this country. I just don't see where there is any blame to be given here.

You don’t see a problem here? We are trending in the wrong direction.

I can’t even bare to allow myself to expect we get him.

Like spending your last 5 bucks on a lottery ticket instead of eating

I wish and hope but expect no go

No. The college basketball world is filled with great players from NYC, NJ and Philly.
Carolina has had a pipeline to NYC since Frank McGuire. Duke had guys like Laettner, Hurley, Jay Williams, etc. In the NE, and California a lot great players leave.

The Duke/UNC/State/Wake/ECU/App St/Charlotte/Wilmington/High Point/etc. identity culture in Carolina is unique. Nothing like it in NY.

Apples to oranges comparison there. They’ve got arguably the two best programs in the country in their state, plus two more ACC programs.

I suspect that if we had another “Syracuse”, plus two more ACC programs in NY, that most NY kids would stay home.

How old are you? Man, there is no problem if a kid decides to go to Duke.

Unless they’re getting bad advice (Jordan Tucker, TBD on Filipowski).
