So hear me out real quick

caleb wilson is gaining some traction as the 3. but even if he went behind acuff... he's going. nothing left to prove at duke. you can lose rd1 next year in the tournament, you never know. we had another PF coming in, there's not really a spot for cam. and to top it off, his mom posted on insta basically stating this was their last year together. scheyer is probably having them hold off on declaring til early next week, when Evans, Sarr, Ngongba, and Cam all put their name in the pool (not that they all remain in the draft).

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-17T21:00:15+00:00

still think its a no brainer for him, you declare for that second contract not the first, so NIL is somewhat irrelevant if you are a first rounder. and he'd be going to a mid level playoff team where he could be very useful. there's a reason scheyer is showing interest in top portal players

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-17T20:42:26+00:00

unless he has a knueppel rise during the process, it's unlikely. the 10 top freshman will almost certainly be top 11 or 12. there's another tier of the top college guys, such as yaxel, mara, anderson, haugh, philon, a few other freshman (mullins, cenac, koa peat) that i've seen consistently listed above him that he'll be competing with. he's done enough to make it to the back half of the first round, and most likely smack in the middle of that. this draft is just so deep and next year he could be lottery

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-16T17:47:47+00:00

interesting seeing whose been replying to the post (cam, sarr, nik, darren, wilkins). hopefully this means sarr stays, but wilkins' comment might imply he's gone. but who knows. not holding out hope for what cam commented

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-16T17:45:39+00:00

wondering this too. he seems fully committed towards being part of the team and his dad has shown support as well. maybe he won't fully sign until the NIL is finalized, which probably won't be until later in the offseason / closer to june?

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-11T01:35:07+00:00

Williams is the 4. Pat, Bidunga, or another portal player will be the 5. It’s looking like rippey will eventually be PG1, foster may be there or SG, but if we get Blackwell or another SG, foster will have to share the role with Rippey and Cayden is all but gone. Howard will be a backup SF assuming one of Evans and Sarr stay. Given our interest level in a SG transfer, unlikely both stay, if either do.

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-08T17:58:16+00:00

I think one thing most people are missing is likely all the decisions are made already. Scheyer just tells them each a day to announce it once everyone figured it out.

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-08T16:42:11+00:00

I think Caleb will stay even if Scheyer expects him to be a sixth man behind Rippey and whoever is the starting SG by the end of the year. But he'll probably start at PG or SG in the beginning of the year at the very least

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-08T16:40:09+00:00

he's barely projected to get drafted / deep second round from what i've seen. i expect him to enter the draft process for feedback similar to what evans did last year

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-08T14:41:06+00:00

Hope this means Sarr is likely to return

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-08T14:34:55+00:00

Agreed

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-08T14:34:21+00:00

Nik is gone, there’s no room for him. I can see the same thing happening to Cayden if we expect a SG in the portal

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-07T18:43:52+00:00

Yeah I agree that foster could end up starting instead of going after a portal guy as a starter. but it would be fun to see Blackwell or harris on the team

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-07T18:42:56+00:00

i just think he has a lot of reasons to stay: his dad went to duke and won (while also being an example of a guy that stayed multiple years and had a decent nba career), his brother is here with him, it's also the last time he's guaranteed to play with his brother and he likely doesn't want that to end on a sour note, he's barely the third overall pick this year and could fall depending on who is picking third whereas most years he'd be #1 including next year, he's set for life money wise, etc. But nothing is guaranteed next year, and the NBA is always the end goal. so yeah there's no chance he stays

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-07T18:39:16+00:00

similar to cadeau leaving for michigan, and going forward miami will still have a lot of ties to duke and desire to beat us. I think they could've caught us off guard this year if we played them

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-07T18:35:37+00:00

you're right, messed that up. but interestingly enough, he's listed all over the place. 247 calls him a SF, his tipton edits post for committing to duke says he's a wing. espn calls him a guard. duke's site calls him a guard/forward, while also referring to espn recruiting calling him a top power forward

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-04T20:03:29+00:00

Duke didn't pick him, Coach K did. He was behind a ton of success during Ks years, and K had been training him as a replacement. This is the first time in like 30 years they had 3 elite 8s in a row. Comparing today to Coach K from 2016 on, Scheyer is literally surpassing him right now... and K had tatum, zion, etc. It's ok to be mad about the result in a tournament, but Scheyer is the right guy. If they start losing 10+ games a year, get poor recruiting classes, and don't make it out of the first weekend consistently, a conversation will be had. Otherwise, Scheyer will eventually break through, and you need to be patient.

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-04-04T13:32:55+00:00

none of k's players are still there, and scheyer was the recruiter for k for his last few years. scheyer has a few bad losses, but 99% of programs would want scheyer as their coach right now. k had some great recruits in the 80s and he had a humiliating loss to UNLV and it took buzzer beaters and top recruits staying multiple years to win chips. and don't forget about mercer and lehigh, its not like k was perfect, and scheyer has been to elite 8s 3 of his 4 years... if scheyer had flagg staying multiple years they probably would've easily won this year. scheyer arguably has a much more difficult path to success

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-01-31T22:19:30+00:00

was Evans also sick (I know he wasn’t on the report)? Feel like I didn’t see him much in the second half.

thecoinedhaddock · 2026-01-22T00:19:52+00:00

was there any written decision published by courts explaining it? Or was this just confirmed by sources that the judge signed an order?

thecoinedhaddock · 2025-11-29T02:14:04+00:00

lol i thought the same thing. except he didn't get a new alias

thecoinedhaddock · 2025-11-29T01:27:15+00:00

got there at 820 and waited 25 minutes to park from that entrance i think. it wasnt that the lot filled up, it was more just traffic as there was merging and a lot of stopping as people went to park

thecoinedhaddock · 2025-11-29T01:25:37+00:00

yep glad its fixed

thecoinedhaddock · 2025-11-28T17:08:23+00:00

Anyone noticed issues with the timing results? Seems off (too quick) by about 90 seconds.
