Good News for Duke. Although it might mean losing Jefferson and Parker. Never thought we had Parker, but Jefferson may end up at Kentucky now, if CJL comes back.

I hope all of them come anyway. Mason is in his senior year now so hopefully that will help...maybe.

Yeah, I really do not understand kids and families anymore. If my child is being recruited by the likes of K and others I would be honored. I for the life of me, do not understand why kids are even considering UCLA. Howland is a defense first coach who's teams are boring with no offense. Not sure what they are selling there. But now adays it is all about who is leaving and who is there. No one wants to fight for a spot to play for a certain coach. Kind of sad, not about the programs anymore of coaches and more about where they can start immediately. I hope all of them come anyway. Mason is in his senior year now so hopefully that will help...maybe. |

It's not just offense or defense with Howland. By all accounts, he completely lost control of his team the past couple of years. Players' attitudes were awful and he did nothing about it. The only thing I can figure is that LA is a nice town, with nice weather, and beautiful girls. Not that high school players care about those things.  |

Why would someone want to play under Ratface in the Kiwi Gymnasium when they could go to UCLA or UNC or somewhere meaningful?
PS - Everyone knew that plumdumlee was not going to the NBA and will probably not make it after his senior year either.

Hey. Great post. Funny, every mock draft I saw had Mason in the first round. But of course, someone with your intelligence knows his ability better than NBA experts. MJ is that you? UCLA, meaningful. Another good one. Bless your Heart. Why would someone want to play under Ratface in the Kiwi Gymnasium when they could go to UCLA or UNC or somewhere meaningful?

BTW, Mason also has a NC ring and a winning record against UNC while at Duke. Just thought I would share that with you.

Joco, thanks. He did not look so good during the last dook/UNC game....you know the 18 point whipping that was done by UNC! Just thought I would share.

Let us recap. Mason has a NC ring, two ACC Championship rings, a winning record against Duke's arch rival. And just so we are clear, 82-50. That is a butt whipping. Your most recent 18 point victory, not so much. Joco, thanks. He did not look so good during the last dook/UNC game....you know the 18 point whipping that was done by UNC! Just thought I would share. |

I think the last whipping NC gave dook coupled with dook losing 3 of their last 4 games says it all! That my friend is the RECAP!!! ROFL!!! Crash and burn last 3 of 4!!! Wow!

UNC lost 2 of their last 5 and more importantly, their last game, just like Duke. 82-50 is much worse than a little loss to the favorite to win the NC who obviously under achieved. I think the last whipping NC gave dook coupled with dook losing 3 of their last 4 games says it all! That my friend is the RECAP!!! ROFL!!! Crash and burn last 3 of 4!!! Wow! |

Painter is leaving to be closer to a sick family member (who was not identified in the article). Has nothing to do with State or it's coaches, players, etc. It's a shame for this kid. He was a solid contributor this year, and I hate he won't get a chance to build on that with what should be a stronger Pack team next year.

Agree about Painter. I am really surprised at his transfer request, and I hate that it's to be closer to a sick family member. This is a lot for a young person to deal with, and I wish him all the best.

I'm wondering if Mason was told he wouldn't get drafted until he was out of the guaranteed money or at the very least so far down in the first round that the risk was there to fall into the 2nd round. I'm not sure that he'll improve his game a lot (though if he somehow finds a consistent 12-15 foot jump shot and free throw stroke he could greatly improve his stock).

If he can learn to face the basket he will improve his draft position.

Sounds like you are talking about John Henson. I'm wondering if Mason was told he wouldn't get drafted until he was out of the guaranteed money or at the very least so far down in the first round that the risk was there to fall into the 2nd round. I'm not sure that he'll improve his game a lot (though if he somehow finds a consistent 12-15 foot jump shot and free throw stroke he could greatly improve his stock). |
