You have quite the agenda, don't you? Perhaps it would be a better fit for your own kind.If you would've put "to Duke" at the end of your statement you would've had it right.
I don't have an agenda at all. Just enjoy recruiting. I don't flame or troll. You're information on Carter has been way off, but I don't say anything. Just give my opinion on where Carter will end up. You guys have the option to listen/not listen but some know my track record and may be interested. If you guys would rather me not post, I won't. But for those who enjoy recruiting they may want another source of information than just your tidbits that are normally incorrect.
"to dook"..there you go!!If you would've put "to Duke" at the end of your statement you would've had it right.
You're neither a Carolina alum nor fan yet you show up to impart your wisdom on a Carolina board.
Gotcha.
Is there something wrong with having conversation with someone from a rival school? I've not been rude or disrespectful so what's the harm?
Again, if people on this board do not want me to post information I have I won't. I have posted that I believe you guys will get Platek based on what I've been told. But you won't get Carter....feel free to believe or not.
If he is 100% Duke, and you make it sound like no other school has a chance, why hasnt he commited?
I stated a few posts ago that I believe he will commit soon. (By the end of summer if I had to guess). I don't know the exact reasons of why he is waiting. Why does any recruit wait when they know where they are going?
I also said nothing is 100% until they sign. But I would put it at 95% or higher as of now.
I'm all ears as well. It's nice to get the perspective of some of your fans - without wading through the garbage that Gastineau and that bozo Skysdad post. So getting it here is all the better.
You're welcome to give your perspective in my book. You seem like a good guy. I agree that it's good to have intelligent conversation with opposing fans.
Because while they think they know where they are going, they still leave some options open in case things chage. Also, carter isnt announcing until after his senior season.. he needs to see the PT available.? He will wait to make his decision. I do enjoy the info though, keep it coming. Their are a lot of people who like it!
You may be right. But I'm still going with this summer for Carter. I expect him to commit to Duke, but don't know the timeframe. I'm still going to guess this summer. He isn't the type to enjoy dragging out the process once he's 100% sure.
You saying this summer?..well,if he's playing on the U.S. u18 team,we're screwed after k is in his ear all summer !!
I think the more important question is who are the next 10 players that Roy will offer.
We will have 5 or 6 openings to fill - and that's after counting Felton. But we only have 8 offers out.
Things are looking up - a fine 2016 run and the fading concerns about sanctions. So Roy should find it easier to recruit when he has plenty of PT and maybe a couple of starting positions to offer. But we need more offers out there.

Settin yourself up for the BIG fall? Told y'all before, Duke's to lose.
From back in March 2016 ...
Duke's short run in the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Tournament may be further tarnished after reports surfaced today that all 10 scholarship players on the roster are being given good educations in an effort to help them find good jobs after they leave the school. “It’s important to remember that right now these are only allegations — allegations that we are looking into,” said NCAA president Mark Emmert
“But, obviously, if true, this would be very disappointing. The NCAA has certain expectations and standards. It’s not fair for players at one school to be given good educations while athletes at other member schools receive basic, remedial instruction that is worth essentially nothing.”
According to documents seized from the school’s registrar’s office,
Duke players have received an education worth some $50,000 per year totaling $200,000 over a four-year career.
Compare that to player at a school like University of North Carolina where tuition is set at $9,000— but with an actual value far below that. “We don’t want to say too much until these reports are confirmed,” said UNC head basketball coach Roy Williams, “But we’re talking about almost $165,000 difference in education per player — and that’s even if my players stayed four years or graduated, which many of them do not. Then these Duke players are reportedly stepping into good jobs after graduation while my kids, if they don’t make the NBA, have absolutely no job prospects or life skills. It’s far from a balanced playing field. They are buying the best players by giving them a high-priced education.”
In substantiation of the allegations that they were given expensive educations, many Duke players have been spotted around campus holding books, studying and engaging in interesting conversations. Others have been seen with people who are known not to be tutors. Duke shooting guard Grayson Allen, reportedly a physics major, denied allegations that the Blue Devil program is cheating. “The discourse on this matter is completely speculative, fatuous and inane,” he said, further implicating the program

You're welcome to state your opinion. But must you reiterate it every time someone happens to disagree? We got your take the first 3-4 times you stated it
Roy should continue to cast a wide net. The Heels cannot compete with Kentucky, Duke and Kansas on the 1 and dones. As soon as many of you settle on this reality you will feel better. We need some sold 2-3 year bigs ranked in the 20-50 range and the Heels with be just fine. On the other hand, if Roy can bring in a player like Bamba or Knox for one year that would be icing on the cake.
It's called having a discussion. What's wrong with him arguing his case?
I actually started this thread about CAROLINA recruiting and along comes a dookie to hijack it and discuss the latest on a DOOk recruit . I really do not give a rats ass about that or your opinion on what dook's latest recruiting looks like. There is ample opportunity to discuss that subject on your board , although the obsession with THIS board on the Devils Illustrated mess is well known and documented.
They have a 54... FIFTY FOUR!!!! page thread that drones on and on and on with quotes from posters on this board and then endless pathetic comments from them on OUR comments here....talk about obsession!!!
In the future if you want to hazard a guess on who you think CAROLINA will sign next...ya know the POINT of this entire thread... then feel free to do so. Otherwise any "discussion " about a topic( who will DOOK sign next) that is really not a part of this thread, and quite frankly of ZERO interest to most of us, should be confined to the pages of your own sites.

He's not hijacking anything you idiot. He's giving his opinion on a recruit, that both of our programs want very badly. It is his opinion that Wendell Carter will go to Duke, and given recent history and interviews with the kid it's hardly surprising that he thinks so.
I don't like those assholes from Durham any more than you do, but you don't serve any purpose by driving away people who just want to talk basketball, no matter who they root for.
So back off and take a midol.

I appreciate it @carolinablue34. But he may be right. It may be best for me to stay on my own board. I try to be respectful and participate in discussion without flaming or trolling. Of course, most of the subjects I choose to participate in are Duke topics given that I am a Duke fan. I enjoy reading what the rival team is saying/thinking regarding recruits, match ups, etc.
I know most here don't know me, I believe you and I have corresponded on the national board some and I'm lucky enough to have some good contacts when it comes to guys Duke is recruiting. Many times, we are recruiting the same players so I try to throw in something every now and then, especially when I read something that's complete wrong. But no matter how civil I try to be I realize that bad news is never going to be received well on a rival's site so it's probably best if I take @keysersosay#1 advice and just refrain from posting. I do appreciate the few who have been welcoming to me.

His first post(#2) in this thread was to guess that Platek would be our next commit.
You asked for folks to please respond/comment.
I went back and read every post he has authored here on Radar, and I haven't read anything that Coach325 has posted that was even the slightest offensive towards UNC, the program or anyone here. In truth, he seems like a well mannered visitor so far . . he agreed that we will likely get Platek. If, he believes that Carter goes to them and not UK or us, he likely is correct IMO.
Dude, you're welcome to post here whenever you want. Don't let these other fools scare you off. You're a reasonable guy (for a dook fan haha) and you don't flame, troll, or bullshit. So f**k it, tell us what you think. It's good insight.
Ya know carolinablue 34 is rather an interesting fellow. I just happened to venture on over to DI to see f they had a thread on Woody ...yeah I know a LONGSHOT and wishful thinking
Lo and behold their 54 page thread about this board is there and guess who is an active participant??? Why our friend carolinblue 34 and HE just loves trashing his fellow heels on this board on the DI board
here is a quote( and note how he singles out one of our heels poster in particular
Yeah we got our bad apples. To be honest, I get pissed off at the sheer stupidity that happens in THR that's become the norm.
However, we're not all half wits like chapelheeled. If I were a mod it'd be different, but I'm not so what can do you do?
and a little later he almost outs himself
I've even been accused of being an undercover dook fan.

Now he wants everyone to ' stay classy"
Well justa few posts above he calls me an idiot among other childish attempts at insult
This fellow seems to have a real desire to have the dookies LIKE him. He NEEDS that it seems and hewill trash his fellow Heels to get their approval
Closet dook fan indeed

Information? Lessee:
"you guys will get Platek based on what I've been told".
Not exactly a revelation.
And yeah, dook leads for Carter.
Go with the safe bet so you can say you know something? Earth shattering.
The operative question here is not "what's the harm"... it's what's the purpose?
I'll go ahead and answer that for you: None of any value.
Lay off the attacks on other posters and keep it cival guys.
Carolina blue..really?..was starting to like you until reading what key posted!!..seems like you play both sides of the fence a little more than the normal..i've noticed that you do go out your way to defend a dookie any chance you get..time to pick a side bruh!!
I'm pretty sure his 'purpose' is to enjoy a message board discussion around recruitment.
Did Coach325 hurt your itty-bitty feelings by posting what he did . . ? Need a tissue . . ?
I really would like to get this thread back on track and away from the ditch it went into over a whole lot of nothing.
I HAVE to say though that I am astounded, really shocked at some members of the Carolina fan base.
WHO in their right mind goes to the main message board of out most bitter rival and trashes and mocks OUR board and fans and an individual Carolina fan??
WHO does that really??? I cannot IMAGINE myself or virtually any of my fellow Heels fans DOING that.
But yet a FEW certain ones DO that and apparently see nothing wrong with it .
How many dookies come here and do that to THEIR fellow cultists at UK East?? HMMM ..How many ? Exactly ZERO . How about the woofies???? Any of those around here ...EVER??? Kitty cat fans???? NOPE
I gotta tell ya this whole attitude of abusing and ridiculing this fan base ( from within) is getting really old and really tiresome
NOW folks are doing it on dookie boards and thinking nothing of it.
it is pathetic ,really sad and pathetic IMO.
