The ACC Thread

[BigFin]

FSU loses Isaac, Bacon and Rathan-Mayes, their 3 leading scorers on the season, to the draft. FSU goes into a little bit of a rebuild for next season.

Yes and no. We should still be deep.

Here's a novel idea... Actually wait till he official declares he is transferring before reporting it! (Not you @douggie, I mean the news)

The rumors about him have been swirling for a week and they jumped the gun a bit. I don't know if it's better that he stays and becomes disgruntled sitting the bench, or that he clears a roster spot for another recruit.

Too be honest probably better for him to leave.. Unless he magically returns to his form... Yes, he didn't play much but when he did I wasn't all that impressed with him.

Like it or not, he's back.

Yup, saw this earlier last night... Hopefully he will be healthy and prove me wrong next season

Actually, not counting the 2017 freshmen, we'll have 7 good players

G CJ Walker
G Trent Forest
G Terrance Mann
F/G Braian Angola-Rodas
G PJ Savoy
F Phil Cofer
C Christ Koumandje

Per Rivals, our 2017 class:

4* C - I. Obiagu
4* F - W. Wilkes
4* F - R. Gray
3* F - A. Polite
3* G - B. Trimble

I guess Kevin Knox is out of the picture? So, hopefully 10 very usable players for 2017-2018. Plus, Hamilton usually pulls some guy out of nowhere.

Kennard is entering the draft and signed with an agent. Only Allen remains undecided, and the difference between Duke looking drastically different.

I think he should stay. His stock is very low. Kennard right now is likely gone late teens or so. Allen is a 2nd round pick. Better stay and attempt to have his best year at Duke so he can go in the first round next year.

Duke was destined to look a whole lot different regardless next season. I was expecting Kennard to leave. I also think Allen goes, but he may stay. Anyways, most of these high school ballers are holding out to see who leaves and who stays. The more that go, the better the chance to get a superb Freshman next season.

I'm not sure he can improve his stock at this point. I think he'll be a 2nd rounder regardless if he comes out this year or next.

That's true, though I didn't expect Jeter to leave, and for some reason, I though Kennard would stay even though he's coming off a fantastic year, and his stock won't be higher probably at any point. I always thought of him as a 4 year guy for some reason.

Once he became an All-American I knew he was done at Duke. How can he get any better? And he saw Grayson's fall. It was really a No-brainer.

All that is true. I guess I wasn't expecting that big of a leap he made this year, so I envisioned he'd stay longer, simply because he had too, but he played himself into the middle/early 20's of first round.

Wake now has an assistant slot to fill as Brett Ballard took a head coaching job at a DII school.

Would be interested to see if Bobby Lutz is contacted. A ton of ties to the state and his strength is coaching defense. He also has a ton of experience.
