The ACC Thread

D. Vassell and P. Williams are in the 2020 draft. Vassell was a no-brainer. I thought (and was hoping) we could get 1 more year out of Williams, who probably could've increased his status bigtime in 2020-20201 into a potential Top 10 pick.

Florida State will still be very good next year even though Virginia will be favored to win the ACC.

We got top recruit Scottie Barnes and a deadly long-range JUCO Sardaar Calhoun coming in. Forest's departure will probably sting the worst. We still got 8 quality guys coming back who got good PT this past season. Now I'm wondering if this means we have an open roster spot or two.

That may be before they count in the transfers in and out of their given programs too, so we may need to wait and see who's coming back, etc

Absolutely. This is just the ACC futures odds if you placed your bet today. In a few weeks, or even tomorrow, the odds could look entirely different.

By the way, what do you know about this Ivy Leaguer who just transferred to Duke who is eligible to play immediately? One thing is for sure, he should be good in the classroom.

Tape? Pronounced "Tap-pay" sat out last season with a toe injury so he's eligible right away. Here's what an opponent coach told Jeff Goodman:

6'10, 230 PF, Strong, Physical, aggressive post player. Scores most of his points around the basket, post ups, drop offs, rolling to the rim. Has significantly improved his feel and touch around the basket in his three years (jump hooks). Not much of a perimeter shooting presence, but can handle the ball well enough the facilitate the offense. Protects the rim on defensive end. Ideal 5 man for a team that needs someone who is tough, strong, and plays a role well.

Anyway, that's the scouting report on him

I'd say that's a pretty good scouting report and I also feel pretty confident that Coach K had a conversation or two with Tommy Amaker to get more information about "Tap-pay" before this transfer happened.

I still say that Amaker is the best man for the Duke job when Coach K decides to hang it up but your AD might overrule me.

The schools are essentially stuck. With restrictions in place, any new coach you get can't really go out and recruit so you'd basically be throwing that first year away and will have to try to start building your foundation in year 2.

Really don't have room for this type of negative energy in my life right now

Yeah, with all of this covid mess things are not starting off well for the ACC. This is particularly troubling for Duke since they have one of the best home court advantages in the nation and with no Cameron Crazies in the building to cheer them on Cameron Indoor Stadium is much to quiet.
