This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It’s clear he’s on a totally different level by Btd

Rarely has someone in my lifetime following ND looked like a star day one and then not ended up being a star. There are some that just jump right off the page the instant you see them and this kid is one of those. I expect him to be up and down this year like any freshman in the ACC, but it is clear he is more the kind of guy Duke signs than Nd most of the time.

He may help us forget Wesley - until we all ponder WTF our year would have been had Wesley played this one year with JJ. That had 2015 type potential talent wise, but not as seasoned as Grant, Pat, etc to pair with the talent.

The team overall is far more balanced and athletic than we’ve been in a while - except we have zero legitimate big men - two stretch 4’s and a freshman a year or more away. The constant Brey gap for forwards - where every 3-4 years we have a year where we have no true big men or only one total.
