Zion......


Jan 22, 2018, 10:46 AM

OK....I guess we weren't played....

But #### I feel played. After decades of watching the best players leave SC for one blueblood or another I thought we were finally going to catch a break. In the words of a mediocre QB, "never again" will I allow myself to hope.

And just how long is Tigernet front page going to be the Dook recrootin' page. Puh-leze...

to be great? Go to Duke and a championship is given to you. Had we played in Chapel Hill next year with Zion we would have ended the streak and he would go down in CBB lore. Instead he goes to Duke and will never be thought of again in college BB b/c there are 6 other guys on that team that make him look like just another dude. I mean look at this Trae Young kid out in Oklahoma. If he was at Kansas or UNC he wouldn't' be getting the notoriety that he's getting now. B/c he would be watered down by the other talent.

I mean even going to SCAR would've made more sense b/c you maybe think you can get them over the hump in the final four scenario.... I just dont' get it. Basketball is such a individual marketed game and being lumped in with 4 other guys who garner more if not just the same amount of attention seems to hurt your cause not help.

Maybe they'll just get rid of this one and done rule and save us all the drama. I say just change it to the college football protocol. If you go to college you gotta wait til junior year to declare otherwise you just go straight to the draft.

He made the right call and going to Duke was obviously....

way more practical.

Also, Duke has won it all 3 times in the last 20 years.

It's not a given.

Afraid to work? Duke is the power house of basketball so bc he choose them he doesnt want to work hard to be great? Do you think thats what everyone says about Trevor Lawrence and Xavier Thomas? Oh they just choose Clemson bc they will be handed a championship and go into the NFL? Come on now...

I think we were played personally. I heard it's out now that mom is moving up to Durham to be with him...she'd already quit her job several months ago. Face it....b-ball is much more of a money exchange business than football.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe she would have moved to Clemson if he signed with us?


Jan 22, 2018, 1:08 PM

I agree with you though that it is possible. Duke is such an obvious choice that you could be correct.
