Actually, miketherevelator (Mike the revelator). Not picking on you. For some reason a lot of people saw "elevator" in the name including me until one day I looked more closely.

Underwood keeps fueling that phrase, he just said it again yesterday. It is sort of a rejection response.

Now you two go to your room and don't come out until we get a bigLots of know it alls here think their opinions are real. Reality can be observed in real time, or can be realized after the fact. Reality doesn't happen before the fact, except in movies. If they give no logical argument, provide no data from verified sources, it should be assumed to be bs, imo. Sometimes called flatulence, or gas. Something immature brains can not comprehend. I find it somewhat funny that the two most prolific posters on this board throw their stuff on the wall everyday, and people appear to suck it up. Apparently, you have to have this thing called wisdom to understand what Mr. Jordan had observed.

Sad.....isn't it?Wow... just wow.
Were there any major basketball facility upgrades in mid 2000s? This seems to be a prime spot for fundraising/donations especially around ffour run. Just curious.So, in short, I don't think winning solves everything. I think winning helps. New training facilities help. Building up some swagger around the program helps. I think we are on our way to doing all of these things, but it takes time, and our program had been dragged so far through the dirt prior to this that it's almost like starting with nothing. Ayo is an outlier, not a trend. We need that to be a trend.

What did I miss?Sad.....isn't it?
So QG is here this weekend. Wants to enroll in December and redshirt. What’s our pitch and who is leading for him currently?
Most likely Syracuse, Oregon and Illinois. Syracuse is likely leading.Really hope we’re in his top 3 dropping tomorrow
I would think our style of play and open scholarship are the things going for us. I think Oregon and Syracuse might also have open scholarships (maybe someone else on the Board knows that for sure). Hopefully he is scared off by the Oregon news and he doesn't want to play the Syracuse zone defense.Thanks! Maybe Oregon’s name in the news today will hurt their chances moving forward? Probably not.
Me too otherwise the visit this weekend will be really awkward.Really hope we’re in his top 3 dropping tomorrow
The glass really is half full, and it really is half empty.
QG looks like another great player to get a look at. I hope we can land talent like this and wouldn't it make sense? All the noise around the other 3 and we land some obscure top 50 fish dude from Canada. Looks like Ford's seeds took a lot of sunlight to sprout.So QG is here this weekend.

Not related to our recruiting, but Kevin Keats just reaped in a 5 start and is building a beast at NC State. S&C, I’m sure has some feeling about this.
How are some of the other guys we were looking at before hiring BU doing? On the football side I like to keep an eye on Fuente, Fleck, Babers, etc. and they're all having success. Doesn't mean they would've been successful here but an interesting topic nonetheless. Cuonzo and Archie obviously were two that got a lot of buzz.
I bet they do their workouts in the equivalent of 1960s Huff Hall locker and weight rooms, too, right?
You are completely missing the point (or points) here.
First, Assembly Hall opened in 1963. If you are honestly claiming that 1960s basketball is the same as 2010s basketball, then I don't know what else to say here.
Second, sure Duke plays in a historic, old-style gymnasium (which, I'll note, is actually twice the size of Huff, not "slightly larger"), but it isn't the game facilities that have the impact. As long as game facilities draw a crowd then it's pretty irrelevant (and sometimes even that isn't relevant). Practice and training facilities are where the big sell is. We aren't talking about selling tickets to fans, who want a good gameday experience. We are talking about selling training and playing opportunities to athletes who, just maybe, might someday get a shot at the pros. Training facilities matter, and having state of the art training facilities (where players spend most of their time anyway) can be a huge selling point both for the awe of it and for the fact that good training facilities can help players reach the pros.
Duke may play in a (charming) old building, but they practice in a palace. We don't.
