Duke loses 7 of its top 8 in minutes played from last season.
Plus Jeter. Damn.
Don't forget all-world Harry Giles is also gone.

Duke really is now just a basketball factory. A damn good factory at that. But any pretense of academics has been thrown out the window in Durham. K and Cal, two peas in a pod.

I never, ever want to hear about Duke basketball being focused on graduating players. K has completely sold out in his waning years
Who hasn't these days? That is what bball has turned in to and what you have to get used to as a school and a coach. The onus is on winning and to do that you have to get the best players. They are 4* or 5* players when coming to Duke, KY, UNC and even who we are trying to go after. Programs make the school $$$ and it is a now necessary cycle. We just had JC leave early. I hope we have more that are good enough, don't you?
Reading the article would help considerably. Kid attended a fake high school/basketball factory

Yes, and add to that the fact that Duke admitted and somehow kept Harry Giles eligible after the shady school he attended his senior year.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a college basketball team that doesn't take its academics seriously. The quote about the father needing to protect his son's "brand" is fantastic. This kid has a "brand" before he's old enough to vote. Good luck coaching him to play defense.
Probably not hard for any one & done. All they have to do is stay eligible for one semester.
