I'm always surprised when kids like Jackson make the mistake of going to a

It's all about the NBA for Mr. Jackson....Coach K can get him there much easier

beauso79

3/19/17 10:44pm

The NBA finds talent no matter where it is. Dumb reason to go to Duke.

DetmerForever

3/19/17 10:45pm

Talent develops faster under better coaches

beauso79

3/19/17 10:47pm

Better coaches is debatable

wapiti

Lol. No it's not.

dwhitebud

Looks like coach K has lost it. All that talent and he can't get to the Sweet 16

No. That's against the rules.

Jabari Parker's reason. See the last sentence

This is a joke right?

I disagree entirely. Would Jimmer have been lottery outside of BYU? Araujo? No.

Except there a few schools that NBA scouts just drool over

mudpupper

I'm pretty sure that NBA scouts knew about Frank when he was a high school jr.

wjman11

3/19/17 11:24pm

Ummmmm... Do you know how many NBA scouts were at BYU @ Gonzaga?

COACHdrn

3/20/17 6:12am

Do you know how many NBA scouts are at MOST Duke games?

beauso79

3/20/17 7:02am

Is Frank even transfer material?

There is no reason for him to leave duke as the starting pg and come to our

Odds of NCAA wins, NBA career, all favor Duke.

CosmoK

3/19/17 10:45pm

Odds of finding an LDS wife and being a star favor BYU

DetmerForever

Yes.

This is basketball, not gospel man

Bryce harper did ok for himself. High profile mormons won't have a problem

Stucoug83

Bryce Harper married his high school girlfriend.

dYrtbYkerYder

Mark Madsen is an example of this not happening. He only recently got married.

dYrtbYkerYder

3/20/17 1:50pm

So you're saying he still got married? Great. Confirms its not an issue

Shteve

I don't understand this... Big Fish small pond at Duke, not a fish out of water

3/20/17 5:36am

There is a pretty good singles ward down there actually.

conetah

3/20/17 7:02am

It was pretty bad IMO.

nc-puma

3/20/17 7:14am

Yeah, the NCAA wins have been so much better. Jabari and Frank both out of the tourney in the first weekend.

sakhr

3/19/17 10:48pm

Are you saying BYU is likely to win more?

CosmoK

3/19/17 11:01pm

I think if you have NBA talent you'll get there no matter where you go. It has been proven countless times.

sakhr

3/19/17 11:35pm

This is true.

travelcoug

3/19/17 11:48pm

There is a BIG difference between developing talent and just showing off talent. I agree that the NBA (and NFL, etc.)

Game Changer

3/20/17 12:21am

As if Jimmer had NBA talent when he came to BYU? Yet he became a top 10 pick. Steph Curry was the same way at Davidson.

sakhr

3/20/17 12:47am

Very true arguments, but think if Jimmer had Coach K teach him some Defense

MagicHappen$

3/20/17 2:50am

I love Jimmer, but his lack of defense is squarely on him at this point. He had 4 full seasons in the NBA to learn it.

sakhr

3/20/17 10:59am

Not when you control for recruiting ranking

wapiti

3/19/17 10:53pm

CoachK is a better coach, but based on Jimmer and Araujo Rose has a better

DetmerForever

3/19/17 10:52pm

He might be

wapiti

3/19/17 10:54pm

Duke didn't always have that. Coach K built that program.

dwhitebud

3/19/17 11:21pm

Araujo had an offer from Kentucky when he committed to us. He was a big recruit

ayfan

3/19/17 10:59pm

And he doesn't lose to UVU at home

crm48

3/19/17 10:54pm

He serving a Jimmer mission, or did he plan to serve after his first year?

ocmyhome

3/19/17 10:56pm

We do remember that it is Duke? One of the top 5 hoops teams in the last 25

Stucoug83

3/19/17 11:01pm

No one says Duke is a bad choice, I'm just saying it's not the best choice

DetmerForever

3/19/17 11:15pm

You never said why BYU would be a better choice

CFMcK

3/19/17 11:37pm

I understand what yoh are trying to say, but Frank didn't finish middle of the

Um did I read that right? You don't honestly think South Carolina would be in

CougarBacker

3/19/17 11:02pm

He's talking about their first round matchup against Troy

wjman11

3/19/17 11:04pm

No you didn't read that right. Try again.

DetmerForever

3/19/17 11:05pm

Forget basketball, a Duke degree vs. a BYU degree.

Cougtruth

3/19/17 11:17pm

Not for certain degrees. But yes, in general, I believe that's the case.

RebelScum

3/19/17 11:49pm

Purely out of curiosity, can you name any degree or field in which BYU would be considered more prestigious than Duke?

Game Changer

3/20/17 12:17am

Accounting.

Shteve

3/20/17 12:23am

And it's not even close.

Bgash

3/20/17 6:10am

Duke doesn't offer an accounting degree (undergrad)

SurreyDad

3/20/17 7:30am

It's still true to the point. If you want to study those things, BYU is better.

Bgash

3/20/17 10:03am

Completely agree. But that's not what I was responding to.

SurreyDad

3/20/17 12:55pm

Accounting and Entrepreneurship come right to mind.

RebelScum

3/20/17 12:41am

Public relations would be another, but I'm not sure Duke offers that. But BYU's

RebelScum

3/20/17 12:53am

Oh, and don't forget LDS studies.

RebelScum

3/20/17 12:53am

I would guess that BYU's language departments are probably just as good, if not better, than Duke's, due to missions

Those two semesters for Jabari will really give him a leg up in life

Ulysses14

3/20/17 4:47am

I'm sure he feels like a fool. He could be celebrating 3rd place in WCC and a first-round loss in the NIT right now.

Game Changer

3/19/17 11:18pm

But we beat Gonzaga!

CFMcK

What would BYU have been with him?

SaintGeorgeYFan

A 10 seed.

How much fun did it look like haws, emery and Mika were having this year?

Would not say it's a mistake, but his chances of being drafted do not increase going to Duke

He went to a better program. That's the end of it.

I agree with you, but you do know that Duke didn't win the title last year right
