Understand it perfectly that others think is good, progress etc.. does not mean that is how i look at it. I see a program without identity, with one winning conference season. If you find it exhausting quit reading my posts and responding. You have your opinions, i have mine. Never said my opinion is better. We are looking at the same thing differently, big deal.
Retire ! Golf, travel, volunteer, go to sporting events. FYI, this is a program i have supported for over 50 years ! Still think this team can do great this year. Not afraid to criticize what i feel has been a atrocious 6 year record.
Agree with every part of your post. I do not find it attractive to play for him but players coming out of high school do. He gets a ton of help not just by his success but ESPN and Labron always endorsing him.
Wait, What!? Fuddruckers still exists? I always loved Mother Fuddruckers mustard sauce...?
Except, it seems it is who he is. It’s what he wanted to do in high school. He very very rarely posted up versus defenders nearly a foot shorter.Exactly. He is a spot up shooter for Duke and does nothing but stand around the arc. Contributes almost nothing else. What a shame

What if Hurt wanted to play at Duke and and thinks K is a far better coach and loves that wildly successful brand,nore renowned school. What if those are his thoughts ? Why so much hate on the kid and his game ? Every coach wanted him including ours.
Have you watched the games? He is barely a role-player. I am all for player choice and he is able to choose any school he wants. Just reflects the type of player he will be if he makes it to the next level that he would rather be a 5th option on a stacked team.
Too early. He will play in a ton of big games, practice against better players and perhaps win a title as a player whom makes the big plays. His story has a long way to play out. Where do you think he should have gone ? What were his best choices all things considered ?
Pretty analytical by nature. take out my biased fandom in a honest ever to see what is as opposed to what I want to see. If I use my bias I believe that a player like Hurt should go to UVA for the incredible combination of coaching, winning,development and academics. I am a advocate for players picking the right coach, the right person. Plus, a ton of these super high end kids recruit each other. Tre did a great job on Hurt on playing in the biggest games on the best teams. I do not see a soft player. I see a true freshman learning to play in the spread floor at several positions, he even played behind the defense tonight in spots. Finding his way on a loaded roster. Actually impressed with how he conducts himself. Sure he could have picked a struggling program and scored 15 a game this year. that does not mean his overall experience would be better or his development would be better. Maybe Duke was a dream come true program .
Valid points. I meant more that if someone says “I think he made a mistake choosing Duke” you want long explanations as to why and even then you’ll ask a dozen follow-up questions. It’s an internet message board. Someone can pop on and say “Gophers got the better Hurt” and it’s cool cause they don’t need to explain themselves.
Its rare to ever know if a kid made the right decision when choosing a school. Maybe Tyus Jones would have been better at UNC somehow. We will never know. You might, but you built programs

We all take different things from each experiences. I view message boards as a place for people to share opinions and observations. If someone posts that the Gophers got the better Hurt, they are free to type that. The handle I use. is simply a nickname given to me by a basketball coaching family for occasionally pre scouting. Does not mean I think I know more or that my opinion is the authority. It is simply my opinion. There are hundreds and thousands of kids who swear they made the only decision they ever wanted for a particular school. Just me but it seems as a good word to go by is the players believing it themselves as opposed to a fan thinking they might know otherwise. Some people make decisions and live their whole life thrilled at that decision. Especially a young athlete that dreamt of playing for a certain program and a certain coach.
