Yah for sure Duke was a good program before K but they were still very much in the shadow of North Carolina and def not close to being a blue blood. But slowly Duke has flipped the script on the state school and now they are the premiere program present day in college basketball and have turned themselves in to a blue blood, national and even global brand. Correct, '82, not '81. MUH BBAADD!! Yes, Duke was a good program but at best second-tier ACC until that '82 class. Coach K was close to getting run off until the right collection of guys sent them on a path to being THE program for the next 30 years. They had more historical success than AU but were not UNC/Kentucky/Kansas level at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really wasn't impressive at Army before Duke hired him. His 1st 3 years at Duke were also unimpressive & they hired him after going to the championship game just 2 years earlier.

Fun to look back and see that some of the best hires weren’t the “home run hire”, but the “right guy at the right time” hires. With the dollars involved these days it takes a really confident, surefooted administration to pull it off. And, actually Gene Banks the player may have been the one that changed the trajectory of that program somewhat before Coach K even got there (remember watching him play in the final against U.K. with Goose Givens when I was a kid, to date myself lol) And, none of this has anything to do with that super stud player Jaylen Green😛!

boomstick 1,315 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 One of the Rivals national guys says Memphis is the team to beat for Jalen Green. Granted, he's been picking Memphis for quite some time now and admits that it's a slight lead, but he's still picking Memphis in spite of the late steam Auburn has shown in his recruitment. It's on Auburn Rival's front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
