At this point 4 guys that should definitely start are Dinkins, Dixon, DeMichael, Matus and someone else at power forward until Necas gets his game together.  I do agree with Iron Duke that Necas can at least play D and rebound, until his offense comes around, and he is not a gunner on offense.  I would play Jake at the 2 guard and Matus at sf.  DO NOT start Dinkins and Rozier - just too small and Rozier has cost us defensively.  Again, Rozier should only be getting 10-15 minutes a game, why does he play so much????  Great kid, but how many times must I say he is not an A-10 quality starting PG!!!!  There is a reason that he had very limited scholie offers and none from any other A-10 school.  The A-10 PGs will chew him up, just a fact.

Iron Duke and Rayrich and others are on point.  This is a frighin joke losing to a team like this and now sitting at 0-4.  How many times do we have to say that Rozier is not a starting A-10 PG.  He is a great kid, but what haven't we learned Dru!!! When they finally started Clark at PG last year and gave Rozier the 10-15 a game we blossomed.  We should have recruited another PG, but I think Dinkins should be starting and is simply a better player.  I like Wilborn and DiMichele needs to be starting, clearly obvious.  None of the other transfers outside of Wilborn and Dinkins have showed me anything over 4 games.  Necas is in a funk, but maybe that is related to who he is playing with.  I liked when he was out there with Hronsky and Dixon, who also is in a funk, as Necas and and Hronsky at least know how to work the ball around.  Necas and Dixon need to play and just play better though.  The offense looks completely discombobulated and the D.....well, I can't count how many shots Milwaukee was able to get within 2 feet of the basket!  That one sequence that someone mentioned off a foul shot by Milwaukee was shocking - no boxing out and they get multiple rebounds and then get fouled a second time.  For the love of God, what is going on here!! We have ruined the momentum coming off our best season in 40 years!!!  

Clk, I am with you 100% as to a true center.  I think Necas is more suited to the 4, maybe the 3.  I like both of these guys, especially Foster given his size/weight - Tre Williams may be a good comparison.

CLK u r absolutely correct about a recruit who may dismiss us out of hand, it comes down to “SHOW ME THE MONEY”💰!!

Multiple visits this weekend and yesterday..............when are we going to hear something?????  Getting anxious and excited!

Pretty sure Harper said we are recruiting a higher caliber of player after our success this year and if this is any indication of the possibilities I am pumped!!!  We just need to get a signing or two to build even more momentum.  All of these guys are players, with size, and we are still hot after some other guys (big names) as well.  Let's bring it home Dru!!!  Go Dukes!!!!

I literally had tears coming down my cheek.  I was shaking!!  I was in college when we last went dancing.  All these years in the desert as someone mentioned.  Unbelievable defense when we couldn't hit the back side of a barn the second have, but we never wilted.  So happy for KD, players and DU fan base.  We did it boys!!  OMG, OMG!!  Thanks to Bonnie nation and Richmond poster for the congratulations.

Kidd and Dome I couldn't agree with you more.  We all want the Dukes to win and this should have been our year.  I'm sorry but I'd like to know what the odds are of the Dukes winning the A-10 tournament and I would put good money on us not achieving that goal no matter the odds, just the reality.  Just look at the point that Dome made:

We are last in the conference in offensive efficiency and we are last in the conference in points scored from the foul line. We are last in the conference in the percentage of points we give up at the foul line.  This is no conspiracy this is our style of play and it’s been that way since KD got here!

 

I have to agree with Stew, very disappointing.  Disciplined team totally schooled us.  No offensive flow, flawed defensively with the back door cuts, what more can you say.  Embarrassing that we are now 1-11 versus Davidson - just inexcusable.  And whoever said we still don't have a set rotation is correct and that is unacceptable at this point of the year.  Oh well.

Great points about Cannon, I actually shut the volume off as opposed to listening to him for all the reasons noted by others.  As to Rozier I agree with Iron Duke that he is a great kid with a bright future, but City Duke I am sorry, he is not for all the reasons I've already expounded on not a A-10 level starting point guard.  12-15 minutes off the bench sounds just about right to me.  If we don't get a quality PG out of the portal next year is going to not look pretty, especially with losing Dae Dea and JC.

Iron Duke, I'd like to know who you think should be getting the most minutes at PG?

Still @ Shales I couldn't agree more with your comment regarding Rozier.  He needs to come off the bench and his minutes reduced, especially with the emergence of DiMichelle, play Clark at the PG!!!  Clark can drive and score or dish.  Again, it isn't about the X's and the O's its about the Jimmy's and the Joe's and sorry, nothing personal, Kareem is a great kid and good to have on your team as a back-up, but he is NOT A-10 quality starting PG.  Townson you mentioned some names that form a good base for next year, and we do need scorers and shooters, but look at the stats (the Juco guard) and size (the Aikens kid) of the 2 guys we signed and I am underwhelmed to put it mildly.
