Well one thing is almost certain in todays recruiting climate. You can pretty much get a second chance to land any recruit you missed out on the first time around.

I think with the way things have changed I'd go more to the portal and a little less to the high schooler.

Has there been anything on this recently? Frankly I would probably just go for portal players.

Aekins mom said both her sons will be at Duquesne. The other son on the football team. Saw that somewhere a week or so ago.

Great pickup he looks bigger than 6-5 but solid 235 lbs
40% 3 wow! He reminds me of former Duke Marcus Weathers!

Well one scholarship left or 2 ?
One for Center one for Bronny!!

I would think the Juco player maybe isn’t on scholarship?

Go Dukes

When I first saw the picture I was thinking here's the first big.

Kid looks like he's put together in picture. Shot 40% from the 3 and made 7 of 9 one game.

I'm pretty confident that by skill level and work ethic alone that Hronsky and Necas will be total studs next season.

I agree. Both are very good, but by next year they should be great.

Yeah man. Necas is a future NBA star, Can just see it coming.
 

Like to see him next to a tape measure and find out exactly how tall he is.

I think there's zero chance any Duke who left in portal would return but Tobi Okani looks like the perfect fit for the way we play.

If this change in conference has even a remote chance of coming to fruition, Duquesne needs to conduct an aggressive, national search for a new coach rather than moving forward with DJ in the next few days. I am not saying that they couldn't stil, ultimately, choose him. I am saying that even without a move to the BE, the Duquesne job is now quite a desirable one but with a move to the BE, it would be one of the hotter jobs open this year.

Being an Olean native & lifelong Bonnie fan, (with the exception of the 2 or 3 games when they play my beloved Dukes), I would be sad to leave the A-10. However, not so sad as to advocate against the opportunity to get into a mega Big East.

I hope DU names Dru tomorrow or Tuesday the latest.  I say this for the following reasons:

1).Why shop for hot dogs when you already have steaks in the fridge. I really think people underestimate Dru's role in the Duquesne turnaround and run to the A10 Championship. Dru has been here for two years and DU has won 20 plus games both years.  KD said that Dru ran the defense which has been the key to this team's success.  Moreover, KD has said that Dru is really basketball smart and has groomed him for the job. I would just ask the question, who could Duquesne hire who would do better than what this coaching staff has accomplished this year? 

2)  I really want to see DU retain the core returning players and I think the players all like and respect Dru and gives us the best chance to keep these guys. I would also like to see the entire staff return.

3) Don't underestimate the LeBron connection financially and otherwise.  I truly believe that this connection could propel to better recruiting and maybe even to the Big East. 

Like Adrian Monk said: I could be wrong. but I don't think so. 
Agree with everything. Let's hire Dru and hope he ends up at Ohio State in 5 years. That would mean he had a hell of a run here.

Mark Madden was hilarious ripping Pitt for chunking out of the NIT. He wants Duquesne to turn down a new City Game unless Pitt gives the Dukes 2 of 3 at the Coop.

Screw Madden!  More inches in his waistline than he has IQ points!  He's no different than the Pitt Lickers on 93.7.  He should stick to pro wrestling, which he treats like a sport!
 

Saw Madden at a concert  and he said F Duquesne, I was smarter when I got there than when I left.

Dukes could win if this dude is hurt and he plays, it's like most upsets, playing a hurt player makes that happen. But the real X-factor is KD. At the end of this season, his players are going over the top for their coach. We don't have to win to make this season special, but this game is in reach. Go Dukes.

Agree. If the Dukes keep playing that hard nosed defense, close out on the 3 point shooters, box out, hit the open looks, grab the loose balls. The Dukes can blow by them if they want to speed em up. We got this!

BYU's got this by 20.

NOPE

Thanks for the link, BYUGuy.  It is an informative video and BYU's offense is formidable.  It will be a good test against the Dukes quality defense.

I think it is safe to say that every team and game in the tournament will present formidable challenges. BYU is going up against a very good Duke team that has been on a hot streak, and I think it is anyone's game on Thursday.

Nope.

Congrats Duquesne, from Bona Nation!!! We know the exhilaration you must feel after all these years as we were in those same shoes not too long ago!!!  I predict you guys will be one of the "Cinderellas" with a few days to rest and your dynamic duo at guard getting the rest they need!  Your defense is the best I've seen in ages in the A-10 Conference!  God bless Coach Dambrot and the resilience of your team!! Good luck in the Big Dance!!  'Hope you get a good draw!! CoachSBU

Thanks for the kind words.
