Not enough shots to go around for everyone next year.. Ever think of that? Lewis and Williams Jr won’t stay. I don’t see it happening

Are you basing this on anything other than your own opinion? Because I've seen nothing from either player to suggest that they are in any way selfish. In fact, both players want to play in the pros where shots are not easy to come by.

I don't really get what you are saying. If they transfer, they'd get no shots next year because they'd have to sit out. And, unless they are transferring to a worse school, shots are going to be few and far between. Plus, mike Lewis is used to having to share shots since he played with the NBA rookie of the year in high school.

No way Williams sits out a year. He didn't want to sit out a couple of seconds at the Dunks and donuts event.

Coach Dambrot is building a program. To do that players have to put in 4 years then pass the torch to the next group.

None of the incoming players are guaranteed anything. Lewis and Williams start next year, and the year after. Lewis is the face of the program.

They're not going anywhere.

Any evidence that they want to leave??? 

Here's the Trib article that Isiaha Mike Facetimed Lewis that he regrets leaving.  They will stay for something pretty special!

Too bad he didn't stay.  He'd be the one scoring forward they needed.

Those of us watching from a distance on the NBC feed, did you notice the sound quality when they tapped into the Ray Goss play by play?
It was very good,

But when I listen via the IHeart feed - the sound quality is equal to transmissions on a short wave walkie talkie.  Garbage.

Anybody have insights?

I am a huge fan of Ray Goss play by play, but the IHeart feed does him no justice.

 
They are telephone hookups that radio stations use, the tv feed must have been direct because it sounded like the tv announcers during the game.

I agree the sync for the tv stream with I heart is hard to listen to, but not as bad as the Jagoff from St Louis or GW. Ray knows basked ball in and out, those others are amatuers.

I'm with you 81', it's almost like some try to encourage, either intentionally or unintentionally, undermining our program.  Bull...... is right!

We say it’s bull now. Watch the chaos next year with 15 players pretty much all capable of getting high minutes.

​So what's the solution?  Should Dambrot stop recruiting good players?  Is that what they do at Duke, Kansas, & Kentucky?
 

He’s probably an Armpitt fan or RMU for that matter.  We’ll be dancing in 2019.  Write it down.

Players do transfer after being beaten out, rarely before. I could see a TV transferring if the freshmen beat him out, and he was stuck on the bench, but there's no guarantee that TV won't work hard on his game, and make it difficult to take him off the floor. All good teams have more good players than they can play. That's not what you were selling. You were selling that because EW, and ML are good, they would be looking to go big time. Moving up works for some players, but it's a gamble. For every Eric Paschal, there are 5 guys who end up sitting on the bench. Those big schools bring a Mike Lewis type (or better) every year. It's easy to get buried on the bench. If the Dukes were still garbage, I'd buy your way of thinking. Since they're not, I don't. Most likely, they would end up at an also ran P5 school, doing a lot of losing.
 

Will enjoy this year, this year.

Will enjoy next year's team when the time comes, if KD is here then things will be fine.

He said he would be.

Dear GoDukes,
I have dealt with folks going into rants against me because I said Ferry should be fired, I’ve dealt with years of losing, and dealt with folks talking about the past forever. You are a first... making up crap about good players transferring. I’ll say this once. I will never respond to any talk from you again regarding this. You are either in need of attention, a spammer from another school, or something else that I won’t mention. You have a right to post your opinions but you will not hear from me or others when you post this garbage.
