Offline I am really excited about the recruiting class KD & Staff have put together. Swingle 6-11 C, Rotroff 6-10 C, Kelly 6-9 PF, Bizeau 6-11 PF & Wade 6-2 PG all look to be terrific players. I honestly don't remember a DU team that will have as much height and depth as next years team. Go Dukes! Last edited by CLK (11/06/2017 9:43 am) Offline Christmas in November. Offline Remember the lyrics of the old rock song, "hang on, help is on the way" Offline I am probably older than anyone here and I certainly don't remember this kind of height. Safe to say this will be the tallest DU BB team ever! Sure to be growing pains next year just as this year but the future seems bright! Looking forward to seeing the fulfillment of KD's vision for the program. Offline Was there a change in the board font or is it my computer!? Offline Was there a change in the board font or is it my computer!? The board has been tweaked. A bit easier to read for us old people. Offline Thanks for the upgrade!! Offline Hoping that there is a athletic small forward, with scoring prowess sitting out (or two). We should have size and guards, but really need that SF that can score and guard the opponents high-scoring SF. Offline That set of SF skills just might develop in a 6'9" frame. That would be a positive development. Offline Hoping that there is a athletic small forward, with scoring prowess sitting out (or two). We should have size and guards, but really need that SF that can score and guard the opponents high-scoring SF. Maybe Eric Williams & Marcus Weathers viewed by staff as the answer? But I also agree with Applecorps that a big or two (Verhoeven or one of the freshmen?) might factor in. Offline I haven't seen Weathers; but did see Williams at the Chatham game, and he wasn't shy about taking the 3 but was not hitting them. I like his chances of being a good player. He moves well, was agressive, and certainly not overwhelmed by the speed of the game. He has a good frame in which he can add muscle. Offline We'll be leaning heavily on young Mr. Lewis II while the other kids develop this year. Hoping Robinson, Smith, and RC-C have step-up years, and Eric James rebounds from last year. Offline Dylan Swingle - Signed Offline Brandon Wade's twitter says he'll be signing some time this week. Brandon Wade's twitter says he'll be signing some time this week. Brandon said tomorrow per twitter. Offline duqkurt, and it's done.

We may need to keep that in mind as the undermanned Dukes battle this year, but with what's coming I find it hard to believe that this will be my team next year, plus the transfers already in the gym daily, but believe I do.

Based on his video l see Bizeau as a guy that will be able to step out and hit the 3; at least he has that potential, as as long as he can compete in the other aspects such as physicality, defense and instincts.
From what little we could see against Chatham, Tydus still needs to develop a "step out" shot. At this point I doubt that anyone would guard him out there. Hopefully he can develop that part of his game; but that is hard to do at this point. May be better if he has no habits than bad habits shooting the ball!
