Duquesne Receives Commitment From Mercer Transfer Guard Leon Ayers III | Pittsburgh Sports Now

KD and his assistants working hard, tryng  hard to get Duquesne rolling again.

We don’t know how any of these recent recruits or transfers will turn out. All DU fans have been going through this for years. Until I see we beat out Dayton, VCU, the Bonnies for the same players... then I’ll be more apt to think we landed someone to take us to the next level. Yes, we have the coach but we don’t have the players yet.  I’m sure you heard the quote mentioned by the announcers from a former coach. It’s not about the x’s and the o’s but the Jimmies and the Joe’s. Look, I’m not being negative... these guys could help us... but until they do I won’t be saying how fortunate we are to get them.
(Btw- this post is Not a response to anyone who has that great optimism or who posted. For me... as they say... I hope they will be great but I’ll wait and see.). Go Dukes!

If your son was an aspiring bball player coming out of HS ... until recently, would you and he considered Duq over Dayton or VCU??  Given the history/culture and facilities....no way my son goes to Duq.  It took years to get where you were....it will take years to get where you want to be.  This year was a set back for sure.  Learn from it and move on.  As ElDuque rightfully pointed out....I am an outsider and do not live and die with the program.  My only disappointment is Duq81 will not get to enjoy the coming success...I did not know him but he seemed like a class act and a credit to DU and human kind.

Just a hunch...Marcus wants to play his final year with his brother. They are very close.  KD must not think highly of Michael or think he has better long term options.
