Grayson Allen is coming back to school for his junior year.

 

Damn is Duke going to be loaded.

Good, we need villains to hate.

Next year is going to be nuts for him when it comes to that.

Sports Illustrated: College basketball 2016–17 top 25: Duke, Villanova in front

Duke is the favorite to get Marques Bolden.

The talk is that if they get him, that the 2016-2017 Duke team will be the most talented team ever at the school.

[SportsGuy]

Thornton is transferring from Duke. He's from Cali and wants to play closer to home. He also sees the loaded backcourt Duke will have next year and doesn't want to see his PT diminished..of course, he won't play anywhere next year and some of the Duke backcourt will be gone for his junior season.

Whatever. Sucks to see him go as he would have been the second PG next year.

Duke did need to open up a scholarship for Bolden, who they are rumored to be getting.

Wouldn't shock me to see Jeter leave if they land Bolden.

Some fun stuff going on at UW-Milwaukee.

To quote Groucho Marx "Hello, I must be going!" Before the decision is made for me, I am officially announcing my retirement as the voice of Milwaukee Panthers Men's basketball. 

I would say it's taking the last life boat off the Titanic, but that would be unfair to the crew of the Titanic. 

Never have so many competant, talented people been run off by such a talentless group of entitled beaurocrats. No matter how much the coaches, players, and support staff care, they can't overcome incompetent administrators. 

UWM leads the world in incompetent administrators. 

I criticize awful athletic directors like Koonce, Costello, Geiger, and Braun. It's not their fault. Hell, if they elected me President I'ld take the job. If I suck at it, it's not my fault. I'm not qualified to be President. 

Should Amanda Braun turn down an AD job just because she's horribly under qualified? Hell no. She's a bad AD, and a deplorable human being, but those are the cards she's been dealt. 

Those in charge of the UW System have failed to hire effective administrators. Failed. F F F F!

It has been my pleasure to work with the wonderful players and coaches for 17 seasons. The players, coaches, parents and the fans have been like my family. 

I will miss Panther hoops the rest of my life. 

Best of luck to my friends that are still imprisoned at UWM Athletics. Fight on, brothers (and sisters.) Keep your heads low and make us proud.

Finally, best of luck to LaVall Jordan, his staff, and the players. As so often happens in the NCAA, it's not your fault. Win and get out quick, because long term is fatal at UWM Athletics. 

Panther Nation, it has been my pleasure.Cheers!

RIP Pearl Washington

 

This guy had a lot to do with the rise of the Big East back in the 80s. Really fun to watch. 

 

I'm not sure how many guys on here ever got to see him play, but check out some youtube on him when you get a chance.

Duke got Bolden today.

 

Absolutely loaded next year.

Absolutely loaded next year.

 

Think they will be better than the 98-99 team?

[SportsGuy]

Think they will be better than the 98-99 team?

More talented.

 

Anything less than a F4 appearance is a bust.

[SportsGuy]

5 first rounders next year is very possible...and at least 2 top 10 guys.
