So much for TK playing some center...

[VaDukie]

Disappointing but not terribly surprising.

Is this some sick April Fool's joke?
Please?

[Karl Beem]

Now we can offer 4 in 2009.

I sincerely hope so.

If this is true, this might be the most disappointing transfer of the K era. I think King has the potential to be something special at Duke, and I think he has every opportunity to earn significant playing time next year. I sincerely hope this is not true, and that Taylor will be donning the blue and white for three more seasons.

I sincerely hope so.

If he is staying that is great ; however, long-term...freeing up a scholarship may not be so bad as he is another shooter without the D or quite the size to play inside. We need a quick PG and sturdy inside presence. Get one with this scholarship.

[Devilsfan]

This is awful news.

i think you mean 5....we were already targeting 4(boynton, leslie mac, plumlee, ech)

[The Slamming Butcher]

...oy gevalt.

[Lord Ash]

Absolutely terrible news.

Taylor had a good attitude, and before he got benched every single time he missed a shot he also showed a nice scoring touch. He was a fantastic scorer in high school, could extend the opposing D far out (thus opening lanes for slashers) and had a little bit of the size we need desperately at this point.

This seems to me to be a huge loss for Duke, and another sign among many of trouble for Duke basketball.

And we already lost Ech to Rutgers.

[godukerocks]

I sincerely hope so.

I mean, really, would TDD do this?

[Magnolia888]

I sincerely hope this is not true.

Taylor, say it ain't so.

I was really looking forward to watching him develop as a player next year.

WORD to everything you said, Lord Ash. I pray this isn't true but if it is I can't help but feel this is a very ominous sign for a program that's already hurting. Dang!

Now we have room for 4.

[freedevil]

Here's to April 1st. Hopefully.

[Troublemaker]

This is a tough loss. If Taylor had stayed and developed, he could've been one of the most feared players in the country because of his range. I am very disappointed by this news.

could you please clarify who mac is?

[Magnolia888]

Leslie Mac = Leslie MacDonald? Is that right?
