I'm a HUGE fan of the ACC, so I watch Duke a lot and have a few questions for you guys.
Do you think you still have a chance at Patterson? He was suppose to cut his list down to 3 teams before the McD's AA game but hasn't. He liked Kentucky and Smith a lot and his mom was upset Smith left but he is quoted as saying he liked Kentucky because of its rich basketball tradition. He is also quoted as saying he likes Billy D. and the style he runs.
Since he didn't cut his list is that an indication he waiting to see what Billy D does?
Would Duke want him if Duke was his second or third choice? Patterson is quoted as saying he wasn't impressed with Cameron Indoor when he visited it but felt better about it after playing in Cameron during the season.
Without Patterson, can Duke be in the top 1/3 of the ACC next year? Duke will have to be a run and gun type of team next year and that fits well with several ACC teams.
Run and gun offenses usually result in TOs and with freshmen playing that will mean a lot of TOs, can Coach K stand that? Coach K is usually unwilling to accept TOs and has benched guys because of that and one might think this type of play is not something Coach K is capable of coaching.
