ACC Operation Basketball has begun, which means that insightful and generic quotes alike about the upcoming season are soon to be used and reused by all of the excellent and not-so-excellent journalists and bloggers alike.
May this thread serve as a receptacle for them all.
Today started with a gem from Coach K, as reported by ESPN's college basketball Twitter account.
Coach was asked if he could summarize recruiting in a single word.
No.
Brevity is wit.

Interview with Coach K: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=9832921
Nothing really new
Key points:
-Jabari is extremely coachable and already seems to be one of Coach K's favorites
-Jabari doesn't have an insane ego, making it easy for his players to like him
-Hood and Jabari are the most talented players, despite not playing a second for Duke
-West Point trip was a great way for players to connect with heroes and leaders
-Coach K is looking forward to the "new" ACC

#duke's Mike Krzyzewski was told tyler thornton said Andre Dawkins is a better defender now. "That wouldn't take much," K said.
Damn, K.

I certainly agree with Georgia Tech being higher than 11th. I think they have a real shot at being solid and perhaps making a run at the tournament.
