Hot off an email forward. Couldn't wait until Friday to break this news. Sad stuff.

[weezie]

Thanks for the evening wave of shock. I'm reaching through the screen to throttle you dd!

Yup. I bet this scuttles any chance we had of recruiting Sidd Finch. Damn.

Just a matter of time. I wonder if this means K will think about retiring sooner than later.

[Pghdukie]

Another round of Attorney fees, sanctions, paper dumps, countless hours of Nancy Grace interviewing Gottlieb. It's MADNESS I say. Shear MADNESS. Will it end up as another 30 for 30 program. Tuition will skyrocket just to cover the costs.

Should I take this opportunity to flame you in retribution for the accidental flame you gave me a long time ago?

Not to take sides, but -- yes, obviously.

I could have sworn we got -jk to reverse that. :o

But I've made it up to you many, many times. I hope.

Wow. What a memory. :(

And because you have been good to me, I didn't flame you. Might actually have to spork you for this one - if I've spread enough love around.

Well played sir, well played!

All jokes aside, is Grayson Allen really a prospective Physics major? I read somewhere that he was the Sal at his HS, took a bunch of AP classes, got a really high SAT score and would be an above average candidate academically for the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, MIT, etc. even if he never played basketball. Would be crazy if thats true!

Who was the last D1 Basketball and Football player that you all can recall with these sort of academic chops? Bill Bradley maybe?

With devildeac as thread starter, I knew he had to be messing with us.

I am sure there have been many. Here is one that just made the news. Penn State grad John Urschel the 6’3”, 305-pound offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens will begin a PhD in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this year. He will study spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra, and machine learning.

[jv001]

I wonder what the chances are that ESPN would run that across the bottom of millions of TVs on Friday? Naw, they can't bring themselves to do that to their beloved team(Cheats). Way to go devildeac. Sporks if permitted. GoDuke!

As expected must spread more sporks around. :cool: To you devildeac a GoDuke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wsb3]

Don't do this. My nerves are raw enough as it is with the thought that the Cheats are going to win a NC..:(

Jay Buckley, who was the starting center for some of the great Bubas teams at Duke, went on to get a Ph.D. in physics

[MChambers]

Figured it probably had something to do with Duke's attempt to recruit Ivan Renko.

[vfefrenzy]

Joshua Dobbs, current QB at Tennessee is an aerospace engineer. It gets brought up slightly less often than Ryan Fitzpatrick going to Harvard or Tom Brady being a 6th round pick.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading that he was planning to major in Psychology. But the Duke sports website no longer lists majors for the men's basketball team, at least that I could find. In any case I suspect the physics major idea is made up.

[aimo]

You scared the crap out of me. WAY too early for that.

IIRC Nick Horvath was a joint physics and literature major.

Jay Buckley was magna cum laude at Duke in physics and got a PhD at Hopkins

Here's the list of Duke Academic A-A from the Duke Basketball Media Guide:

Jay Buckley 1963
Jay Buckley 1964
Dick DeVenzio 1971
Gary Melchionni (2nd) 1972
Bob Fleischer (2nd) 1974
Bob Fleischer 1975
Mike Gminski (1st) 1978
Jim Spanarkel (1st) 1978
Mike Gminski (1st) 1979
Jim Spanarkel (1st) 1979
Mike Gminski 1980
Quin Snyder (2nd) 1989
Shane Battier (1st) 2000
Shane Battier (1st) 2001
Mike Dunleavy (2nd) 2002
Greg Paulus (3rd) 2008
Greg Paulus (3rd) 2009
Mason Plumlee (1st) 2012
Mason Plumlee (1st) 2013
Grayson Allen (1st) 2016

Moreover, there's a lot of basketball talent on that list. We should note the two-time 1st teamers:

Buckley, Gminski, Spanarkel, Battier, Mason Plumlee

We could force all student athletes to take one paper class per semester from now on.

If you want to inflict true punishment, make out team tutor their team! :mad: :cool:

I think Andre Dawkins came to Duke with a lot of AP credits, as did Ryan Kelly. And in a story on the Duke website today, they list the six Duke players who have been All-American and Academic All-American in the same year: Gminski, Spanarkel, Battier, Dunleavy, Mason Plumlee (how soon we forget), Grayson Allen. {note: I have since seen that someone else already noted this but I'll post anyway to include the link (http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=210843904&DB_OEM_ID=4200), which also confirms that Grayson is a psychology major.}

I can't recall, who was the student/athlete that gave up a potential pro career to study at Oxford ? This was just within the last 5yrs or so.

"I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"

There may be some truth to that but on this occasion, I initiated/begged/pleaded/cajoled/bribed/extorted a certain initialed mod whose two letters and hyphen will remain unnamed for his mercy/adjudication/redaction of said flames. Thank you very much. (blows almost-loving kiss in general southward direction from Triangle area). ;)

At the moment I am too monogamous to spork either of you. Now that Lent is over, I will have to change my ways.

I'll throw in another: Shaquille O'Neal has an earned PhD from Barry University in Miami (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/05/shaquille-oneal-earns-doctorate-degree/) as well as his Bachelors and Masters - all earned after leaving LSU as a Sophomore.
