Fluff from recruiting thread

How could a guy whose first name is Cameron not pick Duke?

If it's Cameron Bluish, he's a lock. "Reddish?" Not so much.

It was all part of our master plan. We named Giles for Harry Giles, the Allen Building for Grayson, and Trent Hall (I think I'm dating myself with that one) for Gary Trent. Cameron is for Cameron Reddish. We can easily change Bassett to Barrett. And I'm sure somewhere in America there is a future star basketball player whose last name is "Social Sciences"

Didn't work with Dwayne Wade.

We used to have a Trustee named Charles Wade. Does that count?

Didn't work too well for Mike Chapel either. Or was that Duke Chappell? ;)

For you movie buffs, it might have been Ambrose Chapel.

[NSDukeFan]

So looking at the reclassifying merry go round, that would boost Barrett up to #2 (not that it matters) with Bagley going to the 2017 class (probably).
It used to be you couldn't keep track of the OADs because they come and go so quickly.
Now it's tough to even figure out what class they're in.

That has also been difficult at Carolina where students didn't have to attend class.




Not sure if didn't is necessarily correct since the athletic institution doesn't seem to be concerned about what happened and doesn't figure it did anything wrong.

[rsvman]

Didn't work with Dwayne Wade.

Maybe that's because his name is actually Dwyane Wade.

Wasn't it because there was a man who knew too much, unlike another movie where the man knew too little.

The man who knew too little was Pierre Richard........................and the shoe was black.

But he was the man who wasn't there....

No, that was the man who would be king ...

How did we get from The Man Who Knew Too Much (Ambrose Chapel) to the Tall Blond Man with One Back Shoe (Pierre Richard ... Tom Hanks played in the American remake as The Man With One Red Shoe)?

The original The Man Who Knew Too Much was a detective named Horne Fisher, a character in a 1922 collection of short stories by C.K. Chesterton.

Hitchcock appropriated the title, but not the story or the character for his 1934 film -- which starred Leslie Banks as The Man Who Knew Too Much. When he re-made the move in 1954, Jimmy Stewart played the title role.

As for The Man Who Knew Too Little, that would be Bill Murray, who played a character named Wallace Ritchie in the 1997 film, The Man Who Knew Too Little.

BTW: That film is one of my guilty pleasures, even though Roger Ebert gave it just one star.

That is such a silly/idiotic movie. I've watched it more than twice.

Close one here. (https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/scientific-mapp-1.html)

Wow; I had not heard that one before. Is he perhaps related to the former UVA player Majestic Mapp?

What's the All-Time starting 5 of players who have Duke-building names?

Can't come up with a "proper" starting 5, but we play positionless, right?

Grayson "The Administration" Allen
Gary "The 1980's North Campus Freshman" Trent, Jr.
Harry "The Old School Dorm" Giles
Shavlik "The New School Dorm" Randolph
Jack "The Lecture" White

Not my best work, but a start!

Great start! I will add:
Carmen "The Stadium" Wallace (Wade)
Jay "the Center' Bryan

and flipping to the women's side
Lexie "the old school dorm" Brown

I heard that UNC didn't even recruit Scientific.

I would assume (obviously a risk there) that this time of year there isn't that much going on, so threads more often get derailed and take tangents.

The fractured tail was Mutley's, but he was Dick Dastardly's sidekick, not Snidely's (although Dick and Snidely were easily confused).

Speaking of buildings, my second pick after "The Landlord" would be Patrick "The Healer" Davi(d)son. That is all. I only need him and The Landlord, unless of course I'm able to bring Mike Chappell off the bench to tower over everyone.

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because..uh..some people out there in our nation don't have mapps....such as....the Iraq.....everywhere like such as.

One man's fluff is another man's fodder ...

Personally, I think any post opining about minutes a recruit will play belongs in this thread, reducing the recruiting thread even more drastically.

Now GOOD, witty puns belong in their own thread ... which might be the shortest thread in DBR history ...
