I get it, and the treatment of previous Duke players has been maybe a bit unfair, but the level to which it was taken this year was disgraceful.

If he is an All American that trips 3 dudes over the course of 100 games and doesn't smoke enough pot to earn multiple suspensions, I'll take him right now. Some folks have lost all perspective when it comes to college sports. There are players throwing dirty elbows and undercutting people every game, and those same folks talk about how they love that dirty player's grit, but throw an errant foot in a couple people's direction, and a kid is fair game to be attacked like he is Donald Trump. Meanwhile, over in Lawrence, people are being raped, girls beaten up, property destroyed, and multiple drug arrests, and barely a peep.

Oh, and by the way, that meltdown on the bench happened shortly after this...

Sometimes we forget the kids are human, and I would gladly accept a kid with this kind of character into the Monarch family.

If you were as passionate about ODU recruits and players as your are for that punk Greyson Allen, that would be amazing

My outrage when Baze arrested during warmups was similar. I wrote a letter to the mayor complaining about the disgusting act of showmanship from their police officers. These things are different that banter about how good a recruiting class is. They are real things that effect kids' lives.

Baze broke the law. His actions affected his life.

Fact is if Baze wasn't an athlete I doubt you'd be signing this tune

Grayson Allens play on the court this year was disgraceful. What a joke. Just another private school over privledged Duke basketball player. That kid is entitled and plays like it as well.

If you were so worried about the backlash he was receiving maybe you shouldve called him up and told him TO STOP FCKING TRIPPING PEOPLE AND CRYING LIKE A BI*CH.

Cant say I've ever watched a player do the LOW CHARACTER sh*t hes done over his tenure playing college hoops. Not saying they arent players but when you play for one of the most nationally recognized teams in the nation, you watch the things you say and do and clearly he didnt give a damn if he was continually doing it over and over.

FCK DUKE.

Yeah, 3 tripping incidents that resulted in zero players so much as falling down amounts to sooo much more than UNCheat failing for DECADES to make any meaningful attempt to educate their athletes. Funny how passionate folks are about some BS, but nobody aside from the N&O can muster the energy to expose the cesspool that the Tarholes have created.

Monarch, I'm sorry, but have you actually watched the tripping videos? I don't understand what you mean by resulting in "zero players so much as falling down."

They were intentional and possibly could have seriously injured guys. It was a joke that Coach K gave him a slap on the wrist.

FWIW, North Carolina skirts the rules with fake classes and Kansas plays guys despite weed smoking and tons of arrests.....I get it. Greyson Allen is still a trash competitor.

The real point to me is that there are players who are far dirtier with far more incidents and much more dangerous plays and it is never discussed. Let's be real for a minute. The whole "someone could have been seriously injured stuff" is BS. It was an excuse for the media to freak out. There are guys who undercut guys or foul the living **** out of someone who is going up for a dunk on a regular basis, but none of us can name them because nobody freaks out, hell commentators will say something like "that is a good hard foul" as the offensive player flies into a camera man under the basket, and those plays are far more dangerous than an errant foot.

If you want to call the dude a dirty player, that is fine, he has earned that. But let's not pretend he is the only dirty player, or even the dirtiest of the dirty players. And let's not justify the entirety of the sports media unleashing all of the jaded venom that they can muster in the direction of one, by all accounts, good kid who has a weird reflex to stick his leg out and trip players.

You have a different opinion, thats fine. I don't remember any other kids having multiple incidents like this. I don't remember kids being as unapologetic about it. Hard fouls is a bit different than intentionally tripping someone. He's not playing the ball/turning into a hard foul. If Allen would have taken responsibility and Coach K would have had the balls to sit him a few games, it would have went away.

The weird reflex thing is an excuse and a joke. It's clearly intentional. Unless people think Draymond Green has a weird reflex thing as well.

There is now a new thread to continue your Duke/UNC smack : http://www.csnbbs.com/thread-816344.html

He's a heady guard from Vermont. ODU first to offer.

@BillElleby: AAU Boys 2017 Addidas Tacoma 17U Rotary EYBL/Trojans Stars of Game 2018 Phillip Pepple 6'10 C Rotary 14pts Phillip has Old Dominion Offer.

Josh Roberts, a class of 2018, 6-8, PF playing for the Southern Stampede (GA), picked up an offer from Old Dominion. His recruitment has really been picking up.

Sorry for the back and forth on this one but Keenan Sarvan has been accepted into Bishop Sullivan. I know nothing about his skill level but would assume that this is a recruiting win for ODU.

Hes skilled and moves decent for a tall dude. Gonna have to pack on some muscle for sure. Hes different than the bigs we have had

ODU has had skilled tall guys that could move in the past (Alex Laughton for example). Since I am not familiar with this guy, how is he different from any big guys ODU has had in the past?
