Player R.J. Barrett

[ZackM]

Remember when Barnes announced for UNC, and Duke had an exhibition later that day? K's face looked like he was attending a funeral when he walked out for that game.

I remember how John, Tent3 and a few other obnoxious homers whose names I can't recall tried to sell/convince everyone on Roscoe "Rescue" Smith afterwards. Also some JUCO that was supposed to commit but never materialized.

Carrick Felix

Carrick Felix was supposed to be a Barnes stopper. I think he last two weeks into the summer session at Duke.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

With Kyrie and Josh Hairston coming in to deal with Barnes in all of the Duke/UNC games, we had no reason to worry.

 

[cameron06]

With the Garland developments, RJ is an absolute must have.

Come to Duke, RJ!

Garland developments?

 

[aiw]

Not coming to Duke

 

[DurhamSon]

Unless Bol Bol looks like Gobert with a decent jumpshot then I finally think this guy will break the streak of #1 projected NBA draft picks that Duke was supposed to have at some point but didn't quite get there, going back to Jabari, Okafor, Ingram, Giles, and Tatum. Oh, and Bagley when he goes #4-5 overall this season.

Any updates on R.J.?

 

[DurhamSon]

Any updates on R.J.?

He is announcing for Duke in 3 weeks.

 

[DurhamSon]

Ugh, I don't think my TV can pick up Canadian. Do I need to wrap tinfoil around some moose antlers to get this channel?

Back 2 Back 2 Back Thunderous 32 appearances

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

This is definitely Duke, right? No reason to watch.

And will there be subtitles in English?

 

[slswofford3]

Will he, too, struggle with the language barrier the Alabama QB has to deal with coming from Hawaii?

LOL. Has to be Alcan foil from Quebec.

Big Day on the 10th. I'll watch live for certain.

 

[torontoduke]

RJ is bilingual - maybe the presser will be done in English & French.

 

[torontoduke]

Announcement at 6 pm EST next Friday - I'll watch at the bar.

 

[skins]

I know you’re aware of this Toronto, but if RJ doesn’t commit you will have to self-ban. You know what you signed up for.

I recognize this, and I'm all in. Stakes are high - been over 20 years since a Canadian has played for Duke.

 

[rhfarmer]

Meagher or Die, Barrett!

 

[torontoduke]

I'm nervous about RJ's decision, though most signs suggest I should not be.
