Spew is a better name than fire packer? 

How far did the Blue Devils go with Cherokee Parks and Eric Meek patrolling the post in 95?

Duh?  Because Davidson won two more games in the tournament than Duke.  Obviously, they competed at a higher level when all was said and done.

You obviously follow Memphis basketball closely.  Did you know they used to be called Western Tennessee University?

Yes, my mistake.  I meant they have made it to the elite 8 the past 3 years, and now the championship.  Thanks for catching that.

And our only other 2009 big man that Duke has shown any interest in is DeShawn Painter, who looks like he is most likely going to Virginia. We NEED big men!!! djo81491, I think coach K has shown some interest in a lot of big men, none of them have bitten though.  Im not sure if he did offer them scholarships or not though.  Do you think that Duke needs that post man strictly for defense and rebounding or do they need a big offensive threat also?

I disagree, Coach K still tries to recruit student athletes, not kids thats going to play one year and go pro, all you have to do is listen to some of the interviews on TV , they can't even talk and i'm sure with their vocabulary college is not their long suit, I am proud to cheer for a team where academics are important and their players can read and write.

Coach K has just missed out on some top notch interior talent in the past few years.  He was one of the leaders for greg monroe, he was in the top 3 for Patrick Patterson.  Just because he didn't get 1 guy doesn't mean he's a poor recruiter.  Nor is he a poor coach.  I'm a Kentucky fan so this pains me to say this, but since 1999 Duke has been the most dominant program in college basketball, even over Florida who had 2 titles, simply because Duke has been consistently great for the past 10 years.  The past 2 years have been somewhat down years, but most programs in the country would be thrilled to have a 6 and a 2 seed.  Every program has a down year or 2, especially when you are dealing with such top notch talent as Duke has had because of early defections that are somewhat unpredictable.  Duke will be back and in force, a few people are really overreacting.

oh and btw, duke is the only program in the nation to sign at least 1- 5 star player every year since 2002.  And have tied for signing the most 5 star prospects in that time span with kansas.  Every other program has had at least 2 years from 2002-2008 w/o a 5 star.  I'll take that kind of consistency any day thank you.

Coach K is not a terrible recruiter.  I trust him and he makes things work, even if he has no big man.  Big Z is developing as a big man and he will help the team next year.  Don't worry about the program every year they will sign one or two good guys who can make contributions to the team in different ways. Of course Duke's recruits aren't as good as UNC's.  They can't be every year.

You gotta be smokin' crack.  He's done more with what he gets than other coaches who walk into a winning squad and win championships.  He hasn't had that luxury.

dj081491!! You are crazy!! Coach K isn't a terrible recruiter.. He gets players that he believes would build a great "team" chemistry.. I believe he does a great job recruiting guards... I will agree he doesn't do so well with recruiting excellent big men.. As of late that is.. He has recruited great big men but they have been "signing" with other programs because we don't have a "big man" coach!! I think that is the bottom line!! As for signing players in 2009 and 2010!! It's far away... Most of the "high profile" players don't sign until the late signing period of there junior year or the early signing period of there senior year... The reason why UNC has so many recruits is because they have to reload every year because the majority of the players take off to the NBA!!

This is just my opinion!! I love DUKE but we NEED A "BIG MAN COACH"!!!!!!!!!
