Could help us with Patterson.

how much of a loss is this for duke?

It's going to be a plus, for Duke...IMO

Defensive post play becomes a huge question mark. Thomas will need to improve a ton to be effective. He showed flashes but I'm not willing to rest a season on his shoulders.

We would still be relatively big with singler at the 3, king at the 4, and thomas at the 5. Zoubek is a question mark...can he get stronger and improve endurance over the summer?

Landing Patterson would be HUGE. he is ready to contribute defensively. Don't think we would need him to score right away.

Heard Patterson is all but a lock to Florida.

Thomas seems to thin to me to play the 5 effectively.

That was the rumor going around yesterday, turned out to be false.

He could be going to Florida but I don't think anything is set in stone yet.

Don't worry dookies. Much like Randolph Morris, he'll be back in uniform after a short suspension.

I think PP is a FL lean right now. As much as Dook can offer PT in the post, FL will be able to offer the same next year. Horford and Noah are gone.

The 2006 recruiting class so far has been a huge bust for Coach K, McRoberts is now gone and Paulus just "medicore" enough to where he'll have to stay four years because he isn't good enough to make it in the NBA yet he isn't a top tier college player that Duke needs to lead them.

I said this last week and I'll say it again, Smith and Singler better be all-world as freshmen or we may be seeing the beginning of the demise of Duke as a college hoops power and the end of the Coach K era.
