As long as they can ball and stay academically eligible, I don't think race is an issue at any NCAA program.
Sadly academic eligibility and race go together often....
It sure doesn't help to prepare them for a life outside of athletics though.

Damn, this kid needs more study hall time if that's his final answer to "What number are you wearing?"

Programs have study hall where tutors can "do their homework for players" to keep them eligible.It sure doesn't help to prepare them for a life outside of athletics though.

I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but coach K does have that Bobby Knight mentality that white guys can play too. I wouldn't go so far as saying he's trying to make a roster of just white kids, but you have to admit Duke does have alot of white guys starting. Nothing wrong with that, but that is the perception.

It's the perception that they have a lot of white guys starting? Can't you just, like, look and see the reality of many white starters?

Pretty sure he's just pointing out of what he consistently hit in college.

Yeah, the perception is that Duke likes to start white players.. You don't have to be a genius to see that. There isn't too many D1 schools who recruit mainly white kids. Major programs tend to recruit the black kids.

Yeah, I perceive that the majority of Duke players are white. You don't have to be a genius to see that. There isn't too many D1 schools who recruit mainly white kids. Major programs tend to recruit the black kids. Duke tends to roll out the white kids.
