Sadly academic eligibility and race go together often....

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.

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

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.

And John Thompson was notorious for having all-black teams at Georgetown.

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?

WTF does it matter if they are white or not???

If I posted a thread saying "boy the Lakers sure do have a lot of black guys on the team", I'd be thrown of this goddamn board.

Settle Down Rush, white guys are allowed to play basketball too lol

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.

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.

So you perceive that Duke starts white kids? Or did you, like, see them play, and see that they had a bunch of white dudes starting? Did noticing that people were white require some sort of intuition?

You can perceive whatever the hell you want, but I'll bet you have no idea how many black players that Duke recruits.
