Jai Lucas Robbed of ACC Coach of the Year Honors

[Ya Boi]

After the team we saw last year and we had not 1 guy on the roster...Duke is Duke...guys are coming just because when we had to build a team from the ashes...picked up a 5 star in the process and built a team with chess pieces from the transfer portal...NO STARS...all to lose 7 games in year 1? What are we arguing people? That's a **** of a job bruh considering the circumstances

Is this a consolation prize to Duke for losing Mensah?

The rumors in the Triangle that UNC will go after Jai this offseason....

 

[Hold My Beer]

Roach was the only player that was on the team before Jon took over everybody came to Duke for Jon

Duke under Coach K was giving out that NIL before NIL was a thing — just like every other program that was serious about competing at a high level.

It’s not the lure of playing for Jon Scheyer that gets 5-star recruits. It’s that big money coupled with Duke’s brand and legacy of producing high-profile NBA players

It’s crazy cause Duke don’t be paying crazy like that but the Duke brand help the players get crazy NIL deals

Jai will be an NBA coach next. Ive head several people discuss his potential as a new age Quin Snyder

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

For those who forget, this is where he started from on March 23rd 2025.
If you notice, he was working with all of the former players from the previous season then they all entered the portal so Coach Jai Lucas has to enter the portal to find 12 players to complete the roster.

I don't see or recall Miami being able to recruit Duke caliber players up until now
