December 22, 201213 yr I honestly am not even remotely a fan of it. Nothing I can do but I dislike it. I will have the same feelings for Parker that I feel for Irving and Rivers. Dislike them both for what they did to the university. I'm sure you UK fans will blast me, but the one and done system ruins the game. K, rant done. What did they do to the university?
December 22, 201213 yr All you have to do is pass 6 hours in the first semester to be eligible. They don't even have to go to class the second semester if they're going to be one and done. As I said, Deng, Irving and Rivers all finished their freshman year of college at Duke.
December 22, 201213 yr As I said, Deng, Irving and Rivers all finished their freshman year of college at Duke. Good for them. Athletes get so much help these days on the academic side of things with tutoring etc. No athlete should struggle with general education classes at any university with all that help.
December 22, 201213 yr Good for them.

I agree wholeheartedly. I even want to say that Irving took classes during the lockout also.
December 22, 201213 yr All you have to do is show up to pass entry level classes. Easy classes along with tutors who are willing to write papers, do homework, etc....It shouldn't matter if you go to Harvard or Eastern Tennessee State. Entry level classes are a joke.
December 22, 201213 yr Author Pathetic this kid is getting slammed for picking Duke Jabari Parker, Duke Blue Devils recruit, deals with Twitter backlash for decision - ESPN Chicago I do commend the kid for his maturity and reaction to all this. Handling it with class. I know it comes with the territory of coming to Duke but this goes a bit too far.
